Lake Las Vegas

Lake Las Vegas Resort is gathered into the desert mountains at the eastern edge of the Las Vegas Valley lies the tranquil Tuscan themed master planned community. It is the perfect choice to spend your vacation or to live together with your family with so many luxurious rental style homes located in just 17 miles from the Las Vegas Strip and from McCarran International Airport. Lake Las Vegas is the latest gathering spot along a desert water supply that was used as an ancient trade route by Native Americans, a rest stop for travelers along the Spanish Trail and as farmland by early Nevada settlers. It also brings on world champion golf courses, world-class hotels and spas, luxury residences, and faultless services; all centered with breathtaking views on a private 320 acre lake.

The resort offers 19 distinct residential communities including many custom homes for sale at prices normally starting in the high of $400s-$10M depending upon your choice. Celebrities like Celine Dion call Lake Las Vegas as her home. The architectural designs throughout Lake Las Vegas Resort are based on a Mediterranean theme featuring classical proportions and traditional detailing that create the distinctive enclaves surrounding the privately-owned lake.

The MonteLago Village is an old-world Italian lakeside village and a Mediterranean style center at the heart of Lake Las Vegas with specialty boutiques coupled with luxury condominiums on the floors above, lakeside boat docks, gourmet restaurants, pubs, cigar bars and galleries. The retail village evokes the charm of Northern Italy’s lake region, while the hotel and spa exude the casual elegance of Tuscany. Nestled on the hillside, Casino MonteLago incorporates Italian architectural elements that merge gracefully with the natural topography. Residents can also enjoy all the elaborate amenities at the Ritz Carlton with international cuisine and a spectacular European style spa. And in addition to premier golf at three championship courses, residents have access to kayaks and sailboats through either the MonteLago Village Dockhouse or the private Marina located in the South Shore community. From the Marina, visitors and residents may rent electric boats and watercrafts; take romantic gondola cruises, or book yachts for special events. The focal point of MonteLago Village is a superb bridge on both sides of Lake Las Vegas, modeled after the Pontevecchio Bridge in Florence, Italy, standing as a famous landmark to all resort guests. MonteLago Village at Lake Las Vegas Resort keeps relaxation and refinement close at heart.

Finding Homes for Sale and Real Estate by using the Internet

In today’s world there are a number of different methods that a person can use to find homes for sale on the internet. If you are interested in finding a piece of real estate for yourself but have been unsuccessful in searching for it in the offline world, then maybe it is time for you to give the online world a try instead. You have nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain. What exactly does the internet have to offer in regards to finding homes for sale? Read on to find out!

The websites of various real estate companies end up working for you. One of the reasons that a lot of people that search offline have a lot of difficulty in finding a home for sale that they really love is that real estate agents tend to be quite compartmentalized. They tend to work independently of each other and with very little collaboration in a lot of cases, so that the houses of one agent are not particularly likely to be searched by another agent.

This means that you are only getting part of the picture when you go with a single real estate agent, but of course the internet is the great equalizer in this and so many other cases. The internet allows you to go to the website of the real estate company directly, where they have a listing of houses for all of the agents that are currently part of their brand. This allows you to search through houses quite easily and make appointments with multiple agents to tour houses until you come across one that you love.

There are general websites available with all the information you could ever want. In addition to the real estate websites, there are also general housing websites that have information about various housing terms and conditions and also information on houses that are being sold independently of real estate markets. If you want to buy a house, then you should be able to find all of the houses available in your area and others between the real estate company websites and these independent listing retailers. The internet is a wealth of knowledge and information and the sooner you reach out and utilize it, the sooner things will be better for you.
