January 18-22, 2012 NO bed bugs
I stayed for four nights. Checked the entire room with a flashlight (room 556A in the South
Tower)and found no evidence of bedbugs.

My wife checked out of this hotel (566) late last evening after finding bites on her legs and face after one night's stay. She also mentioned that her room was so poorly ligthed that she couldn't even check for bed bugs. Ended up staying at the Tropicana for $42/night thru Hotwire.

I just checked out of Room 4621 in the Monaco tower this morning. I checked the mattress and bedclothes for any sign of bedbugs and didn't see any so I thought it was alright. But today my neck and chest are covered with itchy red welts. I didn't see any bed bugs, so maybe it's something else but I don't know what else it could be.

For people posting that there are no bed bugs, i am a bed bug expert and keep in mind that when a room has bed bugs they wont be in every room, usually only in room next to the one that has bed bugs. as long as bugs have people constantly coming into a room that is infested, they have someone to bite and do not have a need to seek out other rooms. they stay very close to the bed area where they can bite at night. so just because any hotel has bed bugs does not mean all rooms. just be diligine i
n checking bed and room before you sleep in the bed, never put purse or luggage on bed. actually having a plastic garbage bag to put your purse and luggage in is a good idea when you stay at any hotel to be safe and wash all clothes as soon as you get home, leave luggage in garage. this is my advice, and pull sheets off bed and check mattress while staying at hotels

We have been staying at the Riv, every year for 11 nights for five years now.Just got back May 11, 2011 from our most recent visit. I'm not calling the other people in these reports liars, but I do find their stories hard to believe. We have been in the Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Mediterranean towers, and have never had a problem with bed bugs or anything else. The beds and pillows are most comfortable and are very clean. The housekeepers are wonderful ladies, and not once have we encountered rude
staff anywhere else either. The Riv is the only thing keeping this end of the strip alive, and I hear the new owners are planning alot of new wonderful changes. So, if you want a friendly and affordable stay at a comfortable hotel this is your best bet.

Stayed in the Monaco Tower mid-April. No problems, older, tired hotel but no bed bugs and staff very friendly. No coffee maker in rooms though...seems to be a trend.

No bed bugs but when we first arrived in the room before we even unpacked I went to sit on the toilet and noticed right above the toilet tissue holder there was a HUGE dried bloody booger...no lie...it was disgusting and after calling down to the front no one ever came up to clean it up...this hotel is disgusting i do not recommend it at all!

I've stayed at the Riviera 3-4 times a year for the last 5 years and have never experienced any problems with bugs or any kind. Great hotel!
Disgruntled and Disgusted on 01/13/2011
I was in town from 1/4/11-1/10/11 for the CES show at the Convention Center. I had a horrible experience in this pitiful excuse for a hotel and would have left after the first night, but my company booked it for all of our conference attendees and so I had no say as to my accommodations. After my colleague and I waited at the front desk for THREE HOURS while the Riviera staff tried to fix a mistake in our reservations that they wrongly blamed our travel agent for (I've since seen the records s
ubmitted to the Riviera and it was they who created the problem), I was given a room in the Mediterranean Tower.
I am an attorney, not an exterminator, but I spent my first night of the conference killing FOUR ROACHES. Disgusted beyond belief, I slept for only three hours that night. I complained, requested another room, and was given another room in the same tower.
Two nights later, I was at a business dinner and noticed some odd bumps near my wrist and the back of my neck began itching like mad; turns out I've got several small and itchy bumps on my neck and up into my hairline and they are still driving me nuts. Checked with a physician and bedbug bites were considered to be the likely culprit.
Nobody else in our party complained about any other bugs and I did not seem to have any further pest problems in my second room, but steer clear of this hellhole for your own sanity; locals at the conference billed it as one of the worst places to stay in Vegas and even my taxi driver to the hotel made comments to us about the possible bedbug issue (I should've paid more attention to his warnings). I now have a suitcase full of suits that I need to worry about having specially cleaned to kill any possible bugs and conveniently, my company will not be reimbursing those costs...
Itchy on 11/14/2010
I stayed at the the Riviera in 2004, my last trip to Las Vegas. When I got home, I had over 90 bites. Unfortunately, it can take 3-5 days for the bites to show up, depending on your allergic level. Mine revealed themselves during the plane ride home. I was lucky that I didn't bring them home with me.
I called them to let them know which room I was in so that they could treat it. They were so rude. I wasn't asking for my money back or anything. I just wanted to warn them so others might avoid
the problem. They weren't interested in my room number because they "knew" I didn't get the bites there.

We stayed at the Riviera from Oct. 7 - 17th. Being aware of the problems all over the country (not just in Vegas) we checked the mattress and sheets as soon as we arrived. The room was GREAT and there were no bugs.

WHAT BUILDINGS DID EACH OF YOU STAY IN AT THE RIVIERA? YOU MENTION ROOM NUMBERS BUT NOT THE TYPE OF ROOM OR THE BUILDING NAME. THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE THAT INTEND TO STAY AT THIS HOTEL.

We stayed at the Riviera September 1st - 5th in room #750. First we noticed blood on the sheets the second night we were staying there. We assumed we just received dirty sheets from housekeeping (because we had other problems: not getting any towels from them, etc). We did not think anything about bedbugs until after we left. We are now home, and have found that we carried back bedbugs from the hotel! Our bed is now infested with the bugs and we are in the process of treating them. Lesson Learne
d: We should of paid closer attention to the bed at the hotel! I am not sure if I should call the hotel....according to the stories read online, the hotel managers don't even care!

I was in town for a conference and a colleague and I shared a room (room 644) at the Riviera Hotel on 6/9/10-6/11. My colleague woke up the second morning COVERED with bites. Security came up and did some listless looking around in the sheets. I pointed out that bed bugs usually hide in the mattress seams, tiny cracks and crevices and lifted up the bed skirt to suggest he look there. But there was no need to look any further - a big fat bedbug was hanging out right under the bed skirt I'd just l
ifted!

I arrived at the Riviera on 3/11/10, and stayed until 3/15/10 in room 646. The room was clean and tidy, but I got bites on my legs and they itched. They have progessed and gotten worse this week, now they are all over my body, and I've had to go to the doctor to get a cream. Hopefully this gets better, other members of my team also recieved bites in different rooms.

Riviera Hotel and Casino on 06/19/2009
We stayed at the Riviera June 15th-18th, 2009. We stayed in the old building. Don't want to give you the room number because I don't want to be libel (for telling the truth). Our room had bed bugs but we didn't know it until the morning we checked out, as we didn't know the 'tell-tale' signs of blood spots and thought the bites might be from mosquitos (because the thought that we were sleeping with bugs never occurred to us). We saw the bugs the last morning and complained. They took a report,
but when we talked to the risk manager, she said bed bugs can't be that tiny. Well I have since seen pictures, and oh yes they can. I do not recommend this hotel.
