Now through Dec. 20 rooms are 50 percent off Sunday through Thursday nights and 30 percent off on Friday and Saturday nights. Reservations include daily breakfast and two free admissions to the spectacular Red Rock Fantasy of Lights Christmas show right next door.
The staff at El Portal can help you with your holiday shopping list and will even wrap your gifts for you if you like. So, whether you’re looking for an escape from your hectic holiday whirlwind or you just need a little infusion of cozy yuletide cheer, we’ve got it all right here. Pull up a chair by the Great Room fireplace, curl up with some cocoa and a Christmas cookie or two.
