Red Rock

There the guest will enjoy offers views of both the red cliffs and the Las Vegas Valley.

The beef is all USDA Prime, aged, hand-cut and cooked over mesquite. The menu also has many other choices including salmon, veal and pork, sauces and 18 side dishes. The Salt Lick Barbecue is a replica of the famous Driftwood, Texas original. The original idea was to replicate wagon train recipes, so the plates and sauces are simple, but tasty. Meats are slow cooked. The décor is stone, with lots of Texas accents. Terra Rossa is a genuine Italian restaurant set in a romantic Tuscan con-text. The Cabo Mexican Restaurant offers authentic Mexican Baja food, salsas and over 130 menu items. The large bar specializes in frozen margaritas.

Cherry is the swank nightclub at Red Rock Resort & Casino. Its warm, red atmosphere is inviting to guests as they pass through the red-lit, mirrored tube to the circle bar and then to the heart of the club. The décor was inspired by the canyon outside. The club has VIP areas and couches as well as the Las Vegas stripper pole. A circular dance floor and an all-digital sound network make this an ideal dance location. Cherry also opens to the outside to a big fire pit, a water feature, another island bar, eight cabanas and rotating day beds.

Many of Red Rock’s guests consider the main attraction of the resort to be the three-acre pool, with adjacent smaller pools in the cabana area and Jacuzzis. There is an "interactive" fountain, private pool areas, 19 private cabanas and a beach. And of course, there’s swim-up drinking and gaming, a pool island and a café. The pool area is also a popular entertainment venue for concerts and private events.

The resort offers some shopping convenience, but the serious shopper should plan to go to Canyon Pointe Shopping Center, which is about ½ mile away.
