Rio Resort Skyfloat Show

I continue to hang out at the Rio checking out the site for the biggest event in Poker, the World Series of Poker Tournament. I’ve revisited some of my favorite eating places, visited with some old friends, made some new ones and shot a few photos of the Rio, the original Vegas party place. Today’s offering is a mini-gallery of Flipchip’s Nikon views of the Rio’s famous Sky Float light show. The place is the Rio’s Masquerade Casino or rather, high above the casino floor. The colorful sky rides and tracks were originally constructed for the Fremont Street Experience when a change in plans for downtown opted for the current light canopy and the floats were placed in storage. The builder of the Rio bought them from the city and they have been cruising high above the Rio’s Masquerade Casino ever since.

Check them out when you’re here at the Rio Resort for the 2007 WSOP. Flipchip’s photos of the free show after the jump…
