The Riviera Hotel and Casino is located on the Strip and approximately five miles from McCarran International Airport. Local attractions include downtown Las Vegas, approximately three miles away, and the Hoover Dam, located 33 miles from the property.
Our first trip to Las Vegas and was booked in at the riviera. The check in was long and we had a hard time finding the registration desk upon arrival. The room was nice, clean. We had a nice time in the casino and didn’t take long to find our way around. Now that we know some things we would probably not stay at the riviera again mainly because we would like to see if we would have a better experience at another hotel/casino in the future.

"a good value for a strip "resort" hotel"
This is a good “value” resort. it’s old but big and well kept.it has plenty of shows, plenty of decent restaurants from a fast food court to higher-end places.the casino is uncrowded. it is currently isolated on the northern fringe of the strip so you wanderers need a car or enjoy walking or using the bus.at least the property is not set back from l.v.blvd. so you are only a few steps from the sidewalk.a plus for Catholics is a short walk to the cathedral.

"Not bad, but not great either"
This hotel was built in 1955 and it doesn’t look like they have done any updates since then, the rooms are not that great and are in need of a big face lift, the staff was kinda rude also, which didn’t go over well with my wife at all. The casino was nothing to talk about and the food was just average. If your looking for a romantic get-a-way, this isn’t the place for it, noisy also, needless to say we won’t be going back to the Riv anytime soon.
