Riviera Las Vegas

  

Riviera - 2901 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas NV 89109    1-800-634-6753

I've never stayed at the Riviera but have visited this property many times. The casino is huge with a pleasant atmosphere (not too crowded or noisy), there's a fast-food court at the south entrance to the property and a small video game arcade. If you like playing for nickels, the Riviera has an entire area devoted to nickel slots & video poker called "Nickel Town" (photo on the right.) I would feel kind of silly about winning a thousand nickels ($50) although many people will counter with the statement "money is money." Also, many casinos have converted to ticket payment instead of piles of coins. The slot machine prints you out a ticket that you can either cash in or feed to another slot machine instead of cash. I prefer the tickets but the majority of players seem to enjoy "feeling the money"; scooping hundreds of coins into little plastic buckets. The sound of coins dropping into the metal tray also adds to the casino atmosphere; although there is still plenty of noise coming from the machines when they're not spitting out coins. After a few days in Las Vegas, you'll find that silly slot machine electronic music playing back in your head for several days after you're back home.
