Desert Shores by Anne Burke


Lake Las Vegas


Lake Las Vegas
Lake Las Vegas, a Mediterranean flavored resort community, is only 30 minutes northeast of Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. It is a slow paced and outdoor focused antidote to the high energy scene on Las Vegas Boulevard.

The big attraction is the 320 acre manmade lake, as well as a Tuscan flavored Ritz Carlton, a Moroccan inspired Loews, and the Mediterranean themed MonteLago Village Resort, a condominium resort and retail complex that is well suited for clients looking for value over the amenities of a high end hotel.

The body of water that lends its name to this 3,600 acre resort is an honest to god recreational lake, two miles long and 150 feet deep. There are a couple of small, sand beaches suitable for sunbathing and sandcastle making. Anglers go after large mouth bass and rainbow trout while kayakers paddle past mansions that hug the shoreline, guessing which belongs to the community's most celebrated resident, Celine Dion. Alongside the lake's perimeter are 3-1/2 miles of paved trail for walkers and joggers... In the distance are the low lying brown mountains that give Southern Nevada's high desert its distinctive backdrop.

MonteLago Village Resort is priced about half that of a comparable room on the Strip, this is the most economical place to stay at Lake Las Vegas and a good bet for families on a budget. People should be aware that MonteLago Village is not a hotel; there is no lobby to speak of, no room service and the housekeeping is hit and miss. On weekends, the MonteLago Village comes alive with art and music, attracting as many locals as tourists...

People looking for niceties like spa treatments and interesting décor will be better off at Loews or the Ritz Carlton. The latter lays claim to the most exclusive rooms at the lake, ensconced in the three story Ponte Vecchio Bridge, a remarkable replication of its Florentine namesake. The bridge rises high enough above the lake to let a 21 foot sailboat pass underneath and the lower level has a chapel and open space that is busy with wedding parties.
