Wonderful staff, gorgeous room! Pet friendly to boot! arrived very late at night and staff were so friendly and helpful (we have a recouperating dog) and they even got the room service lady to talk over the menu and recommend food! Wow. We were exhausted and this was the best welcome we could have had. So recommend this hotel to people looking to see vegas without being IN vegas!

I had a Delta voucher that was about to expire, so took off for two days in sunny Lake Las Vegas. I intentionally chose this property as I was looking for a quiet place where I could soak up warmth and sun, and this fit the bill perfectly. My room was comfortable and had a lovely view over the "adult" pool (which unfortunately was closed for maintenance this weekend) and mountains. The property certainly had the level of quality I expect from a Westin--the design of the public spaces in particular are stunning. The outdoor spaces were lovely, if a little cramped because of the one pool being closed--but the kids were having a blast at the pool and the beach, and I was able to find a spot to claim both days without too much trouble.

I ate at both restaurants and had poolside service. The more casual restaurant, Rick's Cafe, was really quite good (I had a great burger one day and tasty flatbread the next); I was less impressed with poolside service when it took 30 minutes to get a diet coke and then another 30 for the bill to arrive. (I didn't order again after that experience, but the guys next to me the following day were complaining about the same thing.) All in all, I'd definitely recommend for a trip to Vegas without really being IN Vegas.

It's too bad the golf course isnt open. But the hotel is a lovely and quiet escape from Vegas. The grounds and pools are great, there was no charge to take out kayak's etc. the hotel is clean, quiet and smoke free. For us as a family, it provided a great alternative. An easy drive into Vegas to shop and find some great restaurants then a short trip back to a comfortable and quiet room. Staff is all very friendly and helpful.

If you have a family and want to dabble in Vegas this is a perfect headquarters.

The hotel is located 20-25 minutes off the strip. It was an easy drive and the scenery more interesting the closer you get to the hotel. Not having a casino means the hotel does not reek of cigarette smoke. The rooms were adequate: clean, slightly worn, sized as you would expect, and had great beds. The staff was fine. The truly outstanding feature of this hotel is the grounds - beautiful front and back, with a killer lake view. The rear courtyard was very attractive and well furnished (did I mention the killer view?) The pools (one for kids/families, one for adults) were sizeable and surrounded by the gorgeous grounds. I would go back in a heart beat. In fact, I'm trying to figure out just how quickly I can arrange a return visit!
