$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Members of the World of Hyatt loyalty program can now earn and redeem points for qualifying stays at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, which is in the midst of a multiphased, $340 million renovation. The first part of the hotel’s two-phase renovation is expected to be completed in fall, when the reimagined all-suite hotel will move into Hyatt’s Independent Collection under the Destination by Hyatt brand.
The property, owned and operated by Dreamscape, will be the first Destination by Hyatt hotel in Nevada and the third Hyatt hotel in the Las Vegas area.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Rio Hotel & Casino on this transformational project to revitalize the iconic hotel as a Destination by Hyatt hotel in a key market like Las Vegas,” David Tarr, senior vice president of development, Americas, Hyatt, said in a statement. “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.”
Phase one renovations began in 2023 and are near completion at 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,” said Eric Birmbaum, 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.”
The reimagined hotel will have more than 220,000 square feet of renovated function space and meeting facilities.
