Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
	Riviera Holdings Corporation (“RHC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riviera Operating Corporation (“ROC”) (RHC and ROC, together with ROC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”), were incorporated on January 27, 1993, in order to acquire all assets and liabilities of Riviera, Inc. Casino-Hotel Division on June 30, 1993, pursuant to a plan of reorganization. The Company operates the Riviera Hotel & Casino (the “Riviera Hotel & Casino”) on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The interim results reflected in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Casino operations are subject to extensive regulation in the state of Nevada by agencies with jurisdiction over gaming activities and various other state and local regulatory agencies. Our management believes that the Company’s procedures comply, in all material respects, with the applicable regulations for supervising casino operations, recording casino and other revenues, and granting credit.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RHC and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company’s management reviewed events that occurred from June 30, 2014 until the issuance of the financial statements.
	Liquidity
	The Company had $58.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.4 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2014. Additionally, effective April 1, 2011, the Company had the ability to draw up to $10 million against its Working Capital Facility (as defined in Note 5). However, due to the default under the Series A Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 5) and the Series B Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 5), we do not currently have the ability to draw any additional funds under the Working Capital Facility until such time as the default is cured or waived. The lenders under our Series A Credit Agreement and our Series B Credit Agreement also hold 100% of our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (as defined in Note 6). As a result of the default, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement, respectively) have the ability to increase the interest accruing on amounts owed under the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement, respectively. An increase in the interest rate would negatively affect our available cash and results from operations. Further, the Required Lenders and administrative agent under the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement, respectively, have the right to accelerate repayment of all amounts owed under each of the agreements and require us to repay such amounts immediately. We do not currently have sufficient funds to repay the Series A and Series B debt. Repaying these amounts and covering our operating losses will require additional cash, which may include the issuance of additional equity, debt financing and/or capital contributions from stockholders, if available to us. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital resources. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and inhibit our ability to continue to conduct business operations. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. We do not provide any guarantees or assurances that the Company will have ample liquidity and capital resources to meet future financial obligations. If repayment of the indebtedness under our Series A Credit Agreement and Series B Credit Agreement were accelerated, we do not believe the Company has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet both debt service and normal operating expenditures. Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement (as defined in Note 5), the Required Lenders had agreed to forbear from exercising their remedies under the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement arising out of the default for a period up to and including July 31, 2014. On July 31, 2014, the Forbearance Agreement was amended to extend the forbearance period through August 31, 2014.
	Going Concern
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
	Subsequent to emergence from bankruptcy, the Company has generated net losses from continuing operations before income tax benefits of $6.8 million, $26.8 million, $56.6 million and $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period April 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $78.0 million at June 30, 2014. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $58.6 million and a net working-capital deficit of $38.8 million at June 30, 2014. The net working-capital deficit includes $50.0 million of the Company’s Series A Credit Agreement and $36.1 million of the Company’s Series B Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Agreements”), both of which are classified as currently payable due to the defaults discussed below.
	In connection with the Credit Agreements, we agreed to several affirmative and negative covenants. Beginning on June 30, 2012 and as of each subsequent quarter, including as of June 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants in, and in default under, the Credit Agreements (see Note 5).  Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Required Lenders had agreed to forbear from exercising their remedies under the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement arising out of the default for a period up to and including July 31, 2014. On July 31, 2014, the Forbearance Agreement was amended to extend the forbearance period through August 31, 2014. The Company is currently in negotiations with its lenders, who are also stockholders, under the Credit Agreements concerning new financial covenants and other amendments to the Credit Agreements to resolve the existing default. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so or that such amendments will be on favorable terms to the Company. The conditions and events described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Estimates and Assumptions
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used by the Company include estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, certain accrued liabilities and the estimated allowances for receivables and deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from estimates.
	Restricted Cash
	As of June 30, 2014, a security deposit in the amount of $0.4 million remains held for the benefit of the State of Nevada Workers’ Compensation Division as a requirement of our being self-insured for workers’ compensation.
	On April 28, 2014, the Company requested and received approval from the Required Lenders, as defined in each of the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement, to withdraw the full amount, $38.9 million, held in the Company’s segregated cash account for working capital purposes.
	Fair Value Measurement
	The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt is based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 input under the fair value measurement hierarchy, as discussed further in Note 3.
