We finally got to all hang out together on the 7th!!!

We waited for Elsita to come home from work,

and we went shopping. After that, we went to the Rio Hotel!!!

The Rio was the first all suite casino in the Las Vegas area.

The hotel towers are covered in the signature purple and red glass. The Rio hotel's 2,563 suites range in size from 600 ft² up to 13,000 ft² and have floor to ceiling windows.

The complex includes a wine cellar that has more than 50,000 bottles.

We debated wether it was worth the money, paying $23.00 to have dinner at the World Carnival Buffet.

It was totally worth it!

The Carnival World Buffet has been a signature attraction since the casino opened. It was the first buffet in Las Vegas to have multiple live cooking stations and theme sections on the buffet line. The Carnival World Buffet is credited with taking the quality of the Las Vegas buffets to a new level in quality and price. The Carnival World Buffet was so successful that when the Masquerade Village opened it included a higher end seafood buffet, Village Seafood Buffet.

We were so sick by the time we were done! We were disgusted!

Hangin' out at the Rio Casino floor!

Steven immitating Jose!

Check out our bellies (so big from the buffet!

After waiting a while, we went to Masquerade Village inside the Rio Hotel to watch The Show in the Sky!

Masquerade Village is a section of the casino that includes Masquerade Show in the Sky. The show is a free show that dance and style from Brazilian Carnival, and Mardi Gras type floats. The show has a stage with a dance and singing show while floats on guide rails hang from the ceiling and go through out the Masquerade Village. The floats throw what some say are lucky Rio themed beads.

The show was awesome, we got lots and lots of beads!!!

And now I am immitating Jose!!!

And then it was time to say goodnight!!!
