Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa

Elegant, hip and fun for all ages, Green Valley Ranch accomplishes much more than most off-Strip properties. The resort successfully captures the exclusive feeling of a boutique hotel while maintaining a family-friendly environment and providing the excitement expected from a Las Vegas casino.

Surrounded by upscale shopping and four nearby championship golf courses, Green Valley Ranch offers an all-inclusive vacation experience with a wide variety of dining, nightlife, entertainment and gaming options on a well-manicured, eight-acre property. Located only a short drive away from the Strip, the resort provides an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist spots with convenient access to the I-215 and McCarran International Airport.

Luxury is the norm at Green Valley Ranch, beginning with the rooms. Guests enjoy top-of-the-line amenities including down comforters, wireless internet access, private bars, complimentary daily newspaper delivery and plush robes. Rooms offer breathtaking views from floor-to-ceiling windows of the skyline or the valley's expansive mountain ranges.

High rollers and casual gamblers alike will easily find action in the European-inspired casino with more than 2,200 slot and video poker machines and 55 table games including blackjack, pai gow poker, craps, roulette and mini-baccarat. The 22-table, smoke-free poker room is open 24 hours a day. The state-of-the-art race and sports book includes a VIP section with private booths, each featuring its own television. A 400-seat bingo hall offers eight sessions a day.

Guests are not only treated -- but also will eat -- like royalty, with diverse delicacies to please any craving, from the fine dining of Hank's steakhouse to the comfort food of the Turf Grill and Grand Café. The Feast Buffet offers all-you-can-eat tastes from around the globe with six live-action cooking stations. There are exotic Chinese favorites in China Spice. Plus, Terra Verde has Italian-style food in a elegant atmosphere, and Tides Oyster Bar is renowned for its fresh seafood.

Upon venturing out to The District at Green Valley Ranch guests will find even more dining options. Located next to the resort -- across from the 10-screen Regal Cinemas -- is the pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined shopping area that captures a quaint downtown feel with lofts located above the more than 50 sophisticated shops and restaurants, including Ann Taylor Loft, Anthropologie, Chico's, Elephant Bar, Gymboree, King's Fish House, Pottery Barn, REI, Talbots and Williams-Sonoma.

After a day of shopping, Green Valley Ranch offers a multitude of entertainment and nightlife options for showing off your new wares. Beer pong and live music are among the offerings at the energetic Quinn's Irish Pub, while the dimly lit center bar, Drop Bar, provides a more relaxing experience.

The pool area is a virtual playground with a sand beach and an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and events. It incorporates private cabanas with beds for lounging, mister systems, televisions and phones, while an adults-only area called The Pond offers European-style sunbathing. Located next to the pool, the multilevel Spa at Green Valley Ranch will restore your tranquility with a variety of body treatments.

Like an oasis in the desert, Green Valley Ranch is more than a hotel and casino -- it's an escape.
