Loews Lake Las Vegas
By Las Vegas standards, a hotel with less than 500 guestrooms is rare, but that's what makes this resort special. And even though it is small, it boasts at Spa Moulay with almost a dozen treatment rooms, a salon and an amazingly equipped fitness center. In addition, you'll enjoy one of the resort's two pools, a sandy beach and various water activities. Or you can play golf or take lessons at Reflection Bay Golf Club, a championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. It is almost 7,300 yards from the back tees, but if you are an "emerging golfer," the course can be shortened by playing other tees on each hole.
