Coolers forbidden at the Red Rock Casino

Interesting story and policy.

No cooler for you! Next!

Good for Red Rock.

I have a round, collapsable cooler that we place on top of our luggage; has a medical company name on it (a freebie from my last job) and never gets noticed

the security guard handled it pretty badly, but the policy doesn't bother me one bit

I think your right. The policy isn't a show stopper but that kind of customer service is.

If you don't like coolers, don't bring one. Next thing you know they'll be outlawing coffee pots.

When i first read the title,i thought it meant the state park then i saw it was the resort. What a crock of a policy,i've never had trouble taking a cooler into a place with me. That would've pissed me off big time on all counts.The response of 'read the fine print"thing would've really burned me as well.

That's not the only hotel casino in Vegas that his this policy.

The only other hotel I've heard of so far with a "no cooler policy" is the Hard Rock.

I will speak for the other side. I love bringing a small cooler and keeping it in my room. I usually store water, beer, booze, and fruit in it. I don't like paying $7 for a bottle of water that is $1 to $2 at the store. I don't like paying $6 or $7 per bottle of beer (plus tip) in the bar down in the casino, when I can buy it for a fraction of that at a store. I don't flaunt it (the cooler), but it lets me spend money elsewhere on a trip. I always take it right to my room. I would never carry a cooler with me while out and about inside the casino.

I have been to the Red Rock, but have never stayed there. They have just given me a good reason to not stay there.

[EDIT] I have an upcoming stay in Vegas in September. One night is at Green Valley Ranch, a hotel/casino owned by the same parent company. The article doesn't mention anything about a ban at other Station casinos. I plan to take a cooler. I will let you know if they stop me.
