2016 Summer Olympics in Rio-Welcome to Hell.

[Why Not?]

So, a few years ago the wife and I decided it would be cool to take the kids to an Olympics, so we stared a "Rio" fund. Late 2014, we ran into some natives of Brazil who said "under no circumstances should you take your children anywhere near that city". So instead, her and I took a nice trip to the Rio in Vegas during May of 2015 instead. Lost a grand at the tables and got bed bugs from the hotel and still feel like we got the much better end of the deal.

That sounds awful but at least your family members didn't get Zika.

That's what I'm sayin.


Ultimately we were able to eradicate the bed bugs for about $1500. Got off way lucky there, from what I've heard.

I stayed at the Rio when it was brand new. Beautiful hotel, shitty service,and we had to walk a mile from our room to the elevators every time we wanted to leave. Terrible layout.

The dealers were not friendly but pulled $500 off the craps table there. Would not go back.

They should have a couple of floors where the room are $10 a night, but they're 40 square feet and never get cleaned. Call them the Favela floors.
