Riviera Hotel & Casino 'haunting' reports and demolition

The Riviera, a long-running Las Vegas casino that opened in 1955, was the site of multiple deaths, accidents, and high-profile incidents during its decades of operation; those documented events have been cited in local articles and ghost-tour narratives as the basis for claims of hauntings or a "curse." The property was closed and demolished in 2016, an event widely reported in local and national media. Accounts of supernatural activity on the site appear in paranormal tourism and local lore, while the underlying incidents are matters of public record and news coverage.
