Red Rock Resort Gets An Organic Burger Joint
September 12, 2008 at 12:17 PM | 2 Comments
Clearly inspired by our summertime rundown of the Best Hidden Hotel Burger Shops, Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas is opening up their own hotspot for our favorite meaty treats.
LBS: A Burger Joint is set to open September 23 and will feature a selection of glorious natural, fresh nom-noms including a very special burger patty touted as:
dry aged, all-natural hamburger, selected and ground fresh daily. The meat comes from cattle raised naturally and allowed to graze over managed grass and clover pastures without any growth hormones, antibiotics or chemicals; just as Mother Nature intended.

Red Rock Resort & Spa: Semi-Conscious Review
May 23, 2007 at 2:12 PM | 1 Comment
Finally, we have our review with video of the Red Rock Resort & Spa in Summerlin, just a half-hour outside the Strip. Prior to getting here, we heard nothing but good things from Vegas locals about the place. If you didn't know, anyone who works in Vegas doesn't really live in Vegas nor do they go to the Strip often for recreation. So the Red Rocks with its nightclub Cherry and fancy T-Bones steakhouse restaurant, along with bowling lanes and a movie theater, is a recreation spot for the locals.
And they were right. We really liked the place but you have to be prepared to come here knowing that the Strip is far away. If you're okay with that, then you'll have a great stay at the Red Rock Resort.
[Note: Something is screwy with the video. It stops after the pre-roll. Just drag the cursor player a bit after the 5 second mark and the rest of the video should play.]

Snapshot: Red Rock's Bathtub TV
May 21, 2007 at 3:59 PM | 0 Comments
Aside from attending the Bon Appetit Culinary & Wine Focus in Vegas this past weekend, we were also able to check out the Red Rocks Resort & Spa about a half-hour from the Strip in Summerlin.
We'll have a full review tomorrow including video but for now here's a snapshot of the hotel room's bathroom with a flat-screen TV above the tub. This is just one of the many things we liked about the Red Rocks.
However, keep in mind this place is way off the Strip, even though the TripAdvisor address is listed as Las Vegas. So just remember if you stay here, it's at least at $50 cab ride to the Strip. You're better off gambling at the Red Rocks blackjack table poolside.

It's 10pm and Red Rock Casino Knows Where Your Children Are
June 21, 2006 at 9:45 AM | 0 Comments
The Red Rock Resort and Casino opened with a bang (Sting, anyone?) and has some of the hippest nightlife to enjoy off the strip.
But underage teenagers are not welcome. The resort is now launching a curfew effort (see "scary" news graphic, right) to make sure kids are out of sight by the time the clubs and bars start pumping. According to a hotel spokesperson:
"We feel that there's plenty of time for those under 21 to enjoy our movie theaters and restaurants and our arcade. But there comes a time and a place where we believe the casino should be enjoyed by those who are 21 and over."
So beginning at 9pm, kids will be rounded up and asked to finish up whatever they are doing. And just in case you didn't know, minors are not allowed on Las Vegas Boulevard after 10pm during the week and 9pm on the weekends.
Wow, it used to be that kids bought laminating machines to make fake IDs so they could buy booze and cigarettes. Now, they have to do it just to walk on the strip.

Suite Gear: Red Rocks Las Vegas
May 1, 2006 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments
Now that the opening festivities at the Red Rocks Las Vegas have died down, we can focus on what the rooms are actually like.
Well, at least what the expensive Grand Villa and Presidential suite are like.
The first is the largest suite in the hotel with 3,090 square feet. The presidential suite has 2,575. Both have two master bedrooms with:
50-inch, high-definition plasma TVs; 42-inch and 65-inch high-definition plasma TVs in the main room; motorized drapes; CD/DVD players with surround sound; voice-over IP phones; Bose sound systems with iPod interconnectivity; and butler service paging systems.
The suites also have spa-like bathrubs and bidets with motion sensors that open the lid when you approach.
For recreation, there is a a pool table, a backlit onyx-topped bar, and another bar on a private patio with a private sound system.
Britney Spears recently stayed here and other high rollers who can afford dropping $5,500 to $10,000 a night, will probably also take advantage of the motion sensor bidets.

Cindy Crawford: Cherry Popper
April 26, 2006 at 10:45 AM | 3 Comments
Last week was all about the opening of the Red Rocks Las Vegas Resort. Now we have photographic evidence of the opening festivities, which our faithful but camera deficient spy could not provide.
As you can see, Randy Gerber and supermodel wife Cindy Crawford got down at the opening of the hotel's nightclub, Cherry. Judging from the gigantic cartoonish cherry out front, we are guessing this is Randy's foray into a pop art bar scene.
But he should probably be focusing on other things--like his wife. Cindy was grinding at the party with Jim Belushi (random!) and the photo makes us feel slightly uncomfortable because Cindy looks kinda into it.

Hotel Openings: Red Rock's Festivities

[Ed. Note: As promised, we have some amazingly detailed scoop on the Red Rock Resort & Spa opening party and Sting's concert. This place went all out for their opening and our spy has the first reviews on the rooms but sadly no pictures. Enjoy.]
The hotel is a cross between at Mandalay and an Ian Schrager-esque design. Comfy beds, overpriced minibar with the classy auto-tracking so when you take an item off the table for more than a few seconds, your room gets charged.
More Red Rock review after the jump.

Sting Rocks Red Rock

We got spies everywhere! In Miami, and Hong Kong and now Las Vegas.
The Red Rock Resort & Spa opened last night just off the strip, and we are told that Sting put on a private concert. Hmmm..could he be mulling the career paths of Celine Dion and Elton John?
Unfortunately, we have no other details than that except it was "sick." (That means amazing in 20-something-year-old guy lingo.)
When we can, we'll continue to update the opening festivities.
