Stayed at the Riviera four times, and LOVE IT. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The casino is a lot of fun. Going back on 9/19/2008

I was looking for a less expensive hotel for a return trip to Las Vegas and I thought the Riviera would be suitable for the price. I was totally wrong. We arrived to find our room not ready, so they took our bags up there anyway and told us to come back in an hour. We came back two hours later and found our room still not even touched. Their only solution was to transfer us to a smoking room that looked even worse, with no accomodations for our inconvenience. The carpets were stained, the walls were marked, and the bathroom was disgusting. Worst of all, the customer service was terrible. The front desk was unhelpful and rude. The cleaning staff was just as bad, leaving food trays in the halls for over twelve hours and not cleaning our rooms until late in the afternoon. I have even stayed at the Westward Ho before and it was better than this. You would be better off staying at the rubble that used to be the Stardust and getting service from the guys that hand out pornographic cards on the strip.

Great fun, clean place to stay on the strip. Rooms were just remodeled, clean, although plain - but you won't be in them for very long! Great shows- good food, and one large casino to keep you mesmerized for hours! Give it a try!

The nicest part of the Rivera was leaving. The staff at the checkin counter were rude. The non-smoking rooms were not available as promised. Gross bathrooms, black mold in every corner. The chair had been removed from the room nowhere to sit except the bed. View? what view? looked out onto the exhaust vents, NICE. Dazzle gift shop, didn't even bother to open Saturday, staff at the check out counter clueless. Would I stay there again? Not in this lifetime. And I am being kind!!!!

Our room was comfortable and clean, with a great view of Circus Circus and the mountains beyond. Ok it's basic, but who goes to Vegas to sit in a hotel room? Great location for the strip and Downtown as well - we're coming back in 2005! E&B xx

Both of us got lost in the Riviera just about every night we stayed there. The place is huge, and the floor layout of the main building is nonsensical. However, everyone was nice about helping us find our way. The room is clean, but it isn't fancy. The bathroom floors can be very slippery...use caution there. The pool is very large, clean, and has a lifeguard on duty, but closes early. However, because the staff is so nice, I give this hotel an 8.

Rooms are basic, comfortable and clean. We arrived early in the morning, and were given keys to our room although it hadn't been cleaned yet. It was nice to be able to take our bags up immediately. We requested a room with a refrigerator, and got it for no extra charge. Maid service was exemplary. As members of the slot club, we get very good room rate offers, and a Casino Host discounted those rates even more at the end of our stay.

Stayed April 3-6. Decent hotel. Quite aged. Yet has many advantages such as location. For the price, not a bad deal.

We were treated great. And we go back at least once a year. We take advantage of the free slot tournaments. And our rooms being reasonable.Never paying more than 20.00 dollars a night.

Decent deal for the money.

Have stayed many times at the Riv, only quite tower is the Monte Carlo, other towers have paper thin walls and I don't enjoy listening to other guests. Bathrooms are a joke, too little and too dark. We stay here when no where else is available, the casino is old but loose, tournaments are a ball and the hosts are mostly friendly.

Our first time in Las Vegas (9-01). Check-in on Labor Day Sunday was smooth, although taking 30 minutes which was shorter than we had been led to believe. We were charged a $4.61 "reservation fee" which our travel agent had said nothing about. Baggage service was extremely punctual and friendly. Room was larger than some, and clean. Better than expected for a 46 year old operation. Bathroom was too small and had no place to set anything. Small makeup area outside bathroom was too dark to use. Elevators extremely efficient. Would stay here again due to value and location.

We have stayed at the Riv several times. This time there were no rooms available for our dates, so we stayed elsewhere. We will not do that again. The Riv is very friendly and the slots club is very good. The hotel will accommodate in anyway they can to make guests welcome and comfortable. The other places we have stayed do not understand that we are the customer and they need to be friendly and helpful to get return business. The Riv understands this. Has our loyalty.

Not a bad hotel, just a little long in the tooth. Quickly becoming a dinosaur in a city where anything older than ten years is ancient history. Staff were friendly enough. Food? I had a little too much drink to remember how good the food was. Thread bare in places, but for what I paid I can't complain. I liked the staff and would hope this hotel would rebuild or modernise.

Fairly freindly service. Rooms, and bathrooms are average. Nothing spectacular. Decent bargain.

Rooms are nice, but not spectacular. Clean, quiet, elevators fast. Room rate can change from very reasonable ($39) to outlandish ($110) overnite, seems more of a variation than others in the area.
