    VEGAS : Paris or RIO
    Those are the two choices so...

    Which one would you rather spend 4 days/3 nights ?

    Will have rental car so getting around aint a problem

    Going in early July - Nothing like Las Vegas in July

      You get more for your money at the Rio but have to take a shuttle to get to the script

          Rio - its an easy walk to Gold Coast - decent walk to Palms. have to cab or shuttle everywhere else.

          Paris - great location - connected to Ballys - easy walk to Planet Hollywood, Cosmo, Bellagio etc

          I like Rio but Paris has better location and better restaurants.

                I'd say Paris as think rooms a bit nicer. Either will work though since using a rental car. Are you planning on spending most of time on strip Sam?

                  early july is wsop in progress with Rio hopping madly. Easy shuttle to strip even w/car. Both are great hotels with Paris in great location.

                      Paris is huge pain in the ass to get to with or without a car so the Rio would be the easy pick for me.

                        Plus the Palms is right across the street that has a lot to offer and Gold Coast is a nice quieter Casino as well

                        I'd prefer Rio myself

                          Rio too crowded during summer due to poker, tho for some reason I love their sportsbook. Only has voodoo steakhouse and buzios for good meal

                            Yep much better location IMO.

                            Rio rooms are basic but huge and usual have some unique views. Paris rooms are small but more modern and the view are hit or miss (you can get one with a amazing view of the Bellagio fountains and the next trip be staring at parking garage wall.)

                                          Unless you're playing WSOP events or poker in general I'd much rather stay on the strip. I'm staying at rio for 10 days because of the former, whenever I go to just party I always stay on strip. Nothing is near the Rio. Cab or walk 1 mile to do anything.

                                                Paris because it is on the strip. Their casino is pretty low key which is nice. Rooms suck though. They are small and "dainty."

                                                      Rio upgraded the chairs like 3-4 months ago is pretty sweet though the sportsbook only has two good screens all the rest are way too small

                                                              Love the Rio for the price... quality of that price... and you can take the shuttle free of charge.. no tip either to Harrah's and you're right on the strip. Honestly... no brainer. Wouldn't second guess it. Look more into the Rio.

Goo goo dancers and DJ in center bar at nights, voodoo lounge cool place with a great view on top the hotel. You can alsoalso grab a good steak up there as well. Sportsbook solid w drink tickets per bet. I don't care for the deli next to it. Rooms are nice, big and great view. Seafood buffet large and not bad. Very good lookin hookers, if you're into that. All around great atmosphere, good vibe and music.
