Las Vegas Resorts
Resort Lodging: A Luxe Alternative to Strip Hotels. Resorts provide tranquil settings minutes away from Vegas Strip.
As the lure of Las Vegas continues to attract visitors, many resort properties just outside the confines of The Strip are becoming viable lodging options. Resorts such as the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa, the Ritz Carlton Lake Las Vegas and the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas all offer amenities and services that guests can enjoy while avoiding the crowds and noise associated with the Las Vegas Strip.
Remote resorts are the alternative for travelers who want the Las Vegas experience, but in a manner that affords them the freedom to unplug from it all at a moment's notice.
The JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa is an oasis in Vegas. Located just 20 minutes northwest of the Las Vegas Strip, the property has 54 acres, 548 guest rooms and suites. Instead of being surrounded by the blaring rings of slot machines and blinding city lights, one is ensconced amid the desert landscape, gardens and even coursing streams. The resort is also only 10 minutes from the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Park, which offers activities such as hiking, biking and rock climbing. With nine restaurants, a 40,000-square-foot spa and a 50,000 square-foot casino, many guests may feel inclined to never leave the premises. You can enjoy the benefits of Vegas, but in an area of relaxation.

Escape to the Lake About 35 minutes southeast from the JW Marriott, down US-95 South, sits Lake Las Vegas, a resort community whose focal point is a 320-acre man-made lake. The area is also home to two renowned luxury properties, both approximately 17 miles from The Strip.
The 30,000 square-foot Ritz-Carlton Spa is a favorite among guests, featuring a couples massage service and a VIP suite, replete with a side-by-side tub for two that churns out water through 70 air jets. It that's too relaxing, guests can take an invigorating Tsunami shower that, as the name implies, douses the body everywhere from head to toe. |

The resort features two spacious swimming pools with landscaped pool decks and a water slide, palm-shaded terraces, tent-line cabanas and sandy beaches along the lake for relaxing. Guests also have access to Reflection Bay Golf Club, set along the tranquil shores of Lake Las Vegas, through an exclusive hotel/golf club agreement as well as the resort's 9,000 square-foot upscale spa and fitness center, offering an array of pampering services and activities. |
The Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas sits on the shores of the lake that it's named after and features Mediterranean architecture reminiscent of Europe's coastal villages. The AAA Five Diamond Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas provides the ultimate "other Las Vegas" experience in a relaxed, luxury resort. It's beauty, combined with its accommodations and unparalleled service, has garnered it awards as the finest luxury resort in southern Nevada. The hotel's 349 guest rooms include 35 suites and feature oversized marble bathrooms. 
About a mile north of the Ritz-Carlton, along the shores of Lake Las Vegas, is the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, which will change its flag to a Loews property on Dec. 8, 2006 and become the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort. On 25 waterfront acres, the resort has Moroccan-inspired design. As with many of Las Vegas properties, either golf or spa activities consumes many a guest's time.
