| - Good gawd, no...
The manfolk had received a call from a tour company named Casablanca Express. For $150, we could stay three nights in Vegas and receive some discounted meal/entertainment vouchers. We both own timeshares but thought "hey, it's $150 and it's Vegas, baby!". He asked them how they could offer such a low price and they said that The Riviera had gone through a remodel and they were wanting to show off the new accommodations.
I had checked Trip Advisor and noted the comments from other travelers. I thought that they were probably kind of snobby and "how bad could it be?".
Let me tell you how bad it could be. Our taxi dropped us off and upon entering the registration area, there were at least 30 people waiting in line. There were only four people available to assist the guests. We waited in line for 45 minutes. Note that there is NO where to sit and it would probably be impolite to sit on the ground with your suit case.
After getting to our room, I noted the two beds. Jokingly I stated that we each get our own bed. Then I noticed the size of the bed. They were full size beds! The only question the attendant had asked was smoking or non-smoking. We are not large people but at my age, I really prefer at least a queen size bed. Other than a few "special" times, we slept in separate beds. Very romantic!!
Then we get to the room itself. When we were told that the property had gone through a remodel, I would think that they would put us in one of the newer rooms. No, our room was circa 1975.
There was a sticker on the mirror in the bathroom that asked that we keep the staff safe and if we had any hypodermic needles to dispose of to ask housekeeping for assistance. Seriously?! There was a Dole banana sticker on the bathroom counter that was there when we arrived and was there when we left, even though housekeeping came in each morning. The cupboards under the sink wouldn't close.
The room was not clean. The window, that overlooked the pool, had mold/fungus in the windowsill. I wouldn't have noticed this except the drapes were falling off the hooks and I was trying to put them back up.
On one of our ventures out, I noticed a room service tray outside one of our neighboring rooms. The tray was there for more than 24 hours!
I know that we didn't pay much for this hotel stay. As I told the manfolk, if I make it out alive and without bed bugs, I'll consider it a blessing.
If you must stay here (why would you?!) ask for an updated room. Otherwise, contact housekeeping if you must dispose of your syringes.
Ugh.
