The development at Lake Las Vegas Resort is rounded off by the MonteLago Village, the Mediterranean-inspired waterfront village, complete with colorful shopping promenades with boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and a European-themed casino adjacent to the elegant The Ritz Carlton, Lake Las Vegas. A decade in the development, this 3,592-acre residential and resort property boasts a wide range of very substantial enclaves, with a handful of new, upscale residential villages presently under construction or in the planning stages.

World-class golf is a priority for Lake Las Vegas Resort's developers. As freshly minted as it might be, the resort already ranks near the top third of Golf Digest's list of "The Top 75 Golf Resorts in America." The accolade is fully deserved, considering Lake Las Vegas Resort offers three superb courses, all of which were designed by masters of the profession. Reflection Bay Golf Club, one of the resort's two remarkable courses that were designed by Jack Nicklaus, was recently named among Golf Magazine's "Top 10 You Can Play" courses. At 7,250 yards and with a par 72, the course is notable for being the first public golf course in Nevada to be designed by Nicklaus.
