Presents themselves as cheap and on the strip, but it is not the good part of the strip and was very crusty. Stayed for 5 nights and I don't think I saw anyone there really happy. The crowd is older, the rooms were functioning fine, but VERY dusty and dirty. No good restaurants (but it is next to the Peppermill which is amazing). The thirty dollars we saved was lost to having to take cabs to get everywhere we wanted to go. It was a half hour walk to Bellagio/Ceasars area. If you do end up staying get the bus pass, but it takes about an hour to get from the Riviera to the other side of the strip. My recommendation would be to spring for the couple extra bucks and stay at a casino in the heart of the strip. Or if you are looking for value stay downtown at one of the Fremont Experience casinos.
