Rio offers guests chance to win a new Las Vegas home

2 November 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- In Las Vegas, the house usually wins but at Rio Hotel & Casino starting 1 November, one lucky guest will win the house. Launching next month, “Giving Away the House” is Rio’s biggest promotion ever, with its $500,000 Win A House promotion and its grand prize worth coming home to: a newly built Lennar home in the Las Vegas Valley valued at approximately $400,000.

Forget the souvenir. This Vegas story could end with a new address.

The excitement starts with eight biweekly Free Play drawings and builds to a 6 March grand finale, when one Rio Rewards member will go from dreaming about a new home to holding the keys.

“It is a one-of-a-kind giveaway that guests will not find anywhere else on or off the Strip, and it embodies the kind of life-changing experiences that can only happen at Rio,” said Rod Turlan, President of Rio Hotel & Casino. “Handing a guest the keys to a brand-new home is the kind of bold, unmatched energy that defines Rio.”

Before the keys change hands, there’s plenty of winning to do. Drawings will take place at 6 p.m. at Lapa Lounge on 14 and 28 November 2026; 12 and 26 December 2026; 9 and 23 January 2027; and 6 and 20 February 2027. Each drawing will award a total of $1,000 in Free Play to five winners.

Then comes the ultimate house party. On 6 March 2027, at 6 p.m., the Rio Event Stage will host the grand-prize drawing, putting the keys to a new Lennar home into the hands of one lucky Rio Rewards member. Four additional winners will receive Free Play prizes of $10,000, $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000.

At Rio, “Giving Away the House” isn’t just a figure of speech. It’s the main event.

All Rio Rewards members receive one entry into the “Giving Away the House” promotion. Participants must be 21 or older, have a Rio Rewards account and present valid identification. To be eligible for any drawing, guests must activate their entries at a Rio Rewards promotional kiosk between 3 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. on that drawing date. Complete official rules and eligibility details are available at the Rio Rewards desk inside the cashier cage.
