For the last 12 months they act like they don't care about the guests. I watched a friend of mine get knocked to the ground by a security officer for no other reason but asking him why he was harrasing a girl. The management would not even listen to any request to discuss the incident. Visit there at your own risk.<br>So many good places in Vegas to play. They are in trouble for a reason.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Riveria neighbor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 9:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[i hope the cafe in the lobby remains open. their steak specials were always good and inexpensive. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[barry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 10:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[The north end of the strip is awful now....

Next time we will stay somewhere else where we can turn on the lights.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[winnnie73]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 10:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[If I could get a free roundtrip flights I would visit vegas all the time.

You can't walk 10 feet without 20 timeshare clowns hawking you. No comps, ridiculously high priced substandard meals and rude service people.

When players are unable to pay, criminal charges are brought in Nevada.  (unpaid casino markers (gambling debt) in Nevada are both a civil and criminal offense. So not only can a casino sue you, but also the state can charge you for defaulting on markers and threaten you with prison time.).  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobby5000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 11:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[The bad economy is the biggest part of the problem. But the article does mention that visitors visit other hotel/casinos "within walking distance". That's the "rub"!! The traffic has become so bad in Vegas, and the strip in particular, that nobody wants to traverse the city in a car; and taxi service is so expensive that it's really not an option. The city is a product of poor planning - a vertical city with streets designed in the 1950's !!! A small scale rapid transit system like the e-train around the city would provide some relief.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mdog002]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 11:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[You couldn't drag me to Lost Wages Nevada with three Kenworths!!!

Hard times are not wished upon anyone, but we gotta admit that hard times tend to sober us up, to make us just a wee bit smarter than we were before.  Millions of casino goers are realizing that a large room full of bells, whistles, smoke and "free" drinks comes with a very high price.  Also, that casino "gambling" isn't gambling at all.  You don't win; you just donate your money just for the privilege of hearing bells and whistles.  Who says we of humankind aren't evolving!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fred Worfe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 11:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[DUMP X 10 !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2010 11:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[Praise the Lord.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 15th 2010 12:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Riviera Hotel Files For Bankruptcy]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/13/riviera-files-for-bankruptcy/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have lived in Vegas for five years.<br>My first trip to Vegas was in 1969.
