Former WSOP Host Venue, Rio, Transitioning Away from Caesars Entertainment

Dreamscape Companies LLC will officially take over the operational duties of the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino from Caesars Entertainment on Oct. 2.

The iconic Las Vegas resort, which has certainly seen better days, hosted the World Series of Poker (WSOP) from 2005-2021. In 2022, the series moved to the Strip for the first time at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas, both Caesars properties. Earlier this year, Bally's rebranded as Horseshoe Las Vegas, still under Caesars ownership.
