If it wasn't for the resort fee, I'd say forget the strip!
I'll get that out the way. I don't like to support casinos who charge a resort fee because quite frankly, they should just include those charges with the room rate and not be sneaky about it. But if you don't mind resort fees and would like to find an alternative from the Strip or downtown LV, read on.
Red Rock has many amenities. The one that stood out the most for me was the child care area. I'm looking at you parents who bring their underage kids to the Vegas! Or for those who can't get away because of their kids, there is an option for you here. The center is rather enclosed and they take some good precautions in making sure no one walks off with your kids.
There's also a movie theater, for the movies you can't just pass on even while you're on vacation. Of course, there's a little arcade right outside. Aside from the buffet, they have a food court with a variety of food options. And if you're itching to spend your winnings, there's a Best Buy across the street.
