Local residents flock to the resort's sleek casino, but vacationing families dominate the scene, especially at the large pool.
Station Casinos, the company behind the hotel and its sister property in nearby Henderson, Green Valley Ranch, specializes in creating luxury environments without the crowds and over-the-top glitz of the Strip. The luxury is in the details, from the 32-foot-long lobby chandelier made of Swarovski crystals to the burled wood of the casino's Lucky Bar. Set in the dusty terra-cotta hills of Red Rock Canyon in suburban Summerlin, the posh and off-the-beaten-path Red Rock Resort and Spa opened in 2006 as the first billion-dollar luxury resort off the Las Vegas Strip.
