What is there to add?
ROOMS
PLUS-Room in the Monaco Tower was clean, the bed comfortable, the water pressure fantastic, and a tub that drained quickly.
MINUS-My brother booked the conference rate....big mistake
CONFERENCE CENTER
PLUS-Lots of rooms and adaptable to the needs of our workshop
MINUS-Time warp to the '80s
CASINO
PLUS-The lights were on and the machines worked
MINUS-Dowdy, rundown, and stank of encrusted smoke
FOOD/OTHER SERVICES
PLUS-None (the lights were on)
Minus-Only went to the buffet for dinner. Better bet: exit the hotel and go to the Peppermill next door.
I'm not quite sure how the Riviera survives in the cut-throat environment of the Strip. They must get enough bus tours and conferences to keep the dollars flowing. It is convenient to Circus Circus and a short walk to the Wynn. If you are looking for an experience of the Strip today, keeping walking. If you want a cheap room in a run down hotel, the Riviera is the place for you.
