Rooms at Rio

We are staying at the Rio Aug.15-19. Any suggestions as to which tower to try for?

Overall the Masquarade Tower is newer and the most of the rooms are still pretty nice. You would be closer to the skyshow, the seafood buffet and the Voodoo Lounge entrance. The Ipenema Tower is easier get to from the main lobby but they are remodelling it right now. From what I hear the old rooms are in bad shaped but I stayed in a new room in the Ipenema Tower and it was lovely.

Thank you Leo for your help. We are taking another trip Oct.3-10 and staying at CircusCircus. Made all those plans before I started reading this forum. Booked through Travelicity and can%26#39;t change, but we do have a tower room at least. Wish us luck!!

Just got back from the Rio and stayed in the older Ipanema Tower. Our room was very nice except room 1138 has a view only of the A/C units and parking lot. We would have loved our room if it had a better view, but if you shut the drapes, we couldn%26#39;t complain about a thing.

Also, the Ipanema tower is closer access to the pool, so you don%26#39;t walk through as much of the casino with you swim suit on - if you care abou that sort of thing.

No we don%26#39;t swim. Don%26#39;t have the BODY for the pool. But it%26#39;s good to know that your room was O.K. Thanks for the input!!
