I went to Vegas to visit family and decided to stay at the Red Rock Casino.  This hotel is not on the strip but located near Red Rock Canyon which is absolutely beautiful.  People think of Vegas for gambling, glitz, showgirls and alcohol and that certainly is a side of Vegas, but it is also a place to see Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead.  It’s a place you can take family to and have something for the whole family to do.  My children loved seeing Hoover Dam, and we loved hiking through the beautiful Red Rock Canyon.  I would also recommend Bonnie Springs Ranch.which has horseback riding, a petting farm, and shows in there Western town.  You can easily spend a day there. As far as Red Rock Casino, I wasn’t really impressed.  Service was poor at the hotel front desk, and we had problems with our rooms which the hotel staff didn’t really care about.   We were inconvenienced for the first two days of out sta My brother lost the lights in his bathroom and when they came to fix it they left his door open,  The first room we were placed in was filthy  Restaurants however were good in the hotel, the casino workers were great as were the valet staff.  We enjoyed the LOVE Cirque du Soleil show in the Mirage and we traveled up to the top of the Effiel Tower in Paris and enjoyed spectacular views of the strip and Vegas.  My children loved Siegfried and Royce magic garden at the Mirage too!