	Income Taxes
	The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States. Authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes requires that we account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, and deferred tax liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes also requires that we perform an assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment includes the evaluation of the future reversal of temporary tax differences, the nature and frequency of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income and implementation of tax planning strategies.
	We have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred tax assets, excluding the deferred tax liability related to the step-up in land recorded in connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting on the Substantial Consummation Date (as discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013), will not be realized, and accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset balance.  Deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived assets are not available to be considered as a future source of income for purposes of evaluating the recognition of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability related to the step-up in land was recognized on the Company’s balance sheet.
	Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014 was 0%. The Company believes it is reasonable to apply a full valuation allowance, offsetting the tax benefit that would otherwise be generated from a net operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The deferred tax balances remain unchanged from December 31, 2013.
	Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. Authoritative guidance regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Based on authoritative guidance, the Company has not recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate that this will change over the next twelve months.
	Our income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in the locations where we operate.  The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction.  Generally, because the Company has losses from prior years, the statute of limitations remains open until the statute of limitations for the tax year in which the losses are utilized expires.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under review and study by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of any such proposed or revised standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 input under the fair value measurement hierarchy, as discussed below.
	Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas, Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1:  Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2:  Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	•	Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
	Fair Value of Long-term Debt

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no commitments or contingencies that are not already accounted for in the consolidated financial statements or disclosed in the accompanying condensed notes.
	Legal Proceedings and Related Events
	The Company is a party to routine lawsuits arising from the normal operations of a casino or hotel. We do not believe that the outcome of such litigation, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
	Concentrations of Labor Subject to Collective Bargaining Agreements
	As of June 30, 2014, 610 of our 967 employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Since December 31, 2013, we have successfully negotiated tentative or final agreements with several of our employee groups which are subject to collective bargaining agreements. A prolonged dispute with employees covered by collective bargaining agreements could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, wage and/or benefit increases resulting from new collective bargaining agreements may be significant and could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
	Management Agreement
	On June 21, 2013, RHC and ROC entered into a Resort Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Paragon Riviera LLC (“Paragon”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, RHC and ROC engaged Paragon to provide oversight of the executive level management at Riviera Hotel & Casino. Paragon will also provide financial, marketing, business and organizational strategy services to Riviera Hotel & Casino. The term of the Management Agreement is two years from the date of execution, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms and conditions. Paragon receives a base fee payment monthly on the first day of each calendar month during the term. Paragon is eligible to receive an additional incentive management fee upon achieving a specified threshold at the end of each year of the term of the agreement. As of June 30, 2014, there is $1.5 million recorded as accrued management fees for Paragon. Management fees expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 was $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

	Series A Credit Agreement
	On April 1, 2011, pursuant to the Company’s second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”), entered into in connection with the Company’s reorganization proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code that were consummated on April 1, 2011 (the “Substantial Consummation Date”), RHC entered into a first lien credit agreement (the “Series A Credit Agreement”) with ROC and our former subsidiary Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Series A Credit Agreement provides for initial aggregate lender commitments of $60 million, including a $50 million term loan facility (the “Series A Term Loan”) and a $10 million revolving loan (the “Working Capital Facility”). The Working Capital Facility provides for a letter of credit facility and a swingline loan facility with sublimits of $5 million and $2 million, respectively. The Series A Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 1, 2016. Availability of the revolving loans under the Working Capital Facility is subject to certain conditions provided for in the Series A Credit Agreement. The proceeds of extensions of credit under the Series A Credit Agreement can be used by RHC for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
	Interest accrues at a LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) for a specified interest period (with a floor of 2.0%) plus a margin rate of 5.0% per annum or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below) plus a margin rate of 4.0% per annum. Alternate base rate (“Alternate Base Rate”) interest is an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement), (ii) the Federal Funds Effective rate (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (iii) the LIBOR Rate that would be payable on such day for LIBOR Rate Loan (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) with one month interest period plus 1.0%.
	RHC is required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee and customary fees to the administrative agent. RHC is also required to pay quarterly participation and fronting fees based on the amount of the letter of credit exposure of the applicable lenders and letter of credit issuers, respectively.
	The obligations under the Series A Credit Agreement are guaranteed by RHC's Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Series A Credit Agreement and are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of RHC's and its Domestic Subsidiaries’ assets, other than a deposit account into which the proceeds of the Series B Term Loan (as defined below) was deposited on the Substantial Consummation Date (the “Series B Term Loan Controlled Account”). Proceeds deposited in the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account are earmarked primarily for capital improvements.
