If you seek a casino pool on the Strip that’s relaxing, quiet and douchebag-free, my experience says, “Try the Riviera.” After all, “tranquil” and “Vegas” needn’t be oxymoronic. But Riv management’s out to change all that …

OK, one doesn’t associate the Riv with the youth scene but you’ve got to applaud them for trying to elbow in on the action, especially with so many Strip pool parties (see LVA‘s rundown) becoming synonymous with “five-figure ripoff.” And it sure beats my proposed Riviera marketing slogan: “Our casino has way more CEOs than yours!”
