Riviera Las Vegas Hotel Review
By: Las Vegas Hotel Sleuth
The nostalgia of years gone by blends seamlessly with modern thrills at the beloved Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. Having just celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005, the Riviera welcomes visitors to experience a completely renovated beauty of a resort, confirming why this mainstay of the Strip has survived—and thrived—all these years.
Appearance
It’s been around since the heyday of the Rat Pack, and with its spectacular views and top-notch entertainment, the Riviera has hosted many a headliner and been the backdrop to many a famous Vegas film, including the original “Ocean’s 11 (1961) and “Casino.” The Riviera epitomizes Las Vegas glamour, no matter the era, and its food, gambling, and prime location bring back loyal visitors year after year.
Entertainment
Rooms at the Riviera are luxurious, spacious, and completely remodeled. They offer all the amenities you’d expect from an established resort like the Riviera—and you’ll love the spectacular views of the Strip!
There’s always a show going on at this resort that has housed just about every entertainer to pass through Vegas; current shows include the topless revue Crazy Girls, comedy at the Riviera Comedy Club, uproarious drag queen burlesque from An Evening At La Cage, and a tribute to the music of Neil Diamond starring the very talented Jay White. And, as if that wasn’t enough to do, the Riviera offers an arcade for young guests, a pool for visitors looking to escape the Vegas heat, and a Health Club and Spa to work off steam and relax.
Dining
Classic in its dining as well, the Riviera has always been a happening place to spot a celebrity and mingle with Vegas royalty. Enjoy the steaks at Kristofer's, the pasta at Ristorante Italiano, or just about anything you can imagine at the World's Fare Buffet; other dining options include Kady's, a Jitter's Gourmet Coffee stand, and a full food court.
Gambling
The 100,000 square-foot casino at the Riviera Hotel has probably seen more betting action than any other gambling joint in Sin City. Everything you love in a casino is here awaiting your wager— Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Keno, Slots, and more. There’s also a 35-seat Race and Sports Book featuring 11 TVs. Many have passed this way before, so head in, risk a few bucks, and maybe win the jackpot of a lifetime.
Personal & Business Events
You’ll want to bring this historic part of Las Vegas to everyone you know—or, you can bring them to it! The Riviera Hotel & Casino has its own Convention Center facilities, newly remodeled, that can accommodate virtually any event, large or gigantic.
With over 150,000 square feet of dedicated meeting space, including ballrooms, offices, skybox meeting rooms, and a 132-space underground parking facility below the new convention space, there really is no end to what the Riviera can do for your event. Oh—and they have a wedding chapel, too!
Rates
Old meets new at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, and when you drop a quarter in one of their Slots, you know you’re a part of a 50-year history. Rooms at the Riviera start at around $59 and run up to $159, with an average of about $99.
