Further down the Strip towards Downtown Las Vegas lies one of the city's golden oldies - the Riviera Hotel Casino. For years this casino has featured fantastic gaming value, with Funbook coupons giving you everything from free slot machine pulls to blackjack and roulette real-money bonuses. Away from the gaming floor there's a comedy club and one of the hottest shows on the Strip, the stage spectacular Splash, that will keep your attention riveted. Tennis courts, a fitness center, and fine dining round out some of the Riviera Hotel's other great offerings.
Today, five towers with 2,075 rooms, including 156 suites and petite suites, one- and two-bedroom penthouses and a honeymoon suite offer guests affordable, comfortable accommodations. This historic hotel opened with Liberace in its showroom and continues its tradition of offering great entertainment by featuring four shows with something for everyone. A music-and-dance stage spectacular, "Splash," features beautiful showgirls, sultry dancers and top specialty acts. The scintillating women of "Crazy Girls" perform sizzling cabaret numbers. "An Evening at La Cage" - starring Frank Marino as Joan Rivers - features accomplished female impersonators. The Riviera Comedy Club hosts headlining comedians, ventriloquists, hypnotists and shock comedians. The entertainment spills out onto the casino floor in Le Bistro Bar and Theatre - a throwback to the New York nightclubs of the 1930s, featuring "Barbara and Frank: The Concert That Never Was," "America's Tribute to Neil Diamond" and Dr. Scott Lewis's Twisted Mind Reading and Comedy Hypnosis Show.
Without "elbow-to-elbow" overcrowding, the 100,000-square-foot casino has reel slots and video games, table games, a VIP slot area, keno, bingo and a complete race and sports book.Dining options include Ristorante Italiano, Kristofer's Steakhouse, Kady's Coffee Shop, and the World's Fare Buffet with its weekend champagne brunch.
