The operator of the off-Strip Rio hotel-casino property has confirmed it has laid off employees.
A representative of the company on Thursday indicated the layoffs were the result of a personnel adjustment that occurred after New York-based Dreamscape Cos. took over operations from former owner and manager Caesars Entertainment Inc.
The company did not specify how many employees were laid off and indicated some social media posts on the number were inaccurate. A notice of the layoffs also hadn’t been filed with the state as of Thursday afternoon.
“We proactively expanded our workforce while taking over operations from Caesars Entertainment in (the fourth quarter of) 2023,” an emailed statement from the company said.
