M Resort

Red Rock Resort is one of our favorite hotels in the entire city. We bring this up here because in many ways, M Resort is a lot like Red Rock: beautifully designed, lots to do, great value (in comparison to the Strip), and roughly 9 bazillion miles from anything you're going to want to do in Las Vegas. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but when you're sitting in the inevitable traffic on the roughly 10-mile slog north on I-15 to the southern end of the Strip, it will seem like 9 bazillion miles. But that's really the only downside here. The hotel is stunning, with an abundant use of natural elements (wood, stone, crystal, mother of pearl ceilings) and huge windows that flood the entire property with light. The designers wanted to bring the outside in and they succeeded, creating one of the most airy and light spaces in town.

Rooms are large at about 550 square feet, many with great views of the city off in the distance (9 bazillion miles, remember), which you can even see while soaking in the tubs -- there are windows from the bathroom into the bedroom. Glossy streamlined furnishings give them a mod feeling and everything is the highest of high-tech. To power up the room you have to insert your key into a holder next to the door. Remove it and everything shuts off, maintaining your settings for when you return.

On-site you'll find a 95,000-square-foot casino with all the latest bells and whistles, several restaurants include a branch of the fantastic Hash House a Go Go and the interactive Studio B Buffet (complete with its own television studio), multiple bars and lounges, a spa/salon/gym facility, a very nicely landscaped pool area, and the hotel's very own wine cellar. And should you need a refill, there is even an on-site pharmacy where you can use points earned on your players' club card to pay for your prescriptions. Welcome to Vegas!

With prices, on average, about half of what you would pay for similar digs on the Strip, it almost makes that 9-bazillion-mile trek worth considering.
