The Riviera Casino, opened in 1955 on the Las Vegas Strip, was one of the citys first high-rise resorts and a symbol of mid-century glamour and sophistication. Initially designed to attract high rollers and celebrities, the Riviera hosted iconic performers such as Liberace, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. Despite its early success, the casino struggled with financial instability, changing ownership multiple times over the decades. The rise of newer, more extravagant mega-resorts in the 1990s and 2000s further diminished its appeal. Unable to compete in the evolving market, the Riviera eventually closed in 2015 and was demolished in 2016, marking the end of an era for one of Las Vegass legendary landmarks.