	The Series A Credit Agreement subjects RHC to certain customary affirmative covenants, including the delivery of financial statements and annual operating budgets. In addition, the Series A Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on RHC's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge. Beginning on June 30, 2012 and as of each subsequent quarter, including as of June 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants in, and in default under, the Series A Credit Agreement. The Required Lenders (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) temporarily waived such default with respect to the June 30, 2012 default and this waiver expired on July 31, 2012. On April 29, 2014, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the Required Lenders pursuant to which the Required Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising their remedies under the Series A Credit Agreement arising out of the default for a period up to and including July 31, 2014 (the "Series A Forbearance Agreement"). On July 31, 2014, the Series A Forbearance Agreement was amended to extend the forbearance period through August 31, 2014. The lenders and administrative agent under the Series A Credit Agreement have not taken any action to exercise any remedies under the Series A Credit Agreement.
	In addition, the Series A Credit Agreement contains provisions concerning customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults, failure of any guarantee of the loan obligations or any loan document to be in full force and effect, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement), certain ERISA defaults and failure to keep any necessary casino licenses in full force and effect. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the Series A Credit Agreement may be accelerated, and the rights and remedies of the lenders under the Series A Credit Agreement may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing obligations under the Series A Credit Agreement. As such, the balance of the Series A Term Loan, as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, is classified as a current obligation.
	Upon the occurrence of the event of default described above, and for so long as such event of default is continuing, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Series A Credit Agreement) have the ability to increase the interest accruing on amounts owed under the Series A Credit Agreement. Different default interest rates would apply to the principal of the loans, the accrued but unpaid interest on the loans and any other amounts owed under the Series A Credit Agreement. With respect to the principal of the loans made pursuant to the Series A Credit Agreement, the default interest rate is equal to the current interest rate plus 2.0%. Although the Required Lenders under the Series A Credit Agreement have not taken any action to increase the interest rate under the Series A Credit Agreement, the Company is accruing for the additional 2.0% default interest.
	The Company is currently in discussions with the Required Lenders (who also hold similar percentage equity interests in the Company) concerning new financial covenants and other amendments to the Series A Credit Agreement to resolve the existing default. There can be no assurance that the Company and its Required Lenders (in their dual capacity as debt holder and equity holder) will be successful in doing so or that such amendments will be on favorable terms to the Company.
	Series B Credit Agreement
	On April 1, 2011, pursuant to the Plan, RHC also entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “Series B Credit Agreement”) with ROC and our former subsidiary Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Series B Credit Agreement provides for, and governs the terms of, a $20 million term loan facility (the “Series B Term Loan”).
	The Series B Term Loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement) plus 3.0%, payable in cash, and the LIBOR Rate plus 13.0%, payable in kind (PIK) in interest that will be recapitalized as principal. The Series B Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 1, 2019.
	RHC is required to pay a customary fee to the administrative agent. The obligations under the Series B Credit Agreement are guaranteed by RHC's Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Series B Credit Agreement and are secured by (i) a first priority security interest on Series B Term Loan Controlled Account and (ii) a second priority security interest on substantially all of RHC's and its Domestic Subsidiaries’ other assets.
	The Series B Credit Agreement subjects RHC to certain customary affirmative covenants, including the delivery of financial statements and annual operating budgets. In addition, the Series B Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on RHC's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge. Beginning on June 30, 2012 and as of each subsequent quarter, including as of June 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants in, and in default under, the Series B Credit Agreement.

On July 31, 2014, the Series B Forbearance Agreement was amended to extend the forbearance period through August 31, 2014. The lenders and administrative agent under the Series B Credit Agreement have not taken any action to exercise any remedies under the Series B Credit Agreement.
	In addition, the Series B Credit Agreement contains provisions concerning customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults, failure of any guarantee of the loan obligations or any loan document to be in full force and effect, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement), certain ERISA defaults and failure to keep any necessary casino licenses in full force and effect.

	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
	Common Stock
	The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,011 shares of common stock, consisting of (i) 10 Class A Shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Voting Common Stock”), and (ii) 10,000,001 Class B Shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Non-Voting Common Stock”), of which 10 shares of Class A Voting common stock, and 9,135,318 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2014.
