Are there any casinos in Rio de Janiero?
Also, we will be there April 11 through April 15, and would like to see a soccer match. Are there any good matches scheduled? If so, how do I get tickets, and will the venue be safe for tourists? Thanks

As far as I know, casinos are forbidden in Brazil...!
But I'm not sure. hehe.
All I know is that I DON'T know of any casino anywhere in Brazil! =)
But have a nice trip, there are lots of interesting things to do there and you won't miss a casino!
Guedes is right. Brazil banned casino gambling in 1945.
If any soccer matches are scheduled, the travel or desk clerk at your hotel will be able to get you tickets. With normal precautions -- taking taxis at night, for example -- you shouldn't have any problems.
Thanks to both of you for your quick replies.
Soccer: Well, the Brazilian Championship (Serie A) doesn't start before Saturday April 23rd.
However the 3rd round of the Brazilian 'Copa do Brasil' takes place on April 13 though it's not yet known whether a team from Rio will qualify because the 2nd round will first have to be played on 6/7 April.
I have been to Rio many times as a corporate pilot. To be real honest, I have traveled all over the world as a pilot. Rio is one place that I tell people that I would never go back to. If you like South America, I would go to Cuzco Peru, or Manaus Brazil and see the Amazon. I think Rio is too dangerous and not worth the money you would spend to do it. I met a British couple in Rio who were robbed on the beach. The sad part is that they had saved up for five years to go there. If you do go, please send me an email and let me know how your trip went.

I've been to Rio six times since 1998. I've walked on Copacabana Beach (sidewalks, both sides) late at night; I've strolled all over Santa Teresa as well as the inland streets and avenues on Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon, both in the day and at night; and I've taken public transport (buses and subway as well as taxis) all over the city. I've never had a bit of trouble.
In fact, the only place I've had anything bad happen was in Salvador da Bahia. I was violently mugged and robbed -- because I foolishly wandered into a rough area when looking, at night, for a restaurant.
