Items will be priced, tagged and sold as is. Buyers will be responsible for removing them.

All purchases will include a 10 percent buyer's premium on top of the listed price.

The sale will be held at the Riviera, 2901 Las Vegas Blvd. South, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays until all items are sold.

Shoppers should enter the resort on the Riviera Boulevard side, according to National Content Liquidators, which is organizing the sale.

Admission is $10 on each of the sale's first four days. People who make a purchase won't have to pay admission on subsequent days if they show their invoice, NCL said.

The Riviera, which opened in 1955, closed May 4. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority bought the 2,075-room resort for $182.5 million and plans to replace it with convention space.
