Red Rock casino hotel room

The third time Red Rock hotel room. I love the design, but this place always gives us excuses. The first time we stayed here was when they just opened up, but they gave us a dirty, not cleaned room, so we had to move to a different room, and the room we got was for the people who's with wheelchair and also that room was next to employee stairs, so it was quite noisy. So we left 4 hours later. Luckily, we had a room somewhere else on the Strip.

This third time, the room was nice, we also got free food credit and free slot play. But when we checked out, they messed up with our credits. They charged us a resort fee and the restaurant bills. The only thing we should have had to pay for was the tips at the restaurants and everything else should not be charged. So we had a long talk and arguing for over 30 minutes, and after so many times calculating, finally they charged us correctly. Same thing happened when we stayed here the second time. Staying here seems to be too much trouble for us. So if you are staying here, make sure you check your bill before you check out. I'm telling you, they ALWAYS make mistake.

The resort fee here was I think $20, which includes newspaper and free internet access. And don't forget to check the local newspaper, because they often include coupons for buffet or restaurants.







































































































































2 sinks. There's also a small TV on the wall so you can watch while you're taking a bath.














shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soaps, cottons, bath gel, something like that













































View from room. You can see the Strip.

Bellagio - Noodles 2008

This was back in 2008, when we got our food comped. This place is open late, that's a good thing. Usually they serve food pretty fast. We hated this place back in 2006, it was awful, but in 2007 and 2008, it was much better. I wonder if the chef has been changed.

Thai Iced Tea $5 each













Miso Soup $4













Agedashi $6.50 ($7 now)
crispy bean curd served with light soy sauce
We liked it.













Calamari $10.50 ($11 now)
I liked it. I mean, I always like calamari.













Hainanese Chicken Rice $20.50 ($21 now)
fragrant rice and broth with home-made chili sauce
I hate boiled or steamed or roasted chicken, so there's no way I'm eating this. But my husband loved it. I think if you like Hainanese chicken, you'll like it.













Salt and Pepper Maine Live Lobster $48.50 (market price)
It can't be bad. It's $49. It was good.













Congee $9
I liked it. All these toppings make the taste better.













Potstickers $8
pork and vegetable dumplings


























Malaysian-style Roti Prata $8
pan-fried thin cake with curry sauce













We ordered this because we had no idea what this was. It's basically like deep-fried greasy phyllo dough. No taste. We hated. Not recommended.













Mandarin Beef Stew Noodle $15
beef brisket, tendons-spiced herb broth


























Hor Fun Noodles $16
choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or barbecue pork with black bean gravy or oyster sauce













We ordered this because it had a funny name "Hor Fun". Unfortunately, I don't like this type of noodle. It's thick, flat, white noodles.
