10 miles from the strip and at a cost just under a billion dollars, Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa may not be the costliest hotel in Vegas, but its certainly trying to create luxury outside the glitz and lights of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Red Rock Casino is opening its doors on casino and is trying to lure the jetsetters to its rugged adventures, spa and blatant decadence. Its the most expensive off-strip casino built in Vegas - double its nearest competitor - but still a few billion off the mega resorts a few miles away.

Whether it succeeds in its mission is yet to be seen, but the hotel and casino is sure going to give it a go

The company is hoping for a five-star rating on the property, which will open with 414 rooms, a 35,000 square-foot spa, 62 table games, 3,200 slot machines and a three-acre pool and beach area that has rental cabanas and outdoor dining.

Upstairs from nine restaurants, a poker room, a 16-screen theater and a sports book with three screens spanning 96 by 18 feet, guests will find rooms equipped with 42-inch plasma TVs and iPod-ready Bose stereo systems. Up to 850 rooms are to be ready by early next year.
