Hotels Near the Riviera in Vegas

Hotels Near the Riviera in Vegas
The Riviera was the first high-rise resort on the Las Vegas Strip, having first opened in 1955. It still remains one of the best entertainment destinations in the city, with the Riviera Comedy Club, "Barbra and Frank: The Concert That Never Was" and the Crazy Girls Fantasy Revue. You have plenty of alternative choices if you cannot get a room at the Riviera on your next golf trip or if you prefer to stay in a different hotel in the same area.

Circus Circus

For golfers bringing their families to Las Vegas, Circus Circus is the most kid-friendly hotel near the Riviera. The entire building is designed to resemble a large circus tent and includes a large indoor carnival with a selection of midway games your children can play to win prizes. Outside the casino, you will find the Adventuredome theme park, which includes numerous thrill rides, midway games, miniature golf, rock climbing, bungee jumping, and a video arcade.

There is also an RV park in the rear of the property, so you can still have the casino experience while saving money and enjoying the privacy and independence of being in your own vehicle.

Stratosphere

The Stratosphere tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Las Vegas, reaching a height of 1,149 feet. If you want to see the entire city at a glance, visit the observation deck, which is the highest free-standing deck of its kind in the United States.

Golfers looking for an adrenaline rush will enjoy the Insanity, Big Shot, and X Scream thrill rides on the top of the tower. For those who prefer a more relaxing way to enjoy the view, the Top of the World restaurant offers fine dining as the entire floor slowly rotates 360 degrees. The hotel includes more than 2,400 guest rooms, two outdoor swimming pools, two wedding chapels, indoor and outdoor fitness centers, and coin-operated laundry machines.

Las Vegas Hilton

The Las Vegas Hilton is geared more toward business travelers than the average gambling tourist because of its close proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Las Vegas National Golf Club is across the street from the hotel, making the Hilton a convenient choice for golfers visiting the city without a car. In fact, staying at the Hilton is the only way to play at the club without being a guest of an existing member.

This private 6,815-yard golf course has opened access to registered guests of the Las Vegas Hilton who reserve their tee times through the hotel's concierge desk. The Hilton's other amenities include a full-service spa, six tennis courts, outdoor swimming pool, health club and Jacuzzi.
