rio help (please)
Greg, if you jump on HYPE in the next 3 or 4 days please help me out.
And, of course, anyone else who knows about the Rio.
Well, greg, here we go again--i think a year ago you gave me some rio advice, but it has FELL OUT OF MY BRAIN, he he he.
Staying at rio 4/12 & 4/13.
These are wed & thurs nites.
Will be driving.
I have a rate of $49 / $49.
The clerk said "$49 for mountain limited view, $69 for full mountain view, $79 for strip view". So i just said give me the $49 (love how they UPSELL stuff to ya on the phone, sigh).
I figure i'll arrive in LV at about 1pm or 2pm. Should i ask (or attempt a tip) for a better view or upgrade. I'm traveling alone & on a budget & the view / better room would be 'nice' but not crucial. At most, i'd want to tip $10 to be honest.
The specific room # you ALWAYS ASK FOR, is that an 'upgraded' room, or just jumbo cause of that renovated wall they did to it 8 yrs ago? I think that's how the story went when u explained it 2 yrs ago, lol.
I'll have my vehicle, but may take advantage of the shuttle. Does the shuttle do a round robin from rio to ballys to harrahs to caesars back to rio? Or is there a dedicated shuttle to harrahs? Do you catch the shuttle right out in front at the main entrance? Is it crowded? Do you tip the fella a buck? I know you said "im a cab guy", but i fugred once or twice in your life you must have rode the shuttle, lol !!!!!!!
I probably wont gamble much at all during the trip... and if i do, it wont be at Rio with their minimums.
Thx greg... and any other suggestions you have... let me know. I'm thinking of carrot top. He was at mgm last year for $26, now he's at luxor for $43, sigh. If i can swing it, i'd like to see him. Rumor is they have 1/2 price tix @ the coke bottle & at the F-S-MALL??? Who knows.
