I was here on business and just happened to stay in the Rivers, was not really interested in casino. On the plus side, the casino is clean and makes an excellent first impression, and the setting is nice, along the Mohawk River. I cannot ever imagine returning to this venue for a concert or other special event. Who would have ever thought that there is actually more room in an airplane seat! To make the conditions even worse, all seats are at floor level, directly behind one another, which makes viewing the stage almost impossible, except for the most expensive seats. Seats were jammed so closely together, that almost everyone's arms were up against those in an adjacent seat.
The large woman in front of us actually broke her seat.
Except for the most expensive seats which appeared to have cushions, our seats wee the cheapest plastic seats on the market. Our ticket price ($70 each) was at the higher end of ticket prices, but was a poor value. My wife and I went to the Rivers Casino for a performance by our favorite magician, Michael Carbonaro, on May 5, 2019. The odds of enjoying a concert or other special event at the Rivers Casino are definitely a poor gamble, with the odds stacked in favor of The House.
