| - Just got home from a three night stay at Red Rock and I can honestly say that I will never stay on the strip again....
Keep in mind... I've been staying on the strip two to three times a year since I was born.... my parents were big Vegas fans. For the last 20 or so years, my wife and I always book a suite at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay. We decided to switch it up after reading so many great reviews of Red Rock on Yelp and Trip Advisor. Besides, Bruce Hornsby was playing Red Rock so we thought... "Why not?"
One of the best decisions we ever made. Here are some of the things we enjoyed at Red Rock that we never could get on the strip...
Beautiful suites with a stunning view of Red Rock Canyon, Friendly, caring staff everywhere we went, Cheap great buffets ($4.99 for Breakfast, $6.99 lunch $12.99 dinner), the latest in gaming equipment, an ultra cool 72 lane bowling alley, 16 screen movies, food court with actual good food, great restaurants, great music acts in a lounge that holds maybe 300 people for $20(!), 19 hiking trails of different difficulties, mini fridge in our suite and locals a plenty. Most of the people at the casino were locals.
Such a different vibe then the strip.... totally relaxed. Whoever hires and trains the staff is doing a stellar job. I can't emphasize enough how cool everyone was. When I asked a bartender why every staff member we encountered was so cool he thanked me and said it was because no one wants to be fired and have to go back to working on the strip or downtown.
Our new favorite place to stay. We didn't visit the strip once.... no need to. Everything you need is right here.
