Any info helps. Going March 9-11 we wanna get on Solar Slab. We're flying in and renting a car so we figured might as well get a warm bed.

If you're cheap you can get a room on Air BnB for $25. Think spare bedroom rather than hotel suite, but I've done it when a warm bed+shower sounds better than sleeping in the dirt. The Red Rocks campground is $15 so it's hardly more expensive.

Red Rock Resort is great, lots of good restaurants, close to the climbing. Pricey though.

Nascar weekend huh?
Not really looking for the Vegas strip experience. Cheap and close by. Bonnie Springs is quoting $133/night right now...
As far as back-up plans whats the best place to climb outside if it's too wet on sandstone?
The weather looks like there may be a warming trend from what I've seen.

I was always partial to the Coke Haven, where room service was taken to real heights.

The Element Summerlin is nice but relatively pricey. Good hotel breakfast,close to RR, good neighborhood restaurants nearby. Several climbers and mountain bikers there when I stayed.
Sort of the anti-strip hotel. Even Obama stayed there once!

Red Rock if you can afford it.
I've stayed in Summerlin at a La Quinta, but, they can be pricey.
My fallback and usual spot is the Palace Station. Bit of a drive, but, less expensive and ok rooms.

Ok.
So I'm booked for Bonnie Springs because it was cheap and close. We don't plan on spending much time there anyway.
W.L.-
We climb sport around .12- and our trad head game is weak. We both are around 40 years old and have been climbing for close to 20 years respectively. I've climbed mostly long trad moderates such as Cathedral Peak (Yos), Corugation Corner, Bear's Reach (Tahoe), and such.
Any dry, fun climbing outside is the best when wet rock is an issue.

Looks like you're set, but Gold Coast stinks like cigs in the rooms.

El Cortez is great midweek. Under 30 bucks on an internet special last time I did it, walk to the Fremont St Experience, way better than The Strip

Ron Carson and I stayed at Bonnie Springs this past season. Kind of a dive but I loved the location and the Buffalo burger at the restaurant right there. Like you said, you'll be climbing most of the time anyway.

Killer,
Feb and March are peak rain months, so definitely have a back-up plan. The limestone crags around Las Vegas are great for those times when the rock at Red Rocks is too wet or too soon since the last rain.

Moose - if you had taken him up on his offer one of two things were sure to happen to you, A. Attacked by a booty pirate or
B. Attempted conversion to fundamental Christianity.
