Las Vegas is widely known as a party town, but Nevada's biggest city also has many draws for business travelers.
More than 3 million people visit Vegas every month, and a sizable percentage of them aren't there just to play the slots and take in a show. Sin City attracts professionals from multiple industries for its world-class lodgings, fine dining and extensive variety of business services.
In 2018, Vegas was pronounced the top trade show destination in the United States for the 24th year running. Low air fares and a surfeit of lodging options make it a popular location for meetings and conferences.
There's no reason that business trips need to be dull and antiseptic. Las Vegas has options for the professional traveler that provide both essential resources and relaxation, and one of the best is the Red Rock Resort.
Located in the Las Vegas Valley, Red Rock is a sprawling high-end property that opened its doors in 2006 and has seen multiple expansions since then. Nestled against the scenic Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, stunning views of the Vegas strip welcome guests in over 800 luxe rooms and suites. The resort's elegant decor and top-quality service make it a prime choice for meetings and business events.
It's difficult to list all of the amenities that Red Rock Resort provides for business travelers. While it's one of the Valley's prime destinations for tourist travel, it was built to host meetings, conferences and events as well.
The on-site business center features workstation rentals, print, fax and shipping services, and more at reasonable prices.
For meetings and events, Red Rock Resort boasts a wide variety of rooms and conference spaces, measuring over 100,000 square feet with unmatched flexibility in scheduling. Five full-sized ballrooms and fifteen breakout rooms, all with direct access to the hotel lobby, can accommodate groups from 15 to 500. Many of the meeting rooms also feature private balconies and views for added ambience. Meetings & Conventions Magazine pronounced their setup "one of the top destinations for events in Las Vegas."
The hotel's luxurious suites offer a different experience for meetings and events. The luxury Top of the Rock suite is bound to impress with its floor-to-ceiling windows, dining table for 10 and private patio with incredible views of the Vegas strip. The 7,500 square foot 180 Suite might be even cooler, boasting a full bar, private Jacuzzi and in-suite theater.
Red Rock Resort's butler service for elite suite guests offers a personal assistant to help with all of your business travel needs. They meet you at the curb, escort you to your room, provide unpacking, folding and garment pressing services, as well as shoeshines, cigar deliveries and off-property errands. It's an incredible luxury that strips the stress from your stay, allowing you to focus on being your best at meetings.
A number of catering and food service options are available for events, from continental breakfasts and hors d'oeuvres to full plated meals.
Pressed for time on your way to an appointment? Grab a bite at the resort's food court, which features nine quick-service eateries including Starbucks and Villa Pizza.
Red Rock hosts a number of award-winning restaurants for meals with clients or alone. T-Bone's Chophouse is the facility's anchor, a classical Las Vegas steakhouse with a 7500 bottle wine loft, world-class service and an extensive menu of dry-aged beef, seafood and other dishes. Their daily social mingle from 4 to 7 p.m. is a prime networking opportunity.
For something a little lighter, the 8 Noodle Bar serves up vibrant, exciting Asian fusion to diverse diners. Other on-site restaurants include Grand Cafe's American-style bistro menu of over 100 items and Lucille's Smokehouse Barbecue, an award-winning Southern food empire that hosts live blues every Saturday night. The massive Feast Buffet offers diners a classic Vegas buffet experience that ranges wildly across world cuisines.
When you clock out, you don't have to go far to blow off some steam. The entertainment options here are robust and extensive, ranging from casino gambling and sports betting to nightlife. Red Rock has eight bars, including the poolside Sandbar, the luxurious Onyx and the hip Rocks Lounge, which features a vibrant dance floor and entertainment nearly every night of the week.
One of the biggest draws is Red Rock Lanes, which when it opened in 2006 was the most expensive bowling alley in the world at a total cost of $31 million. That spend went to a massive, high-tech setup that includes 72 Brunswick Pro Anvil lanes with 42" screens between each lane, a set of 30 roll-down projection screens, and the ability to sequester off VIP suites in 4, 8 and 12-lane configurations.
The attached lounge features pool tables, darts, shuffleboard and more. An on-site snack bar will keep you and your guests fueled up.
If you feel like catching a movie, the on-site Regal Cinemas has sixteen screens of first-run programming, comfortable seats and a quality snack selection including hot buttered popcorn.
Need something a little more relaxing? The resort's Well & Being spa offers a wide range of wellness services, from facials and skin care to deep tissue massage. The on-site hair salon offers cleanups and makeovers to freshen you up for meetings. Red Rock's' fitness facility also hosts group classes including wall yoga and pilates.
A short 20 minute drive from McCarren Airport, Red Rock Resort is serviced by daily scheduled shuttles and also offers complimentary valet and self-parking. Numerous activities in the surrounding area are well-suited for business outings, which the resort can book for you. Horseback riding, river rafting and other outdoors activities can bond teams together and build client relationships. For something more conventional, enjoy a round of golf at one of five courses within six miles of the resort's front door.
Elite suite guests are also provided with private ground transportation to get them where they need to go in style.
Once you're back in your room, fire off the last few emails of the day with complimentary high speed WiFi internet before enjoying a quiet, peaceful night's sleep.
Red Rock Resort was named one of the world's best new hotels by Conde Nast Traveler the year it opened, and has continued to rack up awards since. With over a decade of excellence, it occupies a unique space in the city's hotel ecosystem that is perfect for business travelers who want something a little extra.
