With it's glass, star-lit exterior, visitors can't miss the Riviera when driving down the Strip. As the first high-rise to open on the Las Vegas Strip, with it's 9-story hotel, the Riviera has seen over 50 years as an entertainment destination in Las Vegas. Top bill acts like Liberace, Dean Martin and the long running Splash revue (closed in 2006) have graced its showrooms over time.

The Riviera still offers its share of entertainment options with topless revue "Crazy Girls," Neil Diamond's greatest hits at "A Neil Diamond Tribute Show," and some of Russia's greatest performers take the ice at "ICE - Direct from Russia"

The 100,000-square foot casino has been featured in many films like "Casino," "Austin Powers" and "21." Although the hotel has passed through a long list of owners over the years it has always held on to it's unique theme (for Las Vegas) in that it lacks any particular theme.

The Riviera has dining options well covered, from seafood and steaks at Kristofer's to Italian cuisine at Ristorante Italiano to the champagne brunch at World's Fare Buffet.
