Best Preferred Lifestyle Collection Hotels in Las Vegas

Although the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa is about a 30-minute drive from the Strip, it's still a good bet for travelers who want to gamble in a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere. The enormous 87,000-square-foot casino is airy and open, echoing the resort's design elements of natural wood, stonework and warm, amber-hued light fixtures. Recent guests loved the rooms, listing the Egyptian cotton linens, iPod docks and spacious bathrooms with soaking bathtubs as favorite features. And the popular backyard area – 3 acres of space speckled with wading and swimming pools, a sandy beach and private cabanas – is also a big hit with travelers. The resort is also home to multiple dining options and a spa. If you start to get a little stir crazy, though, there's a complimentary shuttle that will drop you off at Fashion Show Mall on the Strip.

A local favorite, Green Valley Ranch is an off-Strip resort that revels in its quieter atmosphere. Travelers love the on-site restaurants like Hank's Fine Steaks and Tides Seafood & Sushi Bar, and give high praise to the approachable and friendly staff members. Despite the picturesque vineyards and Italianate architecture, the hotel still provides a Sin City vibe. The casino area has gaming tables and a popular Race & Sports Book, as well as a multiscreen movie theater. Several bars are peppered around the property from the lobby to the pool. And when you want to relax, head to the on-site spa for a massage or body scrub. What's more, iPrefer members can earn perks and use points at this property.
