LAS VEGAS (November 6, 2026) – Rio Hotel & Casino is celebrating the opening of its newly reimagined race and sportsbook powered by William Hill, welcoming guests to a completely renovated space designed to bring them closer to the action. Featuring all-new screens, an upgraded sound system, club-level seating and a fully renovated adjacent bar, the refreshed venue offers sports and racing fans a new setting to watch, wager and enjoy their favorite events.
The approximately 3,400-square-foot sportsbook offers expanded wagering options through 12 William Hill self-service wagering kiosks and eight racing carrels with individually controlled screens. Upgraded seating for more than 100 sports fans is complemented by large, reconfigurable LED displays that can be adjusted to suit any sporting event. The adjacent, approximately 1,400-square-foot sportsbook bar extends the experience with additional seating for more than 70 guests, a new oval screen installed above the bar and additional bar-top gaming options.
“The reopening of our renovated sportsbook by William Hill marks another exciting milestone in the ongoing evolution of Rio,” said Rod Turlan, President of Rio Hotel & Casino. “We set out to create a modern, high-energy environment where fans can enjoy cutting-edge viewing technology, elevated comfort and exceptional service. From the dynamic LED displays and dedicated VIP lounge areas to the completely renovated bar, every detail was intentionally designed to deliver an unforgettable experience for our guests.”
A new sound system complements the enhanced viewing experience. Two VIP lounge areas feature sectional seating and dedicated televisions, providing additional comfort for guests following all the action. New seating, carpeting and wall finishes refresh the sportsbook from floor to ceiling.
“William Hill remains an important part of our business in Nevada, and we’re proud to work with our partners at Rio on this renovated race and sportsbook,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital. “There’s nothing like spending an afternoon at a great race and sportsbook, whether you’re following the races or watching the games. This space stays true to what fans expect from William Hill while giving them a more modern, comfortable setting to enjoy both.”
Together, the reimagined sportsbook and renovated bar create a connected destination for guests to gather for sports and racing, pairing William Hill sports wagering with enhanced viewing technology and refreshed surroundings at Rio Hotel & Casino. Sports fans can also sign up for the market-leading William Hill Nevada mobile app at the sportsbook to place wagers throughout Nevada and make convenient mobile account deposits and withdrawals on-site.
