"what happened?"
5 or 6 years ago it used to be a great show. I aways brought my friends there from out of town to see it. Over the past few years, the show has stedily gone down hill. Don’t bother going now…it’s a waste of time.

"good times!"
been to vegas 4 times, have done the masquerade in the sky twice - meaning i’ve ridden in the floats! so as the other poster said, yes, you pay a fee (something like $20-25) and then they take you “backstage” - you meet some of the performers (everyone is really nice) and then you pick out a costume (they’re like ponchos you just slip over your head)….they may give you a tambourine to shake along your route….and of course BEADS to throw out to the crowd. it’s really something else!! well worth the money. (now to not get sold out!)

"Free...Beads please"
One of the very best FREE things to do in Las Vegas. For the first 15 minutes the dancers at the Rio give it all they have. Their performance is the equal to the many shows you pay afternoon Vegas prices to see. Along with the dancers, there are a variety of floats that swing by over the stage. We heard that you can actually pay a price to get a seat on one of the floats and be a part of the show. The performers throw out beaded necklaces during the show, always a treat for those that catch them. They run a show every half hour, but make sure to grab a good seat on the house because it’s situated around the casino and plenty of by-passers seem to bump into you from left to right. Great show, even greater price.

"Mardi Gras meets Vegas"
My husband and I spent an entire evening at the Rio during our week-long trip to Vegas and we were particularly impressed with the Parade in the Sky. It’s kind of like Mardi Gras, except the floats move along a track on the ceiling. There also are dancers and singers on a stage on the casino floor. Each show is a little bit different, but all are entertaining. I would say it’s probably the best free show in Vegas.
