History
Rio Casino Resort was opened in May 2002[2] as "Tusk Rio Casino Resort". In August 2006, Peermont Global acquired Tusk Resorts,[7] renaming the property as "Rio Casino Resort". The acquisition of the property was made to realize a substantial increase in casino gaming and improve lodging on land where the company held gaming licenses.[8] Shortly thereafter, a new Peermont Metcourt Rio Hotel was built adjacent to the resort along with a new convention center, Peermont's first in the area, with only one other lodging facility offering such conference facilities.[9] It is the largest casino on the African continent at just over 266,000 sq. feet.[10]
