Riviera announces closure date, time on Las Vegas Strip
The Riviera hotel-casino officially announced Wednesday it will close May 4 at noon, according to a news release.

An estimated 1,000 jobs will be eliminated.
“We greatly appreciate the expressions of fondness and loyalty for ‘The Riv’ from our guests since ground first broke in 1954 and through the years. More importantly we want to acknowledge and applaud our associates who have worked to create enduring memories for all of our guests,” the release said.
“This is what will be remembered long after the walls have come down. We look forward to making the coming weeks fun, exciting and memorable.”
The Riviera will celebrate its 60th anniversary on April 20.