	The Company, Riviera Voteco, L.L.C. (“Voteco”), the stockholder holding 100% of the Class A Voting Common Stock, and certain stockholders holding a majority of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock have entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Stockholders Agreement, among other things, contemplates an agreed composition of the Company’s Board of Directors and prohibits the transfer of the Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock unless Voteco determines that such transfer is not to a person who is a competitor of, or otherwise adverse to, the Company, and the Company is reasonably satisfied that such transfer will comply with certain requirements relating to securities, regulatory and other specified laws. Any purported transfer of the Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock will be null and void if not made in compliance with all applicable gaming laws and following receipt of all required gaming approvals. The Stockholders Agreement also subjects transfers of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, other than to certain affiliated transferees, to specified tag-along rights, drag-along rights, and a right of first offer. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement contains agreements among the parties with respect to certain governance matters, including director appointment and board observer rights and restrictions on the issuance of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company or other rights convertible into or to acquire such securities, restrictions on distributions, repurchases and pledges of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, registration rights with respect to holders of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, rights to indemnification and contribution and provisions related to conflicts of interests and transactions with affiliates.
	Preferred Stock
	We are authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which none were issued as of June 30, 2014. Our Board of Directors, without further action by the holders of common stock, may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to fix for each such class or series such voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock.
	Warrants
	Creditors under our $245 million Credit Agreement, dated June 8, 2007, that ceased to be in effect on April 1, 2011 upon consummation of the Plan, who elected to participate in the designated new money investment and Working Capital Facility received warrants exercisable into Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (the “Class B Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 950,000 shares of our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock.  The Class B Warrants do not have a stated term; the stated exercise price is $0.01 per exercise. The Company evaluated the Class B Warrants under current accounting pronouncements and determined they were properly classified as equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company valued the shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock with attached Class B Warrants using the Chaffee option valuation model assuming a life of 1 and 1.5 years, volatility factors of 48.5% and 53.18%, risk free rates of 0.27% and 0.54% and implied discounts for lack of marketability of 20% and 25%, respectively. The resulting value of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (with attached Class B Warrants) for future holders of, or current stockholders viewed as having an indirect interest in, Class A Voting Common Stock held by Riviera Voteco, L.L.C. for accounting purposes, is $17.72 per share. The resulting value of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (with attached Class B Warrants) for holders of warrants exercisable into membership interests in Voteco is $16.61 per share.
	On May 23, 2014, one holder of our Class B Warrants exercised its Class B Warrant at the stated aggregate exercise price of $0.01 and we issued to the holder 96,283 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock as a result.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policy)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Estimates and Assumptions	'
	Estimates and Assumptions
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used by the Company include estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, certain accrued liabilities and the estimated allowances for receivables and deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	As of June 30, 2014, a security deposit in the amount of $0.4 million remains held for the benefit of the State of Nevada Workers’ Compensation Division as a requirement of our being self-insured for workers’ compensation.
	On April 28, 2014, the Company requested and received approval from the Required Lenders, as defined in each of the Series A Credit Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement, to withdraw the full amount, $38.9 million, held in the Company’s segregated cash account for working capital purposes.
Fair Value Measurement	'
	Fair Value Measurement
	The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt is based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 input under the fair value measurement hierarchy, as discussed further in Note 3.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States. Authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes requires that we account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, and deferred tax liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes also requires that we perform an assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment includes the evaluation of the future reversal of temporary tax differences, the nature and frequency of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income and implementation of tax planning strategies.
	We have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred tax assets, excluding the deferred tax liability related to the step-up in land recorded in connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting on the Substantial Consummation Date (as discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013), will not be realized, and accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset balance.  Deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived assets are not available to be considered as a future source of income for purposes of evaluating the recognition of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability related to the step-up in land was recognized on the Company’s balance sheet.
	Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014 was 0%. The Company believes it is reasonable to apply a full valuation allowance, offsetting the tax benefit that would otherwise be generated from a net operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The deferred tax balances remain unchanged from December 31, 2013.
	Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. Authoritative guidance regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Based on authoritative guidance, the Company has not recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate that this will change over the next twelve months.
	Our income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in the locations where we operate.  The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction.  Generally, because the Company has losses from prior years, the statute of limitations remains open until the statute of limitations for the tax year in which the losses are utilized expires.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under review and study by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of any such proposed or revised standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.
