This is a beautiful setting that struggles to find enough people to keep stores and restaurants. They have the prettiest setting, outdoor events and the stores and restaurants that are still here are high quality. They never really catered to locals except for wine walks and beer tastings. Hopefully they will find a way to bring more people in and the place will again be a livelier place to visit.
There may be people behind the gated community parts of this area, but the 3 hotel resorts that are trying to make a go of it here seem pretty quiet. As for the shopping Village - we saw no shops open but they are not made easy to get to - but from what we saw - there are no shops open. The casino is still closed. Perhaps during summer there is more happening here. We were there right before Christmas. It's pretty far from the Strip, so other than golf or the lake or wanting someplace REALLY QUIET, I would not see the attraction of staying at one of the hotels here. I wish them good luck.
Take an inexpensive trip to Lake Las Vegas, you'll be glad you did. You should book early get good deals and take the entire family. We were greeted at the front desk with a grand smile, hardy hello, and speedy service. Manager Rodney Arnett was very gracious and professional as he gave us needed information and direction. Our customer service representative allowed us to check in two hours before regular check in time. The very spacious Moroccan decorated room was beautifully inspiring, very "smooth and soothing" . The room was furnished with a Large California King size bed, large flat screen tv, very nice desk w/chair, a lounge chair, with a 7th floor view. It was absolutely wonderful. The temperature for the three days averaged 60 degrees with sunshine each day. It was great sweater or light jacket weather, remember it's January. The amenities are great, there are water sports, boating, swimming, hiking , golf, and great dining. Your body can be professionally massaged with fragrant oils, give hands and feet a paraffin treatment, it's a fantastic body gift given to yourself. Finally, the best of the best for its offering of service, serenity, and beauty for the entire family. Just 17 miles away is the strip, loud traffic, loud people, and lots of fun of course, but Lake Las Vegas allow you to be so close to the noise yet away for peace and quiet. You should make you reservations and visit, now is the time.
Are you looking for a beautiful area that offers many family activities and no gambling? Then look no further than Lake Las Vegas. With the Westin, Hilton and Aston on the shore line, there are so many things to do it would take a week to do them all.
Beautiful area with lots of potential but unfortunately inactive at this time due to poor economy. Hope to see it develop and attract visitors--we would go back there to stay once they re-open.
We had a day to spend, but there was not much to do except strolling in the village. Hotels were nice not swarmed with people. We had to wait for 45 minutes to get a pasta and pizza at one of the restaurants by the lake. Casinos are casinos: smelling smoke! It was best at night with lights and a few more people. It is possible to bike, boat, and paddle, but we preferred to hike instead by the lake.
If you are not into the full on pace of the strip this is a perfect place to stay. Pleasant views over the water and close to some of the outer attractions such as Hoover Dam
Just played reflection bay at lake Las Vegas. It was ausome. Had lunch in the club house, service and food were great. Very helpful land friendly staff. The course was closed for 7 years and reopened in November 2014, it is in great shape. Hope this is a new beginning for a great place.
Although man-made, the lake is a respite from the desert and offers space for water sports. Walking/running path around the lake too.
However at least 50% of the restaurants and shops are closed down at the moment. And the ones that are open are VERY pricey.
