I always enjoy staying at the "Riv". My room has always been clean and ready for me when I check in at the VIP area (complements of players card). The food at the Ristorante Italiano is fantastic! The dover sole is to die for and the service is outstanding. When I return in eight days I will eat dinner at this restaurant every night. I enjoy the breakfast at Kady's however, I really did have the best breakfast ever at the Peppermill (I think that is the name). Jitters will make you cup-a-joe as you like just be sure you let them know that four shots of espresso in one cup of cappachino is a wee bit much.
Besides having the best machines on the strip - lots of slots-I have the best luck here. My last trip I won over ten thousand dollars just on slots! I also have a great time at the tables. The dealers at any table are always willing to help me if I am new at a game.
The players club rocks! I reluctantly signed up the first time I was there (thinking it was a waste of time) and it has been the greatest! I receive invitations to slot tournaments and special events all the time. I enjoy playing in their FREE slot tournaments and winning free money. FYI I must be lucky because I have won money every single time I enter a tournament! With my card I get free limo service, hotel room/suite, food, three times cash back, turn down service and complimentary spa robes, comp on any of their shows and my airfare has also been paid. Not bad HUH? You must be thinking I am a high roller but I am just your average player!
I thought I was missing something by not staying at the newer hotels. So one day I ventured over to the Wynn hotel just to see what it was like. Oh my it was gorgeous however, when I put $100 in a slot machine and did not even win five bucks I was pretty annoyed. So I put another hundred and guess what NOTHING but a free buffet. I don't know about you but I am not there to eat - I want to play! Also try and get a waitress at the Wynn I almost died of dehydration before I walked over to the waitress to get my bottled water.
I feel the most important thing is to feel safe and secure when gambling. The Riv has plenty of security and if someone is bothering me I just push the change button on the machine and within minutes I have assistance.
This really is a great place.
