DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

On August 9, 2002, Riviera Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-97907 (the “Registration Statement”), for the exchange offer by which holders of the Company’s 11% Senior Secured Notes Due 2010, that were issued on June 26, 2002 (the “Original Notes”) in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), could exchange their Original Notes for new notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer”), and whose terms and principal amount were the same as the Original Notes (the “New Notes”). The aggregate original principal amount of the Original Notes was $215,000,000.
On November 25, 2002 the Company completed the Exchange Offer. Original Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $214,800,000 were exchanged for New Notes, while Original Notes for approximately $200,000 of the original principal amount were not exchanged.
In accordance with an undertaking in Item 22 under Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold. No Original Notes or New Notes are currently outstanding.
