Hey Hey, happy summer time! If you are headed to the Southwest for your vacation, check out my local's guide for must see spots near Las Vegas. Lake Las Vegas Lake Las Vegas is one of the most scenic spots in the Vegas Valley, and is considered part of Henderson. The man -made lake is a huge hit with tourists and locals both. Lake Las Vegas is my happy place- IM OBSESSED- LOVE IT! I miss the ocean and mountains in the Pacific Northwest; so at least being at the lake helps! A few hotels are located in the area: the Westin,(my favorite), the Hilton and MonteLago Village Resort. The Lake offers: panoramic scenery a luxurious vibe quaint lake village amazing amenities water sport rentals perfect for family getaways, staycations or a daytrip escape Lake Las Vegas Water Sports has rentals available for kayaking, paddle boarding etc. In addition many residents in the valley, call Lake Las Vegas home. I wish we had bought a condo at the lake, instead of a house in town.
