Following a $340 million property-wide renovation, the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has officially joined the Destinations by Hyatt brand.

The Rio is owned and managed by Dreamscape Companies. The property is the largest within Hyatt’s global hotel portfolio, based on room count, and the first Destination by Hyatt hotel in Nevada.
