In this video you can see me walking through the iconic Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.They opened on 20 april 1955, making it one of the oldest hotels on the strip.
A couple of months ago the Riviera announced that they will close on the 4th of may, too bad, although it's a bit smelly and old inside the Riv was seen in many famous movies like Ocean's 11 and 'Casino'. The new owner will built a new hotel as part of the convention center, which is located very close to the Riviera.
R.I.P. :(

My 20th HS reunion was there in 2012. I’m so happy I got to see it before it was destroyed 😢

@josephwoolf2332 Год назад

I miss the Riviera, it was my favorite hotel to stay at in Las Vegas!

@CewyahAlt 2 года назад

That looks beautiful and well kept on the inside such a shame it got imploded instead of repurposed.

@Alexrefreshed 11 месяцев назад

Oh Gosh thanks for uploading this video, it’s just came to my mind on searching for a walkthrough in the Riviera hotel and casino sure enough found this video. Probably the only walkthrough I could find on RU-vid and very last before it was sadly demolished 😢 miss this casino so many memories I had spending time with my grandma there ate and gambled there a lot. Rest in memory Riviera Hotel and Casino.

She was a grand old dame.....I enjoyed my time in " An Evening at La Cage" working with such a wonderful and talented cast....When I walked through the front doors or breathed the air during a performance all the greats were there with me I felt..... in my heart....it was quite remarkable......Bruno

RIP Riviera yout got us lot memories.

@TaliaIGhul 4 года назад

I've been to Vegas a few times in my life and I never took the time walking around inside this place. Thanks for this.

@CewyahAlt 2 года назад

Pretty much would've said the exact same thing on this video. ^_^

@BfDelano 5 лет назад

First time I was out to Vegas was 2014, and I stayed at the Riviera. Lots of very fond memories flooded back watching that walk.

@VegasinfoNl_YT 5 лет назад

It's a shame they tore it down. Wish I can visit the Riv again... :(

@LaurenHelene 9 лет назад

I was there in mid April for the NAB Show with my college class. My first and last time staying at the Riv. Made a lot of fond memories there.

@chrisgallet4202 3 года назад

we stayed at the Riviera on each of our dozen or so trips to Vegas. Thank you so much for letting us see it once more. Our last stay was a month before this video. The breakfast deal back in the food court was our first stop every morning. All the tattoos my wife got at 3 Lions. The countless trips in the ABC stores in there. Kady's Coffee Shop in the earlier years of our travels. The English pub. The Riv just offered a place that wasn't packed shoulder to shoulder, away from the craziness of Fremont. We watched the implosion of the Stardust from our window at the Riv. So many memories.

@vegasjill21 7 лет назад

Omigosh!!! Only ONE pit was open??? Sheesh. I hope it was GY shift when you were there... Thank you so much for the tour. You did a great job. It sure looks different to me...I left the Riv in late 2008 and haven't been back since. It is still so sad to see it gone...and all the people I worked with for nearly 20 years gone too!!! I have lots of great memories I'll always cherish..... Thanks again for the final tour. It's going straight into a "Vegas" playlist. :)

@VegasinfoNl_YT 7 лет назад

Thank you for the kind words vegasjill21. Yeah, it's really sad to see this place go. I loved this oldskool place with so many memories. Luckily I was able to shot some footage so it will always be remembered.

@samsclub18 3 месяца назад

Had the pleasure of walking around that iconic casino hotel back in 2012. Stayed across the street at Circus Circus. No Resorts World yet and had a perfect view of the Strip in the Skyrise Tower. Mirrors mirrors everywhere in the Riviera if i recall correctly 😅

@bobabooey4537 2 года назад

What a great video to bring back great memories, well done and thank you. The Riviera was the first place I stayed the first time I ever went to Vegas in 2014. It was so awesome and memorable and I remember so much of this walk through. I took the same walk many times. So much Vegas history, so many names, the movies etc.

