Masquerade Show in the Sky

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

The Masquerade Show in the Sky is a free show offered by the Rio Hotel. It's advertised as one of the best free shows on the strip, but that's certainly not the case.

The Rio Hotel is located off the strip, so if you really want to see this show, you will need to either drive, or take one of the free shuttle buses from Caesars Palace, Ballys, or Harrahs.

The show is definitely targeted at children, and is a waste of time for anyone else. During the show, there is a small dancing act on the main stage, and a few floats move around the track on the ceiling. The floats have people on them that throw beads to people watching the show. The floats are advertised as the big attraction, but there were only about 3 or 4 floats. Apparently they change each show, but we did not stick around for another show.
