Rio Las Vegas secured ten honors in the Las Vegas Review-Journal 2025 Best of Las Vegas awards. The resort earned three gold, three silver, and four bronze medals across several categories including entertainment, dining, and nightlife. This recognition comes during an extensive multi-phase transformation of the property, which is located just off the main Las Vegas Strip.
In the entertainment sector, the acrobatic production WOW – The Vegas Spectacular took home the gold award for Best Acrobatic Show. The long-standing magic act Penn and Teller also received a gold award for Best Magic Show. The Empire Strips Back, a newer addition to the property, earned gold for Best New Act or Show and a bronze for Best Female Revue. The Comedy Cellar was recognized with a silver award for Best Comedy Club.
The dining and nightlife offerings at Rio Las Vegas also received multiple accolades. The Canteen Food Hall earned a silver award for Best Food Hall, while Tony Luke’s won silver for Best Philly Cheesesteak. In the beverage and lounge categories, The Wine Cellar Tasting Room received a bronze award for Best Wine Bar, and Lapa Lounge took bronze for Best Cocktail Bar. Voodoo Lounge, known for its elevated position above the city, was awarded bronze for Best View.
These awards follow significant investments by the current ownership to revitalize the destination. The ongoing property transformation has already seen the completion of 1,500 newly remodeled suites in the Ipanema Tower. Additionally, the resort recently debuted a refreshed 117,000 square foot casino floor and a updated rewards program designed to enhance the guest experience.
Management stated that these wins reflect the renewed energy of Rio Las Vegas and a commitment to providing high-quality experiences for visitors. The property continues to operate as a Hyatt-affiliated resort, allowing guests to use and earn points through the global loyalty brand. As the renovation project moves into future phases, the resort aims to maintain its position as a prominent off-Strip destination for tourists and local residents alike.
