The Lakes – The Perfect Desert Retreat

Just seventeen miles from the Las Vegas strip, but a world apart! One visit to The Lakes, west of the city in Henderson near Lake Mead, is enough to convince anyone that Las Vegas can seem a bit tawdry sometimes. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk or rather drive in there if you want a look, but if you are serious about investing and once you are expected, the red carpet is rolled out in style. Check-Ins and Outs must be made at the Lake Las Vegas Sales and Information Center at Southshore Security Gatehouse.

The homes have created a buzz over the years and the place keeps reinventing itself in the most enchanting ways. The Lakes will revive the most jaded soul and bring back that little skip in your walk. A good option is renting a vacation villa at the Lake Las Vegas Resort Vacation Villas that offer luxury single-family homes and villas on the Reflection Bay Golf Course, near Hyatt and the Ritz-Carlton.

MonteLago Village Resort offers beautifully appointed condominiums with a charming blend of home comforts and quiet luxury in a serene Mediterranean resort ambiance. This world-class accommodation opens the doors to a wide variety of recreation activities including golfing, fishing, spa facilities and a nearby casino. The strip can tire you out after a bit- no such fear here. Montelago village is a very successful ode to Mediterranean towns with its leisurely pace refined style. Wander down a cobblestone street, relax on a bench tucked beside a fountain or just watch the waves dance on the huge lake.

The shops and galleries bring the latest in fashion and life style, be it hand-blown glass vases or haute couture. Golf is way of life here and new challenges await you on the wide green fairways. One can dine out every night at a new place in the best international traditions. Outdoor options are plenty with fishing, boating, kayaking, mountain-biking, ATV & Hummer tours and even heli-touring. The adventurous can find endless ways to spend the days.

The Hyatt Lake Las Vegas on a 320-acre lake, one of the largest privately owned lakes in Nevada with ten miles of breathtaking shoreline offers all of the benefits of lake living: scenic views, natural wildlife and endless recreational opportunities, like sailing, fishing, windsurfing and kayaking. The resort features luxury accommodations plenty of recreational sports and an exciting European themed Casino Baraka. Just chill on the landscaped pool decks, palm-shaded terraces, tent-line cabanas or the sandy beaches along the lake.

The Lakes is close enough to the action of Las Vegas but far enough away from it to indulge in peace and relaxation and makes the perfect desert retreat. If you yearn for a little quiet time after the fast pace of the city this is the place for you. Relax by the lake at night looking up at the mountains and the stars and all is well with the world. You can take a guided hike, a yacht cruise or a gondola ride, or wallow in a spa. Enjoy a flutter at the Casino MonteLago or take the shuttle to the strip
