My first and last visits were at the Riviera. I can't remember what years they were. I had complementary VIP tickets, so I was there for four days. The rooms were from $30 to $50 depending on the day of the week. I only went out for dinner once each trip, relied on the dollar hot dogs at the Marilyn Monroe themed snack bar and liquid refreshment at the "Smash Bar", standing room only. OOPS, I think it was the "Crash Bar". I also remember one trip home on an understaffed Southwest flight. My friends and I were put in charge of the rear bar. When we asked the head stewardess how much to charge for the drinks, she said, "No charge, too much to explain."
