Description
Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy...My Mom passed away recently and as I was going thru some of her personal things, I came across this vintage postcard. This was a postcard mailed to my Grandparents from my Mom and Dad in April 1976 from a trip they took to Las Vegas.
Riviera was a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada, which operated from April 1955 to May 2015. The Riviera Hotel and Casino enjoyed a legendary past as one of the first top-notch Las Vegas hotels in the State of Nevada, known for its big name entertainment and friendly hospitality, as well as its worldwide name recognition. The historic Riviera was one of the State’s premier destination spots offering the passion and excitement of nostalgic Las Vegas and the Rat Pack Era.
It was last owned by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, which decided to demolish it to make way for the Las Vegas Global Business District.
