The best off-Strip resort in Vegas. The views of Red Rock Canyon are spectacular. The pool is excellent. The casino is the best locals casino in the valley.
The SuperBook is the best sportsbook in Vegas. The hotel is fine. Elvis played here for seven years. The location is close to the convention center.
Reopened under San Manuel Tribal ownership with a $690 million renovation. The art collection is the most impressive in Vegas. The rooms are exceptional.
