Section 7 - Regulation FD

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

         On April 7, 2006, a class action complaint (the "Labarbara
Complaint") was filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (Case
No. A520100), which complaint is identical to the complaint filed on April
6, 2006 (the "Trozzi Complaint") that Riviera Holdings Corporation (the
"Company") reported in its April 10, 2006 Form 8-K, except that the named
plaintiff in the Labarbara Complaint is Phillip Labarbara and one of the
three law firms representing the plaintiff is different than in the Trozzi
Complaint.  The Labarbara Complaint was served on the Company on April 10,
2006.



         Also on April 10, 2006, the Company was notified by Mr. Trozzi, the
named plaintiff in the Trozzi complaint, that he did not agree to be a party
to a lawsuit against the Company or to have  such a lawsuit filed in his
name.
         The Company believes the allegations in the Labarbara Complaint and
the Trozzi Complaint are without merit.
         The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for
purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed
incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as
and when expressly set forth by such specific reference in such filing.
