Red Rock Canyon Casino Buffet Reviews Average ratng: 7,2/10 9247 votes

The 800-room hotel and casino Red Rock Resort proved to be the swankier sister, even giving Strip contenders a run for their money. Set right against the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, it’s one of the most picturesque places you can stay, with red-tinged mountains just to the west and the lights of the Strip about 10 miles away.

Located in the West Charleston area of Las Vegas, just before Red Rock Canyon, this off-Strip buffet is one you may want to go to if you don’t mind the 15 minutes drive from the famous Las Vegas Strip (the main casino area); this because just everybody who comes to the Red Rock Buffet leaves more than satisfied, no matter what their eating. Red Rock Resort is located in Summerlin, an upper-middle-class and largely residential suburb of Las Vegas. The area, home to numerous retirement communities, is known for the stunning natural beauty of Red Rock Canyon, where outdoor enthusiasts can find great hiking, biking, and kayaking. Plus, several golf courses dot the region. If the fresh desert air of Red Rock Canyon inspires a desire for similarly fresh food, Krayvings has the answer. Created with hikers, rock climbers and cyclists in mind, the casual restaurant. Redrock Canyon Grill will have you coming back in time and again with bold, fresh flavors! 13505 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park, KS 66223 (913) 239-0202.

Hello everyone!

As promised, here’s my review on my visit to the Red Rock Canyon in Nevada! I have been to Vegas many times and I never knew about this Canyon until my recent stay at the Red Rock Resort. Not only is it a few minutes drive from the resort, it’s also very easy to get to since it shares the same main road as the resort. You know you’re going the right way when you see this!

Check out the beauty of the spectacular desert landscape and sandstone peaks! Pictures speak louder than words.

Located 20 miles west of Las Vegas

I really adored seeing the magnificent natural beauty of the Red Rocks.

I pulled over to Calico Hills I and II (the first two trails) which is an excellent overlook if you’re short on time because you can climb on the formations and be practically “on” the “Red Rocks.”

I inquired at Red Rock Resort‘s hotel concierge before coming and they were certainly very accommodating and helpful. They also gave me an information sheet about the canyon.

QUICK FACT: This area used to be part of the deep ocean basin and the earth’s movements caused this sea-bed to rise slowly. When it got exposed to the atmosphere, it oxidized resulting to these red-orange beauties.

When entering the national park, you’ll be immediately greeted by the visitor center. It is a brand new nature observation area that features extremely well put-together collection of artifacts, photographs, scenes of the ancient inhabitants of the area, and a desert tortoise habitat (a good place to stop by if you do not want to take the scenic drive around the canyon). I am an adventurous girl so I obviously wanted to experience it all. :)

Visitor Center is open every day from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm

I started the driving tour by entering their Scenic Loop Drive (fee is $7 per car to enter the park but really worth it). The 13-mile scenic stretch is a one-way road around the canyon which allowed me to enjoy the breathtaking mountains from different angles. As hot as it was… I was surprised to see a lot of bikers riding there.

While I didn’t get to see any wildlife, there are plenty of tortoises, mountain sheep and wild burros in the desert. Apparently, there are waterfalls out there too! How amazing is that? Watch out for Mojave Max (a local desert tortoise in the area).

Why hello, Mojave Max!

Knowing that I will be surrounded by some unique geological features, plants and animal life, I want to complement with the environment by wearing my cow print one-shoulder romper. It is made of breezy material which makes it perfect for a warm-weather outing like this. I knew that wearing some comfy shoes is a must but I didn’t want to sacrifice any style, therefore, I opted to wear a comfortable pair of wedge shoes made of canvas cloth instead of leather.

There were several parking lots for vista points along the canyon road which allowed access to wonderful views. Here in Red Rock, I was in awe with the gorgeous large red rock formations. It totally reminded me of a trip I did a couple of years back in Sedona, AZ.

The striking, natural colors of the scenery in vivid red, amber, green and yellow were the fantastic backdrop to my bag that day: A light gold yet classic Kate Spade Tote Bag. It carried my camera, a bottle of ice-cold water and sunglasses, great things to bring on a trip out here.