@Grizz1yAdams 2 года назад

Same here, same time too! (We went in June 2014) I remembered this vividly too, the restaurant to the left on the way to the casino (or pool area if you go straight), hang a right instead and another right and there's the tattoo parlor (surprised it wasn't shown but you can see a glimpse of the sample art in the window). Wanted to get one there like the others in my group but wasn't sure what to get, too late to make that happen here at least. What an awesome trip then, and a great trip down memory lane now.

@davec2470 7 лет назад

Reminded me a lot of the Sahara, which I stayed at for new years 02/03 and I loved it! It's a real shame, the Stardust was the first to go during the ongoing implosions on the strip of old. Sadly it's due to the fact that there will be no one left to actually remember the LV of old, so I kind of understand why it's happening, even though I hate it!

@VegasinfoNl_YT 7 лет назад

Ohhh, the good old Sahara.... I miss that casino big time too. Luckily Circus Circus is keeping old Vegas alive but that place is a dump imo. Rather had Riviera still being there instead of Circus Circus!

@mikesadventures7620 6 лет назад

Vegas Info what's at the Site of Riviera now?

@VegasinfoNl_YT 5 лет назад

Nothing. It will be a convention center in the future someone told me.

@T_niD0610 2 года назад

I stayed here at Riviera back on September 1958, January 1962, June 1965, December 1967, March 1971, May 1973, April 1977, August 1983, February 1987, April 1993, October 1999, August 2004, July 2007, and my last time was January 2012

@davec2470 6 лет назад

Thank you for keeping this place alive! Bullshit, that they tore this place down. Should have stayed there, when I had the chance!!!!

@VegasinfoNl_YT 5 лет назад

Thank you for your nice comment Dace. Oh yes, they should have keeped this place. Too nostalgic to demolish it if you ask me.. :(

@Jana-TheCraftyGambler 2 года назад

Oh my gosh. This brings back a ton of memories! I would wake up really, really early to hit the craps tables and loved just playing alone. I would teak a break and hit the coffee shop and wait for my husband to wake up and come downstairs. I loved talking to the employees that had been there for decades. Lots of cool stories.

@OREO-pj8h 3 года назад

Ty for posting.. been going to Vegas since 1980 and loved the Riviera

@chevylandt.v 3 года назад

Would have been nice to stay there at least 2 or 3 times but my family stayed at the Excalibur. But I never knew about the Riv. Until 2 years after I found out it was gone.

@txwarrior50 7 лет назад

Thanks, I used to enjoy staying at the RIV. I miss it.

@VegasinfoNl_YT 7 лет назад

No problem Ancient Warrior, yeah I miss it too. Stayed there in '15 just before they closed. Very sad :(

@juniorr2434 8 лет назад

never been there... but growing up watch glow.. can't believe it's closed down..

@dariusthehedgehog180califo9 8 лет назад

This breaks my heart. 30 years from now Las Vegas as we know it will NOT exist just keep it up I hate the new casinos they suck. they imploded this beautiful magnificent exquisite building for a stupid convention center!!!!!!! this is the definition of retarded!!!!! unbelievable... this should be illegal this evil man behind this should be thrown in the implosion this makes me absolutely sick this should have been PRESERVED. It's so infuriating . ONLY Las Vegas dose this!!!! California and other states have things from the 1800's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we can't even keep something from the 1990's!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable.... for a Blank convention center wow.......... Unbelievable this is immoral. R.I.P. Riviera will miss you every day. 1955-2016

@VegasinfoNl_YT 8 лет назад

I totally agree with you Darius! Thank you for your opinion. It's the same for the Sahara hotel which was great and is now called SLS which sucks real bad.

@pigo6821 4 года назад

I mean you can’t run a old hotel when none is coming in

@maikeliRAIWALUI 4 года назад

The reason why it closed was the demoliton of the stardust, desert inn and frontier caused it to fall into decline

@Kawmanuwa 8 лет назад

I stayed at the Stardust back in the 90's and I'd walk over to the Riviera sports book to check their spreads and I'd watch a game there from time to time. Also eat at their food court that was right near the entrance closest to the Stardust.

