The resort, part of the Station Casinos group, is located on the 215 Beltway about 10 miles west of the Strip and 20 minutes or so from McCarran Airport, depending upon traffic. Red Rock Resort, located west of the city in the Summerlin area, is a striking property than combines all of the features of a Strip resort while located in proximity to beautiful Red Rock Canyon, a hiking and biking paradise.
Most of these venues cannot rival the glory of Strip hotels, but there is one exception. For most of us “locals,” a plethora of off-strip hotels and casinos meet our gaming and “vacation” needs.
Like most people of a certain age who live in the Las Vegas environs, we seldom go down to the Strip unless getting together with visiting friends from out of town.
