There’s a metric hell-ton going at Rio, including the upcoming opening of its Canteen Food Hall on Friday, Jan. 19, 2024.<\/p>\n

Rio’s owner, Dreamscape, is investing about $350 million in the beleaguered off-Strip hotel-casino. Dreamscape took over operations of Rio from Caesars Entertainment in Oct. 2, 2023.<\/p>\n

We’ve got the inside scoop on what’s happening at Rio, including an exclusive first look at the menus for the resort’s new food hall. Or, as the kids call it, boom.<\/p>\n

Whatever they’re called, food courts, food halls, food collectives, they’re here to stay and we’re a fan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was rough seeing Rio neglected by its former operator, although, it didn’t make much sense to invest in a casino it sold.<\/p>\n

Dreamscape is determined to return Rio to its former glory, and from what we’ve heard, they’re making a lot of smart moves to accomplish that goal.<\/p>\n

The only way to go is up, and Rio’s rebirth is going to surprise many Las Vegas fans who have given up on the place, bemoaning the loss of the once-renowned Carnival World Buffet and free “Masquerade Show in the Sky,” among other things.<\/p>\n

Food halls are the new buffets in Las Vegas, and Rio’s is shaping up to be a big draw. We’ve got an exclusive first look at all the menus for the Canteen Food Hall.<\/p>\n

We bopped into the food hall in December. There’s been a lot of progress since then.<\/p>\n

Yep, there’s a burger place in the under-construction food hall at Rio (in the former buffet space). Pic shows the root beer float unit at Attaboy Burger. Anticipate sticker shock, and by that we mean very reasonable prices, which is shocking. https:\/\/t.co\/pPsA3mr3EO<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/uugNyaBKX6<\/a><\/p>\n
