The Rivera is no longer. They shut it down a couple of months ago.
I had a couple of very strange experiences while visiting the Riviera during the sale. While walking down the hallway on the 27th floor I felt the presence of someone following me but there was no one there.
I wanted to enter the Sinatra suite but the doors were locked, so I decided to take a picture. While taking the pic On the LCD I noticed a white orb moving slowly, I looked directly at the door and it was right in front of me moving from the bottom to the top of the door. I snapped the pic and you can see it on the top left. I still don’t know what it was but I watched it until it dissapeared.
There’s only 23 floors, you probably have the floor wrong
I stayed at the Hotel during a security convention 2001 or 2002. I was in upper floor possibly 9th or 10th floor. I came back to my room, locked the door, and went to bed. I was awoken when it sound as if someone had entered the bathroom and was urinating in the toilet. As I laid in bed the covers were ripped off the bed (no one was in the room except me). I pulled the sheets and blanket back up (yes I covered my head) and indignantly told whatever or whoever pulled the bedding to “cut the shit” and went back to bed. I wasn’t really sure what I experienced and sadly did not ask about the room during my stay. Did anyone have a similar experience?
