The film is about a group of Las Vegas sexy showgirls who are undercover agents working with a former C.I.A. agent (Robertson) to stop a terrorist attack. The film takes its name from the Riviera (hotel and casino)'s showgirls show, and includes scenes showing the hotel and the bronzed thong and butt sculpture. In one scene drag queens dressed as Cher, Marilyn Monroe, and Michael Jackson are seated in the audience.
