The Restaurant at Red Rock

"Restaurants serve up a wide variety of food selections, among them a stellar steakhouse T-Bones, a really good and affordable buffet, and a food court that knocks it up a notch with a Capriotti’s outlet, offering some of the best submarine sandwiches we’ve ever tasted"

"None of the nine restaurants has celebrity chef status, but Salt Lick BBQ, imported from Austin, has ribs, pulled pork, and brisket When to go: Any time of the year"

"Red Rock has a large pool area, a 16-screen movie theater, a bowling alley, a vast selection of excellent restaurants (some with outdoor patios), and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows"

"Nearly 30 minutes from the frenzy of the Strip, this desert oasis nonetheless offers Vegas-level glamour -- it boasts snazzy rooms, an impressive pool complex, a renowned spa, 10 restaurants, 10 bars and lounges, a multiplex movie theater, and a 72-lane bowling alley"
