Rio, and age...again

[Havocide]

I've been told to contact the RIO. To comfirm whether they will let me stay because im 19. I already booked as SOE guys said it should be ok due to the Fanfaire. But was told to ring and check. Im from England. An have no idea how to dial american numbers. If anyone could check this out for me, I would really appriecated it. Or at least help me by showing me what to dial. Thanks all.

Not sure if this helps but: To make an international call from Britain, dial the international access code (00), then the country code, then the area code, and finally the local number. Or call through one of the following long-distance access codes: <b>AT&T USA Direct (tel. 0800/890-011)</b>, <b>Canada Direct</b> <b>(tel. 0800/890-016)</b>, <b>Australia (tel. 0800/890-061)</b>, and <b>New Zealand (tel. 0800/890-064)</b>. Common country codes are: USA and Canada, <b>1</b>; Australia, <b>61</b>; New Zealand, <b>64</b>; South Africa, <b>27</b>. Good luck

Or, if you're using a mobile phone, hold the button with the + sign on it. Usually this is the 0. + is replaced by the international access code (Which is different in some countries).

<p>From the Rio Knowledge base...</p> <p>You must be at least 21 years of age to make reservations for the hotel.  The minimum age to gamble or drink alcoholic beverages is 21. Minors are not allowed to stand next to slot machines or table games, but they may walk through the casino.</p><p>I think that's standard for any hotel in Vegas that has a casino attached. You're going to need to look for a non-casino hotel nearby (Motel 6, Comfort Inn, Marriott properties etc. Or you need to find an older friend that will take your room under his/her name.</p>

[Havocide]

Blasted rules etc. Im having to re-organise. Gotta book one of the other hotels. Its pathetic. But oh well. Thanks for your help.

Don't quote me on this, but my <b>guess </b>is that 21 will be the age that most casino/hotel combos will require. The earlier suggestion of a non-casino hotel should probably work though. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>Hi Havocide, </p><p>I responded to your PM, but just in case you didn't get it here is what I found out from the folks on Tripadvisor.com. They spend their lives planning trips to Vegas and going there ALL the time so I do trust their answers.</p><p>Their reply was this: Tropicana, Luxor, or Riviera as they allow 18 and up to go. Also try the Gold Coast which is right across from the Rio, but they might have changed the policy on this hotel so give them a ring first. Prices are cheaper too.  I hope this helps.</p>

[Havocide]

Gold Coast did say 21 aswell. Im waiting on <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/user/profile.m?user_id=156" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raijinn</a>, to get back to me. He said hes gonna speak with the coordinator or something. *shrugs*

<p>Let me have a talk with my Mother in Law. She works marketing for Harrah's Entertainment. I'll see if I can get a direct answer from here when she comes over today. </p><p>I think the 21 rule has to do with Mini-Bars. But I will find out.</p>

[Igie]

Yes the age is restricted to 21 and older. However, if you have already booked the room and they have taken any money for it they have to give you the room.

[Havocide]

Not true, they can turn you away. They take ID.

I've got a Guildmate who's interested in sharing a room. He's a college student over 21. Maybe you can stay together. I've PM'd you his email.
