The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas will open what it’s calling the “Ultimate Girls’ Night Out” destination, a retail and entertainment complex designed by women, for women.

The $7 million, 21,000 square-foot project, scheduled to open Dec. 27, 2004, will feature a 400-seat Chippendales Theater, retail boutique and ladies’ room with an exclusive gossip pit and mini-makeover stations.

“Our goal is to create a place where women feel comfortable,” said Marilyn Winn, senior vp and general manager for the Rio. “Women are curvy and the design of the complex follows suit … everything is smooth and curved with no hard edges or corners. The ladies’ room and gossip pit were designed with lighting that makes everyone look beautiful.”

A 2100-square-foot retail boutique will feature a variety of items that appeal to women, such as Chippendales merchandise, bachelorette party gear and makeup.
