Dated but Very Clean and other Las Vegas, NV Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

We stayed at the Riviera for 4 nights. It was convenient to the Las Vegas Convention Center - just walk out the back through the parking lot. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. I read some bad reviews of this hotel so I was a little apprehensive about having to stay here. My fears were unfounded. I also didn't win any money at the casino but my brother-in-law did!

Unique Qualities: At the free spin in the casion my husband won tickets to Riviera's big variety show - Splash. My husband wasn't expecting a very entertaining show until the lights went out and these beautiful topless women walked onto the runways directly in front of our table. From then on it was GREAT.

One night we went to The Comedy Club located in the hotel. Not too funny. It was a waste of our money.

The Riviera's sexy show is called Crazy Girls with topless dancers. We did not go to this show but in front of the hotel are bronze statues of the girls behinds. Each cheek is shiny because of the constant man-handling. Great photo-op.

After walking great distance up and down Las Vegas Blvd my feet were very sore so I decided to splurge on a pedicure at hotel beauty salon. The salon is old, dingy and in desperate need of a renevation. $60 for a spa pedicure was way overpriced for the surroundings. (My feet felt wonderful though!)

The pool is heated and even though we were there in November, people were swimming. I soaked my aching feet in the pool and lounged on the chairs in the sun for a while.

We didn't have a choice in which hotel we could stay in during our trip in 2003. My husbands company picked this one. After reading many iffy reviews about this hotel I armed myself with insider information on how to make the experience enjoyable. I changed our room from Garden to the Tower. These rooms are rumoured to be better. We were pleased! Old decore but clean and the view from our room looked out onto the strip - The Luxor beam of light, The Excalibure lighted turrets, New New York's towers and roller coaster.

The location is ideal and good value for the price. Because we were there for a convention the prices were higher than usual.

Unique Qualities: Even in November the gardens were pleasing to walk through.
