Don't forget, if you're a players' club member at Riviera, you can check-in at the front desk VIP window. If you're not a member, sign up before you sign-in [g]. Sometimes there's a line anyway, but it's always shorter than the general check-in line that reaches the street at times.

I mentioned this last year on the bb and included a copy of a mailer sent me from the hotel. I haven't received one this year, but assume the same is still true. Gold and Platinum level players can check-in at VIP services (host office), of course, and get room upgrades when available (and if you ask).

Below is a copy of the current perq schedule for Club Riviera. Note the cashback at the higher levels. One point is earned for $2 coin-in on slots and $4 coin-in for video poker. Quite favorable for higher level players... and it's real cash in your hand, not free play.

Note "transportation" means "airport limo".

The restaurant discounts shown are only for coffee shop and buffet, not the two better restaurants.
