Okay, so update on my Riviera saga. I want to say, everyone on the staff here that I have spoken with has been polite and understanding. First off, posting this from my smart phone because the Internet does not work. Sometimes I can find the wireless signal and connect to the router but no internet. Others are having the same issue yet operator says everything should be fine and she will have someone look into it. I check into the room, can't wait to shower and get changed into some fresh clothes. I notice as I grab the bath mat that it is noticeably damp, almost wet. That to me was suspect so of course didn't feel like using the towels either. As if to further convince me, I see that the old soap from the previous guest is still sitting in a dried up mess of soap slop on the side of the tub. Classy. Okay, so all that said, the room was in good overall condition but the sliding closet doors, no doubt left over from the 50's were really ratty and rickety. The A/C, also probably from the 50's was on and was blowing cool air but it wasn't keeping the room cool. I spoke with a maintenance person who told me they have been through 3 different management companies in a very short time. What that means exactly I'm not sure but is no doubt indicitive of there being issues. I have reminded myself though to keep this all in perspective, the reason I booked here was the price. Room cost plus resort fee is still really reasonable. Should I expect more? Am I being too picky? Maybe a little but I have stayed at many other properties in Vegas and at similar rates and had a better experience. Not sure if there is a separate section for their steak restaurant or not but will post my experience here. Again, everyone was great as far as personality and service. Marsha the hostess introduced herself and even shook my hand. Adrian my server checked in with me often and kept up with everything as did Hector. I ordered the Prime Rib. It was the worst piece of meat I have ever had. To be clear, it was cooked the way I asked for it but the quality was so poor. It was really chewy, really tough, not enjoyable at all. The sides, mashed potatoes and green beans were great. Prices, if it had been a nice piece of meat, great. My check for just the meal and soft drink was about $25.00.
