Red Rock Station (11 miles from the Strip): The Red Rock features all the typical Vegas treats -- gambling, good food, live entertainment -- plus extra goodies, such as a movie theater and bowling. But what really separates the relatively new resort from its brethren is its location. Nestled up against picture-perfect sandstone cliffs, Red Rock provides just about everything for the nature enthusiast, including rock climbing, kayaking down the Colorado River and horseback riding.
