best las vegas casino hotels

A stay at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas takes you back in time to the early days of Vegas casino history. Flashback: The year is 1955. A group of ambitious Miami investors, inspired by the success of the eight other casino hotels on the strip, decided to build a ninth hotel. However, the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas would not be a mere copy cat of the other motor court type hotels. This nine story high rise would signify the beginning of an age of glitz and glamour in Las Vegas. The opening of Riviera Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada featured none other than the famous pianist Liberace, who would become the highest paid performer in Vegas history. Joan Crawford, of Mommy Dearest fame was the hostess of the opening ceremonies.
