A King Suite at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas
We felt like we stepped through the door and were transported back to “The Day”

The Living Room.
Imagine members of the Rat Pack just lounging around.
The double doors on the left lead to the bedroom, begging to be flung open… movie style… revealing a scantily clad blond luxuriating on the king size bed.
On the far right you can see one of the room airconditioners that replaced the old central heat and air.

Dean Martin standing behind the bar mixing you a whatever to drink.

And four guys smokin’ big cigars, dealing a few hands or maybe closing a big deal.

The Powder Room… Blond, hair, blue eyes, filmy pink negligee, carefully applying that last touch of lipstick, in preparation for…

The Bedroom. Doesn’t need any more explanation.

Even the bathroom fixtures are reminiscent of times gone by

Unfortunately the view out the window looks down on the never- opened Riviera Pool. Your imagination has to fill in beach towels on lounge chairs, bikinis and guys in white jackets serving tall drinks.

Editor’s Note, 2026: The room is no more! The Riviera, first opened in 1955, was demolished in 2016
