Although the Las Vegas Riviera Hotel is one of the oldest hotels on the Strip, the interior of the building has recently been modernised and the hotel has been awarded a three-diamond AAA rating. Despite this, the hotel is reasonably priced, making it one of the Strip's good value hotels.


  Attractions & Amenities

The Las Vegas Riviera Hotel is probably better suited to older tourists, who don't expect trendy or glitzy nightclubs. However, it is still packed with fun things to see and do, including:

  • Pamper yourself with a relaxing massage at the Aqua Massage Relaxation Station
  • Treat yourself to a hairstyle or beauty treatment at the hotel Beauty Salon
  • Visit the Arcade, where you can test your skills at a variety of arcade games

  • Dine in one of the hotel's restaurants or cafes - choose from fine gourmet dining, a quick snack, or the hotel buffet
  • Spend an evening of entertainment at one of the Las Vegas Riviera Hotel's top rated shows

Although the Las Vegas Riviera Hotel is old (it was first opened in 1955), the decor and furnishing are stylish and comfortable. As a minor point, you should be aware that there is an additional $3.50 energy surcharge per room per night. Also, you are required to pay a small charge if you want to use the hotel room safe.

  Location

The Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas is located in the Northern area of the Las Vegas Strip, opposite the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and is therefore a good walk or a short bus or cab ride to the main Las Vegas Strip tourist attractions. However, the Bus Duece, stops right in front of hotel, and so tranportation to the rest of the Strip is easy and convenient.
