What is it about you that you can't say anything nice about anything. I dare say you probably know nothing about the Riv. I have been staying there off & on for over 25 years & do not have any problem with it. Before you go off, I have also stayed at Harrah's, Rio, Palms,Tropicana, Flamingo(Yechh), Bally's, Stardust, Frontier, TI, Mirage, Bellagio, IP, Terribles, King 8, Caesars, Luxor, Palace Sta., Mandalay Bay, $ Queens, Fitzgeralds, Plaza, Main St Sta, El Cortez, A bunch in Laughlin, & Primm/Jean,& Pahrump. What I saying to you is: Don't knock others for their perference. Remember what you were told as a young child: Nothing good to say, say nothing. Enjoy & if you would like to talk this over, just meet me at the Conv @ the Riviera & Also @("SPLASHBAR" 2)
