Riviera report

#1

I stayed at the Riviera, located near Las Vegas, for 4 nights using
the Gambler's Spree program. Once you qualify by playing $9600 total
on VP (you can play $9600 one day and none the other 3 or any
combination you want) you receive a $40 room rate exempt from the
energy surcharge, $100 cash, 3 show tickets, including Splash, 3
buffets per day, $100 misc. credit, and $25 bar tab at the Le Bistro
Bar. Their VP inventory includes 4 quarter 10/7/80 DB, lots of 9/6
JOB(yawn)in quarters and $. Their are also a lot of 9/7 DB in
quarters and $.

Buffet...they must have improved it recently as it was quite good, not
just fair as I was led to believe.
Kristofer's...a good place to splurge using your $100 misc. credit
La Cage...very good but you might want to upgrade to VIP seats. We
didn't and some had trouble seeing.
Splash...we all liked it so much we would go again. However we
upgraded to VIP seats ($19) and that may have influenced our opinion a
little.
Employees...this was almost without exception the friendliest group of
employees I've ever run into in a casino.
Rooms...Monte Carlo Tower is best from my point of view. Alomst no
light leaks in thru the drapes and the A/C is quiet. Beds are King
and 2 Double, but the Doubles are extra long.

The addition of 9/6 JOB is certainly an upgrade at the Riviera.
Last year they only had one 9/6 JOB machine.

The last time I was at the Riviera my wife and I were constantly
hassled by time share people. I asked for the Monte Carlo tower and
was stuck in the Mediterranean. That tower is awful with ciggarette
burns and barely any bedding.

Beware of some of the rooms at the Riv.
