Lake Las Vegas is a 320-acre (130 ha) artificial lake, and a community with Italian, Mediterranean-inspired style, just 40 minute-car-ride from the Vegas Strip.
The area includes three resorts: the Aston MonteLago Village Resort, the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, and the Hilton Lake Las Vegas.
The dam that creates the lake is "an earthen structure 18 stories high, 4,800 ft (1,500 m) in length and 716 ft (218 m) wide at its base. It contains roughly the same amount of dirt as Hoover Dam does concrete," and was completed in 1991.
The Las Vegas Wash passes under the lake and dam in pipes that require maintenance every 10 years.
Water diversion to fill the lake began in 1990. The lake was filled with 3 billion gallons of water.
Lake Las Vegas filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 17, 2008. It emerged from bankruptcy in July 2010.
The golf course was purchased by Nevada South Shore LLC, a Hawaii-based corporation for $4.5 million on February 17, 2011.
The Ritz Carlton Lake Las Vegas, after operated for eight years, was sold to Hilton on June 6, 2013.
Casino MonteLago was changed to Lake Las Vegas Event Center in the beginning of 2016, hosting special events, exhibits, and entertainment.
