The hotel will only accommodate weekend stays, Thursday through Monday, according to the company, except for the period between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3.

The casino floor will be open seven days a week as will some restaurants and lounges as well as the sportsbook.

Rio is the last of Caesars' properties in the U.S. to reopen after all gaming shut down in mid-March as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We recognize the incredible effort it has taken to reopen our resorts and get us to this important milestone, and we look forward to welcoming our Team Members and Guests back to Rio with their health and safety still top of mind," Caesars president and chief operating officer Anthony Carano said in a press release.

Magicians Penn & Teller will also resume performances.
