By: Robert D. Thomson

On the periphery of the Las Vegas band resides the 3,592-acre Mediterranean - fashion Lake Las Vegas Resort, a privately-owned artificial lake in southeast Nevada. A resort and housing district in single, this retreat has a laid-back vibe when compared to Vegas fast-paced nightlife, but it still gives visitors an eclectic air to discover. The resort includes everything from tradiation homes to exotic boating excursions to championship golf courses.

For guests who have always wanted to journey overseas Lake Las Vegas sets itself apart as a premier gateway reminiscent of Europes lakeside villages. Guests staying at the AAA Four Diamond-rated Ritz-Carlton can see traces of domed doorways and clay tile roofs. Offering an unforgettable view of the resorts mountainous backdrop is the Loews lodge, which is also AAA Four Diamond-rated.

There are plenty of on-water and waterfront behaviour. Lake Mead, one of the largest national entertaining sites in the United States, is only two miles away and offers scenic power-boating and watersports opportunities. Within the resort, the 320-acre lake only allows non-motorized recreational watercraft with the exception of the resorts two cruise yachts and protection vehicles but visitors can select from paddle boating, kayaking, canoeing, sailboating or fishing at Lake Las Vegas two marinas, MonteLago Village Marina and SouthShore Marina.
