When weather and winds permit, the balloon rides are glorious.Īt night, from some of the rooms and suites, you can see the bright lights of the Strip, and if the need for those bright lights arises, there is complimentary shuttle service to the Strip (as well as to the airport). This means an abundance of great outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing and biking at Red Rock Canyon, rafting at Black Canyon or kayaking at Lake Mead. And that, for me, is the best way to visit a gambling destination.Įven better, the resort is located on 70 acres of land amid some spectacular mountain and desert scenery.
Check-in at Red Rock is the same as it would be at any upscale resort you don’t have to battle your way through slot machines and blackjack tables to get your room key. Yes, there is casino gambling at the resort, but it’s not in your face (or up your nostrils).
The Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa is just 10 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, but it might as well be a world away.
