Some History:
The Riviera Hotel and Casino, also known as "The Riv", opened in April 1955 and closed its doors in May 2015.  The address was 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South.  The Riviera
was the 9th resort built on the famous Las Vegas Strip.  At its largest, the casino offered about 1,000 slot machines and 25 table games and the hotel had about 2,100 rooms.
Liberace was the opening headliner for the Riviera in 1955.  Some of the most famous and longest running acts in Las Vegas were at the Riviera and include Crazy Girls, Splash, and An Evening at La Cage.  The Riviera was often chosen as an onsite movie
location due to its history and recognition as an iconic Las Vegas landmark.  Some of the films that the Riviera appeared in include:  Ocean's 11 (1969), Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Butterfly (1982), GLOW Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (1986-1989), Casino (1995), Showgirls (1995), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), Con Air (1997), Vegas Vacation (1997), Go (1999), 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), Crazy Girls Undercover (2008), 21 (2008), The hangover (2009), Ghost Adventures (2012, 2016), Sky (2015), Jason Bourne (2016).
Although this is an uncirculated gaming token in its original capsule, and has never been removed from it, due to its age, there may be some tarnishing/toning occurring on the coin and/or scratches on the capsule. There seems to be a blemish on the rose side of the case.
