A four night eventful stay at Red Rock Resort December 2014\n\nGood: 12 miles from the strip, free parking, shuttles to strip and airport, plenty of places to eat and drink, 5 minutes from incredible hikes, GIANT sports book, Spa heated lap pool.\n\nNot Good: 12 miles from strip, Reservation got screwed up, plumbing problems (toilet overflowed dreaded sewage release) smoky casino, outdoor pool not much use when it's 35 degrees, GIANT sports book hundreds of people waiting in line.\n\nFirst night reservation got screwed up (blamed on Expedia) one guest slept on cot, second night moved to room with overflowing toilet, third night had a talk with Jonathon who knocked off resort fee 27.99 a night. We didn't have time to do the Canyon tour so our concierge Stephanie provided a map and directions to Calico Hills and that was the highlight of our trip hiking into the red rocks. Had a blast at Yard House watching Hawks game and doing shots of Cassadore.\n\nStreet Drummer on the strip \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_yCGpzHkF8
