TR SNIPPET RED ROCK POOL

I tried the pool at Red Rock in the afternoon and the jacuzzi. It was heated and warm water issued from the jets, but the heating was poor and the pool was pretty chilly. I don't mind, but others were challenged by it.

I was there until the pool closed and went out the wrong door. That door allowed no reentry, so I had to wander the casino a bit, dripping, to find my hotel room. Had I exited where I entered the elevators, would have been right there.

The second day I swam just before the 4 PM closing. This time I brought along another warm shirt and wrapped it around my towel in a small bundle that was not visible to the pool attendants. Otherwise that towel would also have been picked up as they prepared to close. I also took better note of where to exit.

There are bathrooms located near the exit to the hotels.

The second day was very windy. The water was colder, but I found once in I was used to it quickly. I wore a shirt and my Wolf cap. I think that keeps me warmer.

One morning I went to the spa which opens at 6AM. This is included in the resort fees that I did not have to pay. It was grand. The steam room was steamy. The dry rock room was dry. Two pools were there as well, large enough to almost swim when I was alone. One was hot and one cold.

Overall, I really liked the Red Rock hotel experience. I am sorry they only give one night at the MyVegas now. I might pay for another night next trip or combine it with a road trip as I did this time. It is more expensive than my usual, especially since I really need to rent a car to see the canyon.

However, the value might be worth the expense.
