Rio
All-Suite Hotel & Casino celebrated its silver anniversary with a festive
reception yesterday overlooking the Las Vegas skyline at VooDoo Rooftop
Nightclub, complete with a giant cake modeled after the iconic red and blue
hotel, champagne, headliners Penn & Teller, Chippendales dancers and a
newly-crowned Rio Rita.
“The
Rio has been an iconic figure in Las Vegas now for 25 years,” said General
Manager Dan Walsh. “What has really made this place special over the years has
been our impressive amenities; our restaurants; our employees—we have 75 day
one employees; and our entertainers, Penn & Teller have been with us for 14
years and Chippendales for 13 years. We
couldn’t be more proud of the team we have assembled; this team has created the
loyalty we have from our out-of-town visitors and local guests. The Rio remains
one of the most popular properties in town and I am proud to be a part of it.”
Picking
up where Walsh left off, Penn Jillette led a toast by saying, “We did our first
show in Las Vegas 22 years ago tonight, and we played a lot of dumps until we
got to the Rio in 2001, where we now have continued to perform in the
conveniently named Penn & Teller Theater for the past 14 years and we hope
to do at least 14 more if they’ll have us. Here’s to my favorite hotel in town,
the Rio!”
