This is our 2nd stay at the hotel. We come to Las Vegas for business and love the comforts of the hotel as we live in similar building (a 450 unit 19 story highrise) so for us it's just like being at home. With this being said we are used to the long walks down the hallway to get to the room and the general noises that come with the slamming doors and noisy neighbors. The first time we stayed here we had no issues, except the construction on the strip view side of the hotel, it wasn't too noisy and only slightly disturbed our sleep. This current and 2nd visit, not so trouble free (I'm currently typing this from our room after a busy sleepless night). I made the reservation for a Strip view room (just as before), but when we got to the room (nice and high 15th floor) we were on the pool side. We were immediately greeted with the boomy music from the pool, but that's fine because the pool closes at 8pm. So after getting tucked into bed, at 11pm we are woken by the loud booming music again. Turns out this is Cherry nightclub that's open from 10:30pm - 4am. We call the front desk, got hung up on and left on hold so we put our clothes on and went down there. They switched us to a strip view room on the 6th floor. At 5am we got woken by the cement mixer out front where they are working on the parking structure directly outside. Then, at 6am booming techno music started that was coming from who knows which room (speaking from experience of living in a high rise it is really hard to determine where noise in the building is coming from because of how noise travels in these large buildings). Keep in mind we both sleep with ear plugs and even they provided no relief. I thought it was our neighbor next door but after going into the hallway it turned out not to be. So we survived for an hour with the booming and it finally subsided at 7am. Bottom line, if you like your sleep don't get a red rock view room, get the strip view room as they are almost done with the parking structure construction directly outside of the hotel, they are just working on landscaping and the cosmetic part of the construction (you can see this is my pic). Yes, there is construction across the street but it's far enough away that I could not hear it at all (pic included).

I knew this hotel was going to be a ways off the Strip; however, I thought the pictures on the website made the drive worth it. Luckily, I was right...and in a BIG way! This hotel is divine! Loved the interior decorating...everywhere! The hotel has a way of making every guest feel 5 star. My financee and I absolutely loved it. We're not sure if we'd stay any other place in Vegas!

We stayed at the Red Rock Resort for 7 days and it was fantastic! Check-in was swift and efficient. I had requested a room by the elevator (helpful because some rooms can be a longer walk to the elevator), and even though a strip view room was not available, they gave us a (more expensive) canyon view room for the same rate. The staff was very helpful and friendly with any requests that we had. (When we checked in our room was missing one bathrobe, and after one phone call, they brought it up within 5 minutes). With the restaurants, casino, movie theater and bowling ally on site, there is so much to do there, and the pool area was magnificant! One tip though is to avoid the severely overpriced food at the pool grill -- $14.00 for a hamburger is ridiculous! However it was otherwise terrific. If you head down Charleston Blvd to the Strip, it's only about a 15-20 min drive...not bad! I highly recommend this resort and would stay there again!

I have been coming to the Red Rock every New Years for the last two years and intend on continuing the tradition. We arrive on New Years Day and the Hotel is fairly empty. The hotel itself is a beautiful resort in a breath-taking location. It is the perfect Vegas experience without the hustle and bustle of the Strip. However, should you love everything the Strip has to offer (which I do!!) you are only 13 miles away. During busy hours it can take 30 minutes with traffic, but I have made it to the Strip from the Red Rock in 12 minutes without traffic. It really is the best of both worlds. Cherry Nightclub is a lot of fun and the pool is great for singles, married couples, teenagers, and children. The Spa is a tranquil and relaxing setting and all the procedures I and friends have had are everything we expected and more. I personally recommend the Ashiatsu massage for those that enjoy an interesting and "harder" massage. The Sports Massage is also great for getting your body feeling loose and relaxed. While the prices aren't cheap for the Spa or Hotel, they are certainly comparable to other luxury resorts and definitely worth the money. The slots can be tighter, but that is expected at a higher dollar establishment. I personally don't gamble very much but the facilities are perfect if gambling is your pasttime. They are many varieties of machines and games. However, the cocktail waitresses do not come around as often as other places. The rooms are extremely modern and even the smallest room is a very decent size. I have had both the Strip and Canyon views separate times and they are equally nice depending on ones preference. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathroom is large with a bathtub and plasma screen (which I have enjoyed relaxing in, every time I have been to the Red Rock). There is a movie theatre for kids and although it is a upscale hotel, they do have facilities the kids can enjoy. Many people have complained about the $19.95 resort fee. It is mentioned all over the Red Rock website and they make it clear when you book a room over the phone. Although it is not optional, it allows you to use the pool facilities, the trams to and from the Strip, the gym (which is exceptional for a hotel gym), and Spa. I may be forgetting other things that I have not used. Either way, going to the Spa each day to unwind (whether you have a treatment or not) is worth it. For those that don't believe me, just try it! This establishment is my favorite place to stay off the strip. And as much as I love the Strip, I would rather stay at the Red Rock and drive back and forth to the Strip since this hotel is so amazing! Word to the wise: It is not cheap and if you can't afford it, don't bother. There is no point in going to be miserable about spending so much money and not enjoying a cocktail, dinner, gambling, etc. I have had dinner at different restaurants in there and they are delicious. If you are frugal with money I suggest not staying here, as you may not enjoy it.
