Red Rock Casino: A Different Side of Las Vegas

Ten miles from the bright lights of Sin City, nestled near the entrance to a scenic national conservation area, is the priciest off-Strip casino resort ever built in Las Vegas. Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, which opened April 18, is hoping to lure people away from the Las Vegas Strip to an opulent vacation spot set against the western mountains. Just like resorts in the heart of Vegas, you can gamble here, be pampered in a spa, indulge in a fine meal or party in a decadent nightclub.

But unlike resorts in town, Red Rock, which cost nearly a billion dollars to build also offers instant access to rugged adventures. "We're really capitalizing on the great outdoors, being so close to Red Rock Canyon," spokeswoman Lori Nelson said. "By day, it's truly a resort experience. You hang out at the pool, get your spa treatments, go do some adventure hiking, and at night you have the excitement of Vegas. "The resort's offerings include an 'Adventure Spa' with guided activities such as horseback riding, hikes in nearby Valley of Fire State Park, mountain biking and rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon. Prices for the outings range from $59 for a vehicle tour of Red Rock Canyon to $175 for a raft trip.
