| - Been wanting to check this place out ever since I first heard of it but on every Vegas trip out that I had a car, I never made it. Well, I finally made the trip and I'm glad I did!
Red Rock is a very nice locals casino that unfortunately (for a non-local) is way off strip. As is standard these days for a locals casino, it has a multi-plex theater (Regal), and a bowling alley.
First things first whenever I visit a new casino, I sign up for their players card hoping for a nice sign-up bonus (aka free play). The sign-up bonus was freeplay (anywhere from $3-$500) you can probably guess what I got ($3).
After playing and cashing out what I won with my freeplay, I took a walk around the casino to check out what else they offered.
Red Rock has many dining choices from food court food to high class dining establishments. First restaurant that caught my eye was Yard House. Yard House is a favorite of mine since I first tried them out last year when they opened a location in San Jose. If you love beer, come here!
After playing a little while more on some slots, I decided to take a break and use one of my discount movie passes at the theater and saw the latest Bourne flick: Bourne Legacy (if your a fan of the Bourne films you will enjoy it btw).
After the movie I was getting hungry and decided to check out their buffet. The buffet prices were affordable:
Breakfast Mon - Sat 8:00AM - 10:45AM $4.99*
Lunch Mon - Sat 11:00AM - 3:00PM $7.99*
Dinner Weekly 4:00PM - 9:00PM $13.99*
Brunch Sunday 8:00AM - 4:00PM $13.99*
When signing up for my players card, I was told that I could print out a 2 for 1 (or half off for one) for the buffet. $7 for dinner? Sold!
Well, as they say, you get what you pay for. Selection was sparse (in comparison to many of the buffets on the Strip) but for the price it was ok. I won't go out of my way to come back.
Overall, I had a good time at Red Rock. It probably helped some that I won a little bit of money here too! Not sure though that I will be a frequent visitor here when I go to Vegas since it is so far off strip.