@ramiro78380 8 лет назад

@lwbbcg3845 8 лет назад

haha, was that a lady of the night at the start?? i miss the sounds of the casinos 20 years ago, it will never leave my brain, nor will the layer of cig smoke keeping my chest like a rock all these years! haha, no offense, i was playing smokers, its just that the smell of cigs(and seeing those cool cig vending machines) coins falling into the tray when a winner winner winner was stiking rich, the buckets you always have to pack your 65 lbs of coin around... ahhhhh, the good ol days. sad that it had to go. old vegas will always be the best.

@VegasinfoNl_YT 8 лет назад

Lol Jenni, nice story. Good old days indeed. You might want to go to the Four Queens, great atmosphere!

@texasboykc09 6 лет назад

I remember reading that this place closed down due to not enough people were coming and they were not making enough money. It was thought that the closure of Stardust and New Frontier and all the construction in the area declined the foot traffic to the Riviera. It looked like it was a nice resort to go to.

@VegasinfoNl_YT 5 лет назад

The Riviera should not have been demolished in the first place. Too bad it's gone now :(

@lwbbcg3845 8 лет назад

p.s. i alwasy wondered where does this AWESOME carpet go when this happens??? that shit is and always has been legit.

@Brauiz90 5 лет назад

only 60 years. This casino sure was in great condition when it was closed for a parking lot... those fools who decided that - this casino could have made it up to 100 years.

@VegasinfoNl_YT 5 лет назад

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Wish I could visit the casino again :'(

@novidsheremovealong1893 8 лет назад

That song is eriee to hear now knowing about the suicide that happened a few months before the riviera was knocked down

@dariusthehedgehog180califo9 7 лет назад

I could sense in this place you were not alone there were spirits that they were having a good time. even ghost hunters Zach had the same sense. she was possessed.

@jordanvu1274 8 лет назад

why did they demolished it?

@JohnJano 8 лет назад

That was my question. But when you have all the money in the world, I guess you just waste everything!

@VegasinfoNl_YT 8 лет назад

To make room for a big conference center. I know, it's for a stupid reason :(

@StrawberryCream78 7 лет назад

who bought all the slots machines?

@TackyFlamingo 4 года назад

Anybody really. They had a sale to strip literally everything out. If you could remove it, it was yours. You could have a light fixture, bedding, vacuum... anything.. Update: I recently heard that the D has their machines

@MrJeffy45 8 лет назад

I stay there! I think I was 310 it was in the corner. Not a bad place to stay,. Circus Circus will probably be the next old hotel to go! How much was that camera???

@VegasinfoNl_YT 8 лет назад

Cool! I stayed there as well in 2015. RIP :( Which camera are you talking about MrJeffy? Mine? I used a GoPro to shoot this video and it costs a couple of hundred dollars... lol :)

@MrJeffy45 8 лет назад

***** So Gopro put out 4K video??

@VegasinfoNl_YT 8 лет назад

Yeah!

@user-hk4hn2tv4o 2 месяца назад

Well the Trop ended up being the next to go. Circus Circus is a tough old joint. Owned by Phil Ruffin and not the corps so it plays by different rules. He makes big money from the parking lot adjacent for concerts too. Bally’s bought the Tropicana and wanted it gone so that sealed its fate sadly 😔

@NerdismOfficial 4 года назад

Don’t be fooled by how nice the place looks in this video, the Riviera was sorta dumpy in its final years. Read some Google reviews and you’ll see what I mean.

@Kelly-tj8xv Год назад

When they were about to tear down the building, where did they relocate the hundreds of slot machines and tables? What is left before a casino is demolished?

@estevez4832 2 года назад

This is where the De Niro movie Casino was shot.

@Kelly-tj8xv Год назад

How is this so clear? I saw the video of the last day at the Stardust, and the video was so blurry that it was practically unwatchable.

That is really sad to see this hotel go. I really wish they would stop distroying beautiful hotels just to put up new ones. It seems like such a waste. ;(

@chevylandt.v 3 года назад

So true I find it disturbing to get rid of old ones it's like they are a historical building.
