The agreement will renovate the former Caesars property, and turn it into multiple Hyatt hotel towers. The redevelopment will include more than 2,510 rooms at the Rio, the gaming floor, retail options, food and beverage locations, spa and fitness, and more. The resort opened in 1990 and in 2005, the WSOP moved from Binion’s Horseshoe Casino to Rio.
