Additional Details
No plastic edit layers - just the proof adhered to the folder. Fascinating piece of financial history from this casino company.
The Rio opened on January 15, 1990, with a 44,000 sq ft casino and 424 suites. It was the first all-suite hotel in the Las Vegas Valley. It was owned by Anthony Marnell and built by Marnell Corrao Associates. The property struggled during its first two years because of its off-Strip location, but it would eventually thrive. The Rio's success prompted a number of hotel expansions in the 1990s. The hotel includes the three-wing Ipanema Tower, which stands at 20 stories. A 1997 renovation added Masquerade Village, a two-story retail and restaurant complex which also featured the Masquerade Show in the Sky. The 41-story Masquerade Tower was added as well.
In 1999, Marnell sold the Rio to Harrah's Entertainment for $766 million.
