Loews Lake Las Vegas

This resort, formerly a Hyatt Regency property, is on the shores of Lake Las Vegas (a private lake near Lake Meade). Lake Las Vegas is outside of Henderson, Nevada, 17 or so miles from the Las Vegas Strip. This resort has a version of Morocco-Mediterranean-style architecture, focused on its own natural surroundings and the lake, which dominates its setting. There is no casino. Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort has 493 guest rooms (including 16 suites), numerous dining alternatives, a spa, some upscale golfing options, a luxurious pool area and many lake-related activities.

Guests at Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort may play at the Reflection Bay Golf Club, which proudly maintains a Jack Nicklaus championship, 18-hole course. Another option is the Falls Golf Club, which offers a course designed by Tom Weiskopf and a large area for practice. Both have instruction and a pro shop.

Another activity available to guests at the resort is a cruise of Lake Mead, which includes a visit to the Hoover Dam.
