Imagine Rio de Janeiro; smell the surf as it laps the sand. Imagine a seafood bar on the beach. Now imagine those tastes you are dreaming of can be found in at the Rio Hotel in the Las Vegas desert. The restaurant is spacious, with tables situated as privately as possible. There is starched linen with exotic decorative touches. It serves exceptional seafood, from the clam chowder (try this with a side of freshly baked bread) to the dozens of choices of fish. The oyster bar is immense and popular, an experience without equal.
