Spent five days in Vegas doing various things, maybe easier to break up into themes. Stayed at The Rio with it's Brazilian Carnivale theme, great hotel and sweet 27th floor suite (pun intended, and The Rio hotel is ALL suites) with floor to ceiling windows all along. Just off Strip but close (and with free shuttle), but never stayed there before and plenty to see and do without needing to go to The Strip.
The Rio had a really cool nightly "Show in the Sky" with dancers and music and floating "ships" on ceiling tracks, from which the dancers threw Mardi Gras beads down to the crowd. The hotel also had a very memorable rooftop restaurant and outdoor lounge on the 51st floor, The Voodoo Lounge, for awesome and airy night views of The Strip!
Also explored nearby casinos The Orleans, The Palms, and the Gold Coast. Nice to see some new ones this time around....and extra nice being OFF Strip having a car there and all. Much less hassle with parking, traffic, etc.
