About Paintball Grandstand - Riviera Hotel & Casino
The Paintball Grandstand was a temporary outdoor arena built on the Riviera parking area behind the Riviera Hotel & Casino for the 2009 Las Vegas World Paintball Championships. Located at the Las Vegas Convention Center Gold Parking Lot on Paradise Road and Convention Drive, this venue offered a spectator-friendly setup with Center Court Grandstands, general admission, and VIP options. While the Riviera has since closed and been demolished, this page preserves historical context and provides practical details for planning a visit to the site’s historic footprint and similar future events.
Geographically, the venue sat along Paradise Road near the LVCC complex, a short walk from the hotel-and-casino district on the Strip. If you’re researching the era or mapping legacy venues, this page compiles seating, parking, transit access, and nearby lodging and dining options that were commonly used by attendees during the 2009 championships and related weekend events.
Note: The Riviera Hotel & Casino closed in 2015 and was demolished in 2016 to make way for the Las Vegas Convention Center expansion. For current event planning, we suggest checking contemporary LVCC venues and nearby properties for similar outdoor and temporary event capabilities. We’ve highlighted practical steps, like parking options and walkable routes, to help you secure your seats and navigate transit with confidence, whether you’re attending a legacy event recap or a new Las Vegas paintball experience.
- Secure your seats with Center Court Grandstands — options included general admission and VIP seating.
- Plan parking in advance: Riviera Hotel & Casino parking was free for guests; LVCC parking typically charged per vehicle on event days.
- Walkable access: Exit the Riviera area and walk past the parking garage and tennis courts to reach the venue.
- Explore nearby hotels and dining: While the Riviera is no longer active, nearby zones like Planet Hollywood and Miracle Mile offered popular dining and nightlife during the event era.
- Stay informed on current venues: Look for LVCC outdoor setups or other temporary venues hosting major paintball events in Las Vegas.
