Lake Las Vegas: Waterfront Luxury Homes in Henderson, NV

Lake Las Vegas Overview

Lake Las Vegas is a master-planned community in Henderson, Nevada built around a 320-acre man-made lake. The developer describes it as a 3,600-acre master plan with resort-style living, gated privacy, championship golf and private recreation.

The lake was created by an earthen dam across the Las Vegas Wash, and filling began in 1991. The community is also home to two resort hotels, The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa and the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa.

Location: East Henderson, About 25 Minutes From the Strip

Lake Las Vegas sits on the east side of Henderson, about 25 minutes east of the Las Vegas Strip. From I-215 East, you continue east on Lake Mead Parkway and turn left on Lake Las Vegas Parkway.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area is close by, and the community's trail guide points to the Lake Mead Historic Railroad Trail, which runs through five railroad tunnels toward Hoover Dam, and the 34-mile River Mountains Loop Trail.

Lifestyle and Amenities

Life here centers on the water. Residents and visitors can kayak, stand-up paddleboard, take an electric Duffy boat around the lake, or join the Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club or the Paddle Vegas dragon boat club.

Golf is the other anchor. Reflection Bay Golf Club, built in 1998, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design with a 32,000-square-foot clubhouse and a private white sand beach, and it hosted the Wendy's 3Tour Challenge from 1998 to 2007. SouthShore Country Club is described as the first private Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in Nevada, a 6,925-yard championship course rising from the shoreline into the desert hills.

The Lake Las Vegas Sports Club is a private amenity for residents with family and lap pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a spa, a fitness center and a movement studio, and it is home to the UNLV Sports Science Center. The Village at Lake Las Vegas adds lakeside restaurants, Seasons Grocery, shopping and seasonal live entertainment.
