Las Vegas: Riviera Hotel & Casino

Excalibur still caters to families. They have to, being a castle and all. It's ok.
For the same range try the Monte Carlo...

 

Stayed at Excalibur once. Took forever to walk through the casino to the rooms and/or the exits followed by a long walk to the Strip. The room was very small and no-frills, almost like we were tucked into a corner of the property, but it was very clean and comfortable. That said, it was 2002 when I was there.

 

. . . 'cept the 21 "features" the most blatant preferential shuffling in town, especially from a certain demographic portion of the dealers. Count gets good? SHUFFLE UP! Count is -6? Deal, deal, deal those cards.

Rat bastads.

 

this.

cleaner, nicer experience, still mgm mirage if you care for your gambling and comps.

 

And it's awfully, awfully noisy, given the broad lack of wall insulation in the primary casino areas. Was there the week it opened . . . don't think I've been back three times, since.

 

I love Bill's! Made $125 there playing blackjack at a $5 table; and Fat Elvis rocks

 

Bill's rooms and location are first-rate.

Too bad it's now under the influence of the Harrah's malignancy.

 

Really? I thought I read some bad reviews on one of the travel sites about that place.

 

Have no doubt the food's gone straight to hell.

 

I have a shirt, a water bottle, pen and two notepads from Stardust.

Not sure it's enough to start up our own Stardust hotel, but it's a start!

 

Used to play in the Stardust's daily slots tournament, something like $10 per entry. Made the finals once and got some cheesy electronic gadget.

 

I considered bidding on a poker felt, but they were way out of price range. My plan was to use it as backdrop in a big frame for some photos of our trips there.
