A Step Away
The Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas is 17 miles outside the city, but people head there for its gorgeous surroundings and impeccable service. Golfers like it because of its proximity to world-class golf courses in Henderson and Boulder City, and it's an easy drive to Las Vegas courses as well.
The hotel rooms look out on the lake, gardens or high desert mountains. Guests are pampered in the spa with its relaxing treatments, sauna and steam areas, whirlpools and plunge pools. Families enjoy activities such as fly-fishing, kayaking and swimming, and there are also supervised kids' activities.
