Hot as Hell

The Riviera shakes up the pool party scene by ditching the DJs to feature live bands instead. Musicians kick out rock, blues and R&B at this new party for locals looking for a little after-work relaxation. Expect an intimate crowd of 150, decked out in resortwear and looking to rub shoulders and sink into a gentle groove. While bottle service ($150 and up) and cabana space can be purchased, charitable cocktailers should look to the menu of weekly-changing specialty drinks, for which a portion of the sales benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Springs.
