Hello to all in Las Vegas.  

All of the hotels you suggested are considered nice hotels.
Westin Lake Las Vegas this hotel is way away from the strip very far and quite confusing to get to the property in the evening.I remember going to that property a couple years ago and if I can remember correctly there was a $10 fee to park the car in valet.
You could try the Westin that is located on Flamingo Blvd. right off the of strip that is a lot closer than the Lake Las Vegas.

about 15 minutes from the strip right off Summerlin Prkwy. on Rampart. Was just there for a business conference, so I didn't play, to many associates around, but the separate tower behind the main building was very nice.  

Thanks Jaydalee, sounds like Lake Las Vegas is a no go…another one I'm looking at is the Element in Summerlin. Any info on that property? Thanks.

I've done several photo shoots out in the red rocks too… love it out there...

My recommendation would be Red Rock. it has a more trendier and more fun "adult" type vibe than Green Valley Ranch. Better, livelier casino as well. Even the basic rooms are huge and VERY nice, so I could only imagine what the suites are like. As far as restaurants, the edge goes to Red Rock again. They both have their own movie theatre in case you want to catch a flick. However, if you like to bowl, Red Rock lanes has been featured on the travel channel and is the BEST in vegas. They have cosmic bowling at night where they turn the lights down, and along with a light/video show, the pins, lanes and balls all glow. The lanes also have a snap bar, pro shop and pool tables. Also, Yardhouse at Red Rock has one of the best happy hours in town. Jw Marriott in Summerlin is a Very nice property with rooms comparable to Red Rock and Green Valley, but boring casino with so so restaurants that provide so so service. Can't recommend. Elements isn't a resort dude. Nice property, but you're gonna have to venture out for entertainment, meals, and basically everything else. The rooms do have kitchenettes with microwave, fridge etc. Hope this helps.

This is a Westin property very nice rooms and conveniently located next to the 215 Fwy.
There is a gas station right there if you need snacks or drinks.
Across the street there is some restaurants but there is not too much around it since it is located in a residential neighborhood.

South Point is pretty good - about 2-3 miles south on the strip. Easy on/off the 15 and a variety of restaurants. Rooms are nice and the prices reasonable.

I would recommend the M resort

I love the M resort, the rooms are great, the buffet is huge with an assortment of all kind of little goodies.
The spa is a little pricey but worth every penny.  Anthony's steak house is delicious one of my favorites. Hope that helps.

Folks it looks like Red Rock is a no brainer for me, especially if endorsed by Jaydalee, Shayla, and Lorena…no way a guy could go wrong with their recommendations!

...that it's unacceptable practice to kiss ass, dude!!  Ir could result, well at least with the referenced ladies, getting YOUR ass kissed!!  

Well the thought never crossed my mind until you mentioned it, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

 ....and that AIN'T a bad thing!!  

Yes sir, I agree. Might not be a task for the faint of heart for a newbie like me…best left to the professionals.

Re: Red Rock .. Surrounded by beauty all over. wink eom

As a resident of the neighborhood, I agree that there is lots of surrounding beauty!  :

The ones I've stayed at off the strip were Palace Station (wasnt bad, food was cheap esp in the bar & rooms were nice), Orleans (more restaurants there plus bowling, bingo; rooms werent bad but each time I stayed there, I had problems w/the AC units not shutting off) and Sunset Station (loved their suites esp the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom one) plus theirs a strip mall acroos the street to get food there.
