We love hiking on our trips. It's very inexpensive, requires little equipment expense and is a great way to really see the area. Our first hike of this trip is along Red Rock Canyon. When we choose our trail it was considered moderate. We are amateur/recreational hikers. Once we got to the trailhead, the trail was marked as difficult. Still we decided to give it a shot.

The trail is mostly rock of course.
The beginning was small pebbles but as we continued on, they became larger including several boulders.
The views were still breathtaking. The trail is named ice box trail & it lived up to its name. The temperature really drops as you walk between the mountains, it's like walking from the desert into an ice box! It was incredible.
If you have never visited Red Rock Canyon while visiting Vegas, you have missed one of their most beautiful areas around it.
In the afternoon, we used a complimentary buffet to the Hollywood Casino BSL's new sister casino, the M resort. The resort was a short drive from the strip, it was a nice day to drive with windows down.
The buffet is beautifully setup & the foods we tried were good, the buffet included wine/beer, gelato and a gourmet coffee bar. The casino was strangely quiet, unfriendly & nothing special.
