That is great, thx! Are you talking about the shuttles or actual buses???

If you get a great cheap deal and are happy with the Rio as a place to stay for other reasons, go for it, but just know you will be spending a lot of money on ubers, or need to figure out trams/buses or other alternate arrangements to get to and from Horseshoe/Paris. I know if you've never been to Vegas and just glance at a map of the strip and surrounding areas, it looks like the Rio is right there - it's not. I would strongly discourage staying at the Rio now that the WSOP is at Horseshoe/Paris, unless you're fine with taking an Uber/cab back-and-forth every day (and paying for same).
Thx for the HU ; will probably opt for the bus/shuttle/uber 90% of the time, but will definitely walk it a few times. I am more in the fit/not scared to get into a scrap side of the spectrum

Gotcha. If it is not really an enjoyable or at least un-tilting walk, might just eat the uber costs/rely on public transportation.
A curious thing happened today : I had reserved the Rio several months ago and upon exploring other options today, I noticed that the Rio was offering a 35% discount!!! So I just went ahead and cancelled my booking, reserved again and saved $350 for my 19 day stay
