OK......... the RIO Masquerade Suite was quite a surprise upgrade. I didn't expect this as I dragged my tired ass into the front lobby of the RIO at 12 midnight. Check out a number of photos from inside the suite. It was sparkling new. Not sure if they redecorated recently, but I could see hardly any signs of wear. As usual, Mark picked me up at the airport (with rum and diet coke all chilled and ready in the back of the car... this tradition started in December on the way from the Stratosphere to Wynn). Mark knows me so well by now, he doesn't hold up a sign... just waits by baggage claim... He provides such a great friendly arrival to The Vegas. I had every intention of staying in my suite at the 'dust, but wanted to check in at the RIO to find out about the Baccarat Tourney times and registration. Ran into the lobby of the RIO around midnight, and check-in went kind of like this : Tipped the guy at the check-in desk $10 and just asked for a room on a high floor (this was a 2 day comp stay, as part of the mini-baccarat tourney). He said he would do better than that --- well... he sure did; the room was great, and I used the large Jacuzzi with a view at least 3 times --- of course, I was all alone this trip, would have been nice if my wife was along. Also, this was midweek, which I think had something to do with it. I gave him another $10 right after he told me it was a Masquerade Suite; figured he went out of his way for me, and $10 per day to upgrade to a Masquerade Suite was well worth it.
Met some crazy folks (long story) on my way up in the elevator to the suite. Unpacked briefly --- checked things out... put my extra cash in the safe... and then back to the limo and off to the 'dust for some Big Baccarat.
