Riviera Hotel IMPLODES with Comedians at the Riviera ComedyClub

It's definitely not a laughing matter that the Riviera Hotel & Casino, currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, is closing up shop on May 4. But that didn't stop the main event on April 20th when dozens of comedians gathered for one last performance during the "Riviera Comedy Implosion" at the Riviera Comedy Club.

The show was a tribute to one of Las Vegas' most renowned comedy clubs. There were surprise performances by those who cut their comedy teeth inside the historic walls of the Riviera Hotel & Casino.

Some of the comedians during the evening show included:
  • Carla Rea
  • Bob Zany
  • Stanley Ullman
  • Paul Bond
  • Kathleen Dunbar
  • Jimmie Walker
  • George Wallace
  • Mike Saccone
  • Willie Farrell
  • John Caponera
  • Vince Morris
  • Sheila Kay
