Perhaps no other hotel wears Las Vegas' crown as "The Entertainment
Capital Of The World" more proudly than the Riviera. Over the years, the hotel has played host to dozens of
film and television productions, including two of the most important Vegas films: the 1961 classic "Ocean's
11" and Martin Scorcese's recent "Casino." And in what may or may not be unprecedented excess, the
Riviera offers four seperate nightly shows, with up to 11 performances nightly.
Each show has its own unique character. "Splash" is one of the last
of the red-hot Sin City production shows. "Crazy Girls" is "Las Vegas' Sexiest Topless Revue",
and the The Riviera Comedy Club brings 4 nationally-known comics to the stage every night. And Norbert Aleman's
"An Evening At La Cage" is classic drag-queen burlesque, featuring Frank Marino as Joan Rivers.
The Riviera also has a number of lounges, including the renowned "Le Bistro"
based on New York's swank nightclubs of the 30's. Dining is well-covered by several distinct dining rooms, buffets
and coffee shops, and their 100,000 square foot casino floor is still one of Vegas' most active. If you came to
this budding "family" destination looking for Sin City, the Riviera is more than happy to oblige with
good-spirited panache.
