today that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem points for qualifying
stays at the Hyatt-affiliated hotel, which is in the midst of a multi-phased,
$340 million transformation. Phase one of the hotel’s two-phase renovation is
expected to be completed in fall 2024, when the reimagined all-suite hotel will
move into Hyatt’s Independent Collection under the Destination by Hyatt brand.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Rio Hotel &
Casino on this transformational project to revitalize the iconic hotel as a
Destination by Hyatt hotel,” said David Tarr, senior vice president of
development, Americas, Hyatt. “Destination by Hyatt hotels are individual at
heart and embody the true spirit of the destination, and Rio Hotel & Casino
will be no exception. This renovation will serve as a gateway for guests to
experience a place of purposefully crafted entertainment and immersive experiences,
infused with authentic design, and warm and welcoming service. We look forward
to providing World of Hyatt members and guests an authentic and unforgettable
experience in Las Vegas.”
Rio
Hotel & Casino, which is owned and operated by Dreamscape, will mark the
first Destination by Hyatt hotel in Nevada and the third Hyatt hotel in the Las
Vegas area, strengthening Hyatt’s brand footprint and leading the way for new
growth in one of the most visited leisure, group, and convention markets in the
world.
When
complete, the reimagined Rio Hotel & Casino will be completely transformed
into a paradise for all. A place of adventure and discovery beyond the Strip,
Rio Hotel & Casino renovation includes fresh design, thoughtful amenities,
upgraded offerings and friendly service creating a place that is comfortable
for everyone to enjoy, find inspiration and be themselves. Phase one
renovations began in 2023 and are near completion with extensive upgrades and
enhancements to the 1,501-room Ipanema tower, arrival area, building exterior,
lobby, gaming floor, sports book, multiple food and beverage outlets, meeting
spaces, and outdoor pool area.
Phase
two will include a full renovation and redesign of the hotel’s 1,012 Masquerade
Tower guestrooms and associated public areas.
"We
are thrilled to welcome World of Hyatt members to the Rio Hotel & Casino as
we embark on revitalizing this iconic Las Vegas landmark,” expressed Eric
Birnbaum founder of Dreamscape. "For almost 30 years the Rio has been one
of the most exciting and talked about resorts in Las Vegas. Working with
Hyatt opens the door for us to share this special place with an entirely new
group of travelers and we look forward to them witnessing the changes we have
made to date and will continue to make throughout the renovation.”
Redefining
the hotel experience for leisure guests and business travelers, the reimagined
hotel will welcome guests to enjoy spacious suites with floor-to-ceiling views
of the Las Vegas Valley, vibrant dining and nightlife venues for inventive
cocktails and cuisine, high-energy casino excitement and world-class
entertainment that embodies the true spirit of Las Vegas, while providing
everything travelers need in one place once renovations are completed in the
fall. The hotel will meet the demand of Las Vegas’ burgeoning meetings and
event business with more than 220,000 square feet of renovated function space
and state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
