Hotel Information

The conference hotel for this year's annual meeting is The Riviera, one of the most historic properties on the Las Vegas Strip. Your site selection team has successfully negotiated excellent rates in this recently-remodeled hotel.

Our room rates for single and double occupancy are $99 per night, plus a required $7 resort fee and Clark County taxes (currently 12%). As always, SSSA strongly encourages our attendees to stay at our conference hotel during your stay, because we have contracted to fill 1300 room nights, and are liable for financial penalties if we do not attain our room "block." You can read the full SSSA Conference Hotel Registration Policy here.

In July, 2010 The Riviera declared bankruptcy in order to restructure its debt. The management of the hotel has assured us that our association and conference should experience no disruption in service.

Specific instructions for making reservations at the Riviera will be available at this website soon.
