Can a lavish new casino resort in Nevada lure Vegas lovers away from the Strip? Red Rock Station is located fifteen minutes west of Las Vegas in Red Rock Canyon. The billion-dollar resort has views of the Red Rock Canyon and of the Vegas strip. The resort has opened with 414 rooms available and will eventually have another 436 (for a total of 850) by the end of the year. Despite the large amount of rooms, the hotel is aiming for a boutique hotel feel. Guests won't have to cross the casino to get to their rooms. Room details include 42” high-definition plasma televisions, iPod docking stations, automated private bars and 15” LCD televisions. All rooms have views over Red Rock Mountains or the Las Vegas Strip. There is a three-acre pool with swim-up blackjack tables and the hotel will over a large spa with a lap pool, yoga garden and "adventure activities" like rock climbing and white water rafting. There are nine restaurants and a variety of entertainment options including Cherry, a nightclub designed by Rande Gerber. Rates start at $129 per night and a spa weekend that includes two night in a Strip view room and two spa treatments costs $381.
