Best for families and event-goers who want quick access to the Strip and large on-site entertainment (arena, bowling, movie theater).

Best for travelers who want a more upscale, resort-style stay away from the Strip with a larger spa, modern conference facilities and Summerlin access.
When The Orleans wins: Choose The Orleans if you want to be near the Las Vegas Strip without staying on it, need family-friendly amenities (children’s pool, arcade, bowling, movie theater), or are attending an event at Orleans Arena.
When Red Rock wins: Choose Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa if you want a higher-end property with a large full-service spa, more meeting space, modern desert-style rooms and a resort geared to both locals and upscale leisure travelers.
Bottom line: Both are off-Strip casino resorts, but they serve different priorities—The Orleans for families, arena/event access and large, casual entertainment; Red Rock for an upscale, full-service resort experience farther west in Summerlin.
