-I haven't been to Red Rock since the first year it opened so I wont speak too much about it. I recall it being beautiful but a little boring. More workers than customers when I went.
- I used to be a big fan of the "M" but the buffet went down hill, and the offers/comps went downhill, and it seems like I'm always the only person in there under the age of 80. I've skipped it the last few trips.
- Its been 2 years since I visited GVR. GVR has a Capriotti's on site which is enough to make me give it a thumbs up. But again...it can be really slow sometimes.


The best locals casinos to play tend to be ones where you would not want to stay at IMO. Example: I love the energy and low limit games at Texas Station but I would never stay there. If I had to name one off strip place that combines great rooms and a fun casino I would answer "The Palms".


Love the Palms

I wouldn't call RR boring. The place is packed on weekends after about 3:00 in the afternoon. Lots of choices on eating and some of them are even pretty good...but except for the steak house they are really loud (too loud for normal conversation). The eye candy is excellent.
Last stay was GVR (first in about 2 years) and we have written it off our list...just too many problems. Locals do keep it packed on the weekends tho.

I meant to say "fares" and not "fees".

To and from the airport and if you travel anywhere else not nearby.

Well if you do make it Red Rock, I love the sports book, the burger place, and Zowie Bowie plays there on weekends. It is much plusher looking than Green Valley. I have never stayed overnight. My only overnight stay at Green Valley ended up being a major upgrade to a huge suite, so I don't know how to compare rooms.

Do you play MyVegas? RR and GVR both have rewards you can get with MLife loyalty points.

Of the three places you've listed, I've only been to The M. If I'm going to stay at a hotel/casino that isn't on/ close to the strip or downtown, the South Point is my first choice.
