The recent opening of the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas caused quite a stir. With 3,000 of the newest slot and video games, 62 table games, a 16 screen movie theater, two high-limit areas and a magnificent race and sports book, this off strip hotel ups the ante for top quality Vegas casinos.
The Red Rock Casino was designed by Station Casinos. The inspiration for this hotel was based on two of the company’s top executives’ nostalgia for the “contemporary elegance” that was once a prominent feature of Vegas casinos. As a result, they decided to decorate the Red Rock Casino with an intricate variety of crystal chandeliers in all shapes and sizes. Over three million pieces of crystal were used for these chandeliers. Today, the new Red Rock Casino serves as a monument that commemorates the days of Vegas past.
The casino at the Red Rock Las Vegas has hundreds of penny-based games. High rollers can visit either of the two VIP rooms which proudly offer video poker and slots up to $100. If you are a committed poker fanatic, you will enjoy the Red Rock Las Vegas Poker Room. Open 24 hours for your gaming pleasure, this room features a number of tables which offer Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, and others. Additionally, you will be pleased to know that the Red Rock Las Vegas Poker Room is not exclusive to high-rollers, so feel free to join in the fun.
The Bingo area at the Red Rock Casino and Resort has seating for 610 people. Unlike many other Las Vegas casinos, the Red Rock and Resort Bingo room offers smoking and non-smoking areas.

If you wish to take a day off from the Vegas casinos, Red Rock Nevada is only 15 miles west of downtown Las Vegas. This scenic Nevada attraction gets its name from the beautiful red-colored sandstone formations that adorn its incredible valley. The layered streaks of the red sandstone strata can be seen from most parts of Las Vegas. They add an interesting natural backdrop to the man-made Vegas lights. Indeed, a day trip to Red Rock Nevada offers a temporary escape from the manufactured excitement of Vegas, as well as a chance to enjoy the excitement that Mother Nature herself has to offer.
There a number of fantastic activities to be explored at Red Rock Nevada. You can take a hike, have a picnic, or take photos of the red rock formations, as well as the splendid wildlife, such as burros and mustangs that inhabit the area. Horseback riding is also a popular activity at Red Rock Nevada. At the end of the day, you can return to the Red Rock Resort for some pampering at the spa!
