Rio Poker Room

Rio poker mon ⁸⁄₃₀ 12:30 am
Sat down and played for about 30 minutes, then this couple sat in seats ½ i was in seat 4. I raised on my bb $ 35, everyone folded and sb has $ 100 left shows jc2c and is trying to make a decision wether to call or fold and seat 2 tells him to go all in. I told him he should stay out of this hand and shouldn’t give people advice. He called me an idiot and said I am too serious. I said There are rules and we all should follow them. The dealer didn’t do anything. A few hands after that seat 2 wins a pot and hands seat 1 about 50 $ in chips. I asked the dealer to run the game, And explained her what happened. He called me an idiot and asked me to go to the parking lot. At this point I called the floor. Debra came by and couldn’t handle the situation so I left. I won’t be playing in this poker room as long as this floor person and dealer are there or they train their employees properly.
Floor person: Debra
Dealer: AJ

The Rio Poker Room is in need of new management, to put it lightly. Everyone knows well managed poker rooms expand and earn money and respect, increase player counts, and make more money.
The dealers were the biggest disappointment. I would advise players seek another location, because the local players at the Rio do not have enough money to win anyway. I felt as though I was in a trailer park game room. Believe me I wish it was a better experience. It was the 4^th time we stayed there in 4 months.
I do not plan on staying at the Rio or playing in there poker room, tournaments excluded of course.
Other table games like craps, blackjack, etc. are very professional and knowledgable. Both the Venetian and Bellagio are poker rooms to learn from.

Here for the WSOP and figure I’d try their regular poker room. It sucks. There were about 13 people on a wait list and they took about 20 minutes to realize they should start a new table. At the table it took about 1 hour for drink service to come. Then about 45 minutes after taking the order for the drinks to come. The waitress forgot my drink order twice so it was over 2 hours to get 1 drink.
Made some money playing NL 1 – 3 but the action is super slow.

WSOP was going on when we were there that was awesome! I didn’t play buy-​in was $ 10k to rich for my blood. Free shuttle to the strip from Rio

«on that good kush and alcohol» but I didn’t have anyone to call ;(
Cocktails in the poker room were ON POINT the night I went. 7 & 7 ALLL NIIIIIGHT LOOONG! Cocktails were a bit slow so order doubles!
Oh almost forgot, the poker room itself was just ok. Not much action here compared to bigger ones like at the Venetian. It’s odd, you would figure the home of the WSOP would draw more people on the regular but their room is quite small and depressing. I had to drink in order to cope with it.

stayed at the Rio for March Madness. nice spot for this poker room. located in the Ipanema Tower (my tower) and next door to the sportsbook. i was lucky enough to watch my brackets get busted on several occassions from the comfort of my poker seat. yay me.
NL tourneys run at 1200, 1500, 1800 and i think 2100. not sure if there was a midnight one. $ 70 buy-​in for 4000 chips. mostly tourists run this poker room during the tourneys. pretty tight players. cash games are minimum $ 100 for $ 1-​$ 3 NL. they opened up an Omaha game once while i was here. they didn’t get a full table though.
the room itself is nice, clean and well organized. dealers were friendly and chatty. the chairs need some upgrading though. they didn’t swivel or rock. and after playing for hours, one needs a little rock and roll. dealer chairs swiveled.
overall, nice room and if we stay here next year, i’ll be back.
FYI: this is NOT where the WSOP is played. that’s in the hall.
