Hyatt’s portfolio was enriched with a hotel in the process of being remodeled, which cost $340 million, called the Rio Hotel Las Vegas.
Phase one of the Las Vegas hotel’s two-phase renovation is expected to be completed this fall. At that time, the reimagined all-suite hotel will move into Hyatt’s Independent Collection under the Destination by Hyatt brand. Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem points for qualifying stays at the Hyatt-affiliated hotel.
Rio Hotel & Casino, 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.
Phase one renovations began in 2023 and are near completion with extensive upgrades to the 1,501-room Ipanema tower, arrival area, exterior, lobby, and gaming floor.
The Las Vegas hotel’s food and beverage outlets, meeting spaces, and outdoor pool area will also be enhanced.
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,” said Eric Birmbaum founder of Dreamscape.
Rio Hotel & Casino is fully participating in the World of Hyatt program allowing members to earn and redeem points for eligible stays.
The Rio is just a short walk from the Las Vegas Strip and a less than 15-minute drive from Harry Reid International Airport.
