Quick Take: It's a gorgeous, high-end resort that rivals the Strip, but the steep resort fees and 20-minute drive to Las Vegas Boulevard mean you'll need a car or Uber to see the main sights.
Reviewed by @lindsayvtravels: My stay in this Red Rock suite was exactly the upscale Vegas escape I needed. Having a massive living room to unwind in was great, but soaking in that gorgeous marble bathtub after a long day was the absolute highlight. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!
