Riviera Hotel and Casino

This casino is about to go the way of the Stardust. In it's day, Liberace and Frank Sinatra were headliners but when I first went in here 7 or 8 years back it gave me the creeps. I stayed there one night and I don't know if I was haunted by the ghost of hookers past or what but it was eerie.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! We booked our trip a month & a half in advance and didn't get one thing we reserved. We wanted two rooms, connected. Smok...

The place is old, but it is on the strip and it’s not in a bad location if you are trying to go to Vegas on a cheap budget this is a good ...

I've been to Las Vegas several times & have stayed at Monte Carlo, Caesar's, Lady Luck, & Luxor. The Riviera was the worst starting w/check in services & people to the time we checked out. I hope it gets blown away! The people were so unhelpful when we checked in w/my parents on their first visit to Vegas. I was actually told by the hotel clerk to check in w/someone else because it was 10min til she was off duty. I suggested she hurry then to check us in. Although we asked for non-smoking rooms they were already given away. We had to stay one nite in a smoking room then the next day we had to move. Very inconvenient. I feel the total layout of this hotel/casino is just awful. The restaurants avail on site were bad too, the main cafe was usually too crowded to stay & their snack bar was usually closed whenever we tried to get a hotdog. Roomservice was a 2hr wait. We tried their lunch buffet, the quality of the food reminded me of National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation scene where... Read more

This is an older hotel that has hung on. If you come by shuttle from the airport, they bring you to the back. Which looks like a tacky motel...

We stayed @ the Riviera for a weekend and we had a great time. The beds were OH-SO-COMFY after a 7 hour trip and they did everything they could to accomodate us after a very late arrival. The casino was cheaper than the other fancier ones along the strip and the drinks were decently priced. The only con I can find to this place is that it's a bit confusing to get from the parking structure to the hotel registration, but everything else was great.

So it isn't as fancy as the other end of the Strip, certainly, it is a bit older, both in clientele and environment, but we had fun sitting there playing blackjack. Most of the dealers were friendly, they had some entertainment going on right there in the casino. And yes, it was a little bit cheaper to play than at other places on the Strip.

In Short Still popular with its Golden Anniversary looming from 2005, this hotel is home to many entertainment options. There's also a great selection of facilities, such as two tennis courts lit for night play, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, men's and women's health spas and an arcade with high-tech video games. The five towers house 1,919 rooms and 156 suites. Depending on your room selection, you may find marble vanities, alcove studies, entertainment centers and/or panoramic city views.

In Short The one time home of the Improv in Las Vegas, the Riviera Hotel and Casino set up their own shop. Under its title, this 300-seat showroom has hosted the likes of Pauly Shore, Chris Rock, Brett Butler, John "Bizarre" Byner and Las Vegas' ever-affable son, Jimmy "J.J." Walker (or the artist formerly known as "Kid Dyn-o-mite"). This club has been known to alter the traditional format to make room for special events like a Bobcat Goldthwait performance.

We stay at the RIV at least once a year. For the money (join the slot club), you cannot do better. Not the fanciest, but it's as nice as the best Holiday Inn you ever stayed in and the staff are mostly the best, if not the youngest!!!! Tackey shows and an OK, new buffet. We stay & play........usually go elsewhere for shows (except headliners).

Our Bachelorette party didn't stay at the Riviera, but thought it would be fun to watch Men, the Show. I've been to the other male reviews (i.e. Chippendales and Thunder From Down Under) from previous visits to Sin City, but this show by far beats them all! I suggest getting the VIP seats to have the opportunity to get up close and personal if ya know what I mean! Devon and Rico were our party's faves! :) And the bonus, they take pictures and do signings at the end of the show! SO it is well worth what you spend! We ate at the Italian Eatery at the Riviera before the show and I can only say wonderful and delightful things about it! The gentlemen who served us were funny and to top it off, they served us free dessert! NOW that is what I call great service!

Old and tired.

I FOUND THE RIVIERA TO BE A GOOD VALUE AND TO HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ACCOMODATE LARGE CONVENTIONS/MEETINGS. THE CASINO WAS FUN, RESTAURANTS AND SHOWS ALL WORTH CATCHING. ROOMS WERE SLIGHTLY OUTDATED, BUT THE OVERALL SERVICE MADE UP FOR IT. I COULD SEE VISITING THEM AGAIN, AND FOR THE MOST PART I FOUND MY ENTIRE STAY VERY ENJOYABLE. THE CONVENTION WAS A SUCCESS TOO!

This place is great for catching up on a little R&R poolside or on your gambling skills in the casino. All the service we recieved was great. So I sent my parents there for a mini vacation, and they also enjoyed the service and quality of this hotel/casino.

The best seafood buffet in Las Vegas. Includes all you can eat lobster. Large Nickel Town slots (more than you'd expect in an upscale resort) for after-dinner fun. It's the hotel with the wall of lights as you drive by on the Strip.
