I have stayed at the Red Rock five times in the past two years and each time was a wonderful experience. Red Rock Canyon itself is (of course) beautiful, and is a great change of pace from the usual Vegas strip view. The hotel itself is within five minutes of several of the best golf courses in Vegas. There is an excellent mix of tables in the casino that range from low stakes to high rollers. Plus - poolside blackjack in the summer! The hotel itself is gorgeous and the pool is in the top three in all of Vegas (recently featured in the movie "21"). The rooms are modern, clean, and beautiful, and the bed is extremely comfortable. My first visit I actually bought the pillows off my bed and now sleep on them every night. Yes, the Red Rock is very far from the strip, but if you're looking for a relaxing resort vacation this is actually a plus. Summerlin is a beautiful neighborhood with excellent dining options. If you plan on going to the strip, the best option is to rent a car at the airport. It's much cheaper than cabs and more convenient than shuttles. If you have kids there is a great deal for them to do at the Red Rock as well. In addition to the pool there is a bowling alley, food court, movie theater, arcade, and a Kids Quest. The hotel also has a number of family friendly restaurants (I particularly recommend the rock shrimp burritos at the Mexican restaurant). The staff at the Red Rock are very helpful and courteous. I have had two visits where I actually got to the hotel early and was given an early check in. I have always felt very welcome and appreciated by the staff. I have never had a major issue at the hotel and the minor ones have been handled perfectly. Bottom line - this is the best hotel in Vegas if you're traveling with your family. If you want a strip vacation there are a number of perfectly good hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard. If you're looking for a relaxing resort vacation (spa, dining, pool, golf, outdoor activities at Red Rock Canyon, and perhaps a little gambling) this is THE place to stay.
