The first high-rise casino on the Las Vegas Strip with a nine-story tower, the Riviera hotel and casino celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Today, five towers with 2,075 rooms, including 156 suites and petite suites, one- and two-bedroom penthouses and a honeymoon suite offer guests affordable, comfortable accommodations, conveniently located between the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas. This historic hotel opened with Liberace in its showroom and continues its tradition of offering great entertainment by featuring four shows with something for everyone. A music-and-dance stage spectacular, "Splash," features beautiful showgirls, sultry dancers and top specialty acts. The scintillating women of "Crazy Girls" perform sizzling cabaret numbers. "An Evening at La Cage" - starring Frank Marino as Joan Rivers - features accomplished female impersonators. The Riviera Comedy Club hosts headlining comedians, ventriloquists, hypnotists and shock comedians. The entertainment spills out onto the casino floor in Le Bistro Bar and Theatre - a throwback to the New York nightclubs of the 1930s, featuring "Barbara and Frank: The Concert That Never Was," "America's Tribute to Neil Diamond" and Dr. Scott Lewis's Twisted Mind Reading and Comedy Hypnosis Show. Without "elbow-to-elbow" overcrowding, the 100,000-square-foot casino has reel slots and video games, table games, a VIP slot area, keno, bingo and a complete race and sports book.
