Rio Casino to be Renamed Hyatt Hotels Amid Major Renovation
The Rio Casino, a staple venue for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for the past 15 years, is undergoing a significant transformation. The casino, acquired by Dreamscape Companies LLC in 2019, will be rebranded as Hyatt Hotels. This change comes as part of a deal between the new owner and Hyatt Hotels Corp, a leading player in the hospitality industry.
The renovation plans are extensive and include the reconstruction of many areas of the hotel. This includes the casino floor, restaurants, retail stores, bars, and the pool. The Rio Casino rooms will also be rebranded under the Hyatt name, although the exact dates of the renovation are not yet known.
Many participants of the WSOP have expressed concerns about the casino's age and cleanliness. Despite these issues, the Rio's size has allowed it to host numerous WSOP tournaments. However, with the upcoming rebranding and renovation, it remains to be seen whether the WSOP will continue to be held at the Rio.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
