Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa Transforms into a Winter Wonderland for the Holidays with Merry Crimson and Other Over the Top Holiday Décor Throughout
Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa unveils its winter wonderland transformation and welcomes the holidays with the launch of Merry Crimson, the completion of a larger-than-life Red Rock Casino replica gingerbread house, the introduction of a whimsical cocktail menu and the sale of sweet treats to take the spirited festivities home, including the season’s hottest beverage trend – the hot cocoa bomb.
Merry Crimson, a seasonally-inspired, indoor, outdoor pop-up holiday bar debuts November 27. The over-the-top holiday décor, iconic photo moments and menu of Instagram-worthy cocktails brings the North Pole straight to Summerlin – a setup so spectacular even Clark Griswold would approve. Guests will enter through an enchanting tunnel of colorful lights and ornaments which, at the end, opens to a whimsical wonderland of holiday themed moments and vignettes filled with a candy cane swing set, a giant Santa Claus front and center, a fireplace for a real life elf on the shelf and a Moët champagne vending machine with proceeds benefitting Opportunity Village. The outdoor, poolside terrace features a wonderfully lit wall with a display of blow up Santa and his reindeer landing on the Crimson roof. Guests can enjoy fire pits, or heated cabanas and order a s’mores kit for roasting.
Guests looking to make a weekend out of their visit can book the “Stay and Sleigh” package which offers 25% off room rates and a $50 credit to use at Merry Crimson (two night minimum required). The package can be booked at the following link: https://www.redrockresort.com/stay/hotel-promotions/.
