Lake Las Vegas Resort
Developed by Transcontinental Properties, Inc., Lake Las Vegas Resort is a resort community located ten miles (16 kilometers) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, that is centered around a 320-acre (129.5-hectare) manmade lake. In addition to the lake and other open space, this 3,592-acre (1,454-hectare) project features two luxury hotels, several golf courses, a town center with shops, restaurants, and a casino, and an array of housing types–ranging from single-family homes, townhouses, and condominium units to fractional-ownership flats–that total 8,900 residences. Conscious of its impact on the environment, the community uses lake water to irrigate the golf courses and common-area plantings and encourages the use of nonautomobile transportation.
