Like the movie “50 Shades of Grey”, Riviera rumors are everywhere I look today. It took a week for other outlets to catch up on the rumors that the Riviera will be closed and demolished but they’re out there like gangbusters today.
Riviera hasn’t confirmed any rumors but it seems like that may only be a matter of time. Here’s a quick roundup of current Riviera rumors. Click on links for full story.
- “Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) Will Buy and Demolish Riviera Las Vegas” – Vital Vegas says an official announcement will be coming on February 17.
- “Riviera focus of LVCVA purchase” – Las Vegas Sun digging for information says that the Riviera may be demolished by June.
- Las Vegas Advisor is hearing rumors from reliable sources.
- “Is Las Vegas’ Riviera Hotel about to be history?” – Las Vegas Review Journal trying to become more upworthy and offering nothing beyond clickbait.

Marc, I read about the Riviera rumor on your site first. I noticed that the Vegaschatter site gave you credit for being one of the first to break this story. IMO, your site and the Vegaschatter are must reads for fans of Vegas. I just received an email from the Mirage for 3 free nights in a suite, $175 in free play, and $150 M Life Resort Credit, plus 2 for 1 tickets for that apply to most of their shows….not a bad incentive to get us out there. Will probably book soon. Keep up the great work.
Marvin. Thanks for the kind words. I’m usually not very timely with posts but thought this rumor was too legit not to be true.
That’s a sweet offer for a great hotel. Have a great time! If you’re a breakfast person, make sure you hit The Pantry.
