The Duomo is done.
The once-promising entertainment venue at the Rio is finished with live entertainment. The venue has pulled tickets to all of its shows from the Ticketmaster website.
Word from the hotel is Comedy Cellar is moving into the now-former Duomo annex. A restaurant is reportedly planned for the current Comedy Cellar space.
Room operator Damian Costa of Pompey Entertainment said Tuesday the Duomo was not in the hotel’s long-term plans. The Duomo project includes the Cupola Cafe Italian eatery and an ’80s-style video-game arcade.
“Sometimes these things force you into a what is probably a better situation, that you might not have considered,” Costa said Tuesday afternoon. “The Rio is going to be a beautiful place once they finish these transformations. But it’s time for The Duomo and Cupola Cafe to move on to their next phase.”
