Located in Rio's Masquerade Village, the show features state-of- the-art floats that suspend from the ceiling and parade above the casino floor. Three themed parades are performed throughout the day: Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Carnivale in Venice, and Carnivale in Rio. Guests may take part in the parade by riding floats, and wearing costumes unique to each parade (for a fee). The show is free to the public and is performed every 2 hours from 2:00pm to midnight dailt except Wednesdays.

Lots of fun to see all the floats up in the sky. Colorful, musical not to mention the scantily clad babes on the floats. Lots of stuff on the floor too including an energetic floor show on the stage. Don't miss it. Many times a day so if you miss one show hang around and another one isn't far behind.

Good free show. Lots and lots of activity everywhere. Plenty of action for everyone to see. Get there early and find a second story railing in front of the shops for the best view.

THE BEST free show in Vegas! It's great, I'd pay for it, you get beads and everything, the music and dancing, oh, if you're in Vegas come here, but come early, don't expect to get a good veiw if you come right or even ten minutes before it starts. Great for kids too!

This is A good free one. The more you jump up and down, and yell. The more beads they toss you. At least you don't have to take off you shirt, but it looked like some of the people watching where getting excited enough consider it. Times as of 10/04 were 3,4,5,6:30, 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30. 7 days A week. The shows are pretty much alike, just different themes and costumes.

This is by far the best free show in Vegas. For a small fee, you can ride in the floats, which we've done on previous visits. Always a lot of fun and makes you feel like you're part of a big party in a safe and fun atmosphere.

This is something we look forward to doing every trip. Since Ti ruined the Pirate Battle, this is our favorite free show. I leave this show feeling energized every time.

Be sure to hang around a while and check out the Bev-Ertainers who stop serving drinks once in a while to perform song and dance numbers around the casino. Between the two, it creates a real party atmosphere.

The parade in the sky was wonderful! We bought tickets to participate and had a fun time riding the floats. The tickets to ride were very cheap, and well worth the money. What a fun show!

Hey, it's free and quite amazing. You really only have to see one performance because the floats don't change. The only hazard is the chance of getting clobbered by some jerk diving for free beads.

This is a must see. I wasn't sure why they called it Parade in the Sky, but I soon found out. The floats glide across the ceiling on a track. The floats were all beautiful and I was entertained by the male and female dancers on stage. They were very talented and energetic. This was definitely a fun experience.

This was awsome!! My Best friend and I paid $10 each to ride on one of the floats. It was fun goin back stage and hanging with the dancers. It was disappointing becasue all we got to where were headbands for a brazilian hippy theme???? Never the less, if you tell the dancers where your friends are they will throw beads to them. My boyfriend ended up with so many beads that I got to have of course!!! Totally worth $10 bucks!!!

This is the best free show that I have seen in Las Vegas. It is high energy and really gets everyone in a Las Vegas mood. The Rio itself is just a feel-good place and this show is one of the major reasons. If you want a true "Las Vegas experience" it is a must.

All I can say is "THROW MORE BEADS!" The parade was high energy and colorful. The kids just wanted to catch the beads. We stayed at the Rio and saw the Parade 5 times in 3 days. We did get our share of beads!

A bit over-the-top, we thought, but one of those things you should really
see for yourself in Vegas.

Good entertainment value! (can't beat free!) Unlike many other free shows in Las Vegas, we didn't have to fight a huge crowd. There were plenty of people but the set up is done well so that people are not falling over one another to get a good view. Love the beads!! Felt like a kid.

Loud and raucous...I'm surprised that the ladies don't lift their tops for beads (I was tempted, but I caught a strand anyway!!!). Lots of fun, very unique. You can get out all your scream therapy inhibitions here.
