Overview & Highlights

The Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas Golf and Spa Resort - nestled on the shores of the largest privately owned lake in the United States with 10 miles of shoreline and 320 acres of water - has received the AAA Five Diamond rating, the Exxon/Mobil's influential Four Star award and been named to Zagat's 2005 "Top U.S. Hotels, Resorts and Spas" list since opening just a few years ago.

Its Mediterranean architecture with clay tile roofs and arched doorways resemble a colorful European waterside village. The adjacent MonteLago Village adds to the experience with cobblestone streets filled with boutiques, restaurants, clubs and the Casino MonteLago.

Inspired by Florence's Pontevecchio Bridge, the resort's Club Level sits on the lake and above an event space (the perfect spot for outdoor nuptials) and walkway connecting the south and north sides of Lake Las Vegas' inner harbor. The three-story bridge is 375 feet long and high enough for a sailboat to pass beneath.

The 349 lavish guest rooms, including 30 suites, feature luxurious linens, oversized marble bathrooms and imported furnishings. The 64 Club Level rooms and suites - accessible only by a private key - is home to The Ritz-Carlton Suite and Private Club Lounge, where four, decadent, complimentary food and beverage presentations are offered throughout the day.

Ranked the No. 5 golf resort in North America by Conde Nast Traveler magazine, The Ritz-Carlton allows guests access to 36 holes of championship golf on the par-72 Reflection Bay and The Falls golf clubs - both recently named to Golf Magazine's "Top 10 You Can Play List".

Other outdoor recreational activities include stargazing, fly-fishing, guided walks and hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, sailing, yacht cruises, gondola rides, eco-tours, meditation and yoga classes.

The Vita di Lago Pool and Gardens serves healthy cuisine, refreshing smoothies, tropical beverages and the resort's acclaimed "pool burger" - poolside or on the lagoon-side sandy beach. The nearby Ritz-Carlton Spa - a 30,000-square-foot facility - pampers guests with 24 relaxing treatment rooms, a full-service salon, complete fitness center with exercise and movement classes and relaxing healing waters.

Take your afternoon tea in the Firenze Lobby Lounge with its panoramic views of the lake or enjoy a cocktail and cigar in the Galileo Bar, while the featured entertainer tickles the ivories.

The glorious Sunday brunch, with its Mediterranean-inspired dishes inside the Medici Café and Terrace (The Ritz-Carlton's only restaurant), must not be missed.
