Visitors to the Rio Hotel and Casino can now handle reservations and resort requests directly through ChatGPT. The new service, launched this week, is powered by the AI platform Traversing.ai and utilizes Model Context Protocol technology.

The resort integrated this platform to consolidate service requests into a unified intelligence layer across voice, web chat, and SMS. By meeting guests on existing AI platforms, the property aims to streamline operations and deliver more personalized service.
The Rio manages a 117,000-square-foot casino floor and 220,000 square feet of convention space, now serviced by the new AI interface. The property features 1,500 newly remodeled suites among its 2,500 total guestrooms.
