GVR vs. Red Rock vs M

[hytail]

Been to all three, but never stayed. Did the best on slots at GVR - crowd seemed older, but on property food options did not impress me. M was ok, but got sick from the buffet (not sure why I tried it, but all the hype about how good it is I guess got me, usually do not like buffets). RR is a nice property with decent casual food options and the Yard House is good - excellent offsite food options and of course there is Wonderboogie sometimes on the property.

Like someone stated earlier, the drink service is for the most part non-existent - unfortunately at all three IMO. But that turned out okay as I was driving.

Dina I'm no help except to say I stayed at RR ~4-5 years ago and loved the property. I have heard since then things had changed wrt comps but regarding the property it was beautiful.

Good luck and looking forward to hearing what you decide to do.

I also like playing at south point. It doesn't get mentioned much here.

I like South Point too- good selection of games and its a big casino. I just haven't had much luck or stayed there yet. I would recommend it though to someone who wanted to try an off strip property, and not be too far away from the strip or airport.

As usual the only help I can offer is encouragement so I'm sure whatever you choose you will make it a fun time.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts! South point and east side cannery are on my radar now.

I really want to eat at Hearthstone, a new restaurant in RR. So one option I'm thinking of is to stay at Element in Summerlin and get my SPG points and drive over to RR (a few miles away) for dinner and slotting.

If GVR comes down in price I'll stay there. Or as mentioned may try south point.

Looks like it's going to be a packed trip. Straight No Chaser, Jimmy Buffett, Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire, and MJOne! Before we head to AZ and Sedona and then my parents house.

Gambling at all 3 of those properties is terrible lately I have been to red rock twice in the last few months and blew through my bankroll very quickly I have been to GVR once and the same story. The M i also have only been once and did decent there still left a loser but money lasted longer.

If I wanted to try an off-strip place that's markedly different in terms of payback than the strip places, what would you recommend? Especially if I decide to stay at the Element place, I can be a complete free agent in terms of slotting that night And maybe would just pop into RR for Hearthstone for dinner.

Honestly I hate recommending places to people only because I dont want to be responsible if u lose hahaha. I can only give u my opinion. I have not played at any properties off of boulder highway so i cant speak for those.There is suncoast in the summerlin area thats a good place to play IMO. Rampart is hit and miss the orleans is not that great IMO. Norrhside cannery is good but im biased there because thats where my wife works😄. What I can recommend to you is to stay where it looks nice and u dont necessarily have to play there.

Not sure if you have Marriott status, but I really enjoyed the JW Marriott/Rampart Casino in Summerlin. Their video poker is excellent (don't think you play much of that?) and there is a good mix of new & old slots. The crowd is old and laid back which is fine with me. I came home significantly up from my 2 night stay there and I slept like a baby in their bed. The pool area was very pretty.

Just in case you're not confused enough - HHH

@Nhcris, that's also in the Summerlin area, right? I don't have marriott status so I'd rather get spg points and stay at Element but maybe I'll play there and get dinner at RR first. Why am I making this so complicated? :crazy:
