Lake Las Vegas

Looking down upon the Nevada desert in the mid-1980s, Ronald F. Boeddeker, President and Chairman of Transcontinental Properties, Inc., envisioned a body of cool water surrounded by an unparalleled, Mediterranean resort destination showcasing mountains, homes, golf courses, hotels, gaming, restaurants, and boutiques. That vision has come to fruition in spite of the daunting challenge of building a dam in the middle of the desert, which was an engineering feat that was successfully accomplished in May 1991.
In September 1988, construction began on Lake Las Vegas Resort’s dam and a two-mile long bypass system. The bypass system is comprised of two pipes that are each 84 inches in diameter and two miles in length and was engineered to convey the flow of the Las Vegas Wash under Lake Las Vegas and into Lake Mead . The 18-story dam, that is approximately 150 feet high, contains nearly 4.1 million cubic yards of earth and took more than two years to build. Lake development was completed in 1994.

Lake Las Vegas is a recreational amenity to Lake Las Vegas Resort, but it also provides approximately 10,000 acre-feet of water storage for the resort’s landscape and golf course irrigation requirements.
The private SouthShore Golf Club opened in 1995, the first private Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Nevada . The first resort residents moved in the following year. With the opening of Reflection Bay Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, in 1998 and The Falls Golf Club, a Tom Weiskopf Design, in 2002, Lake Las Vegas Resort has been established as a premier golf destination winning numerous prestigious awards.

To date, Lake Las Vegas Resort encompasses exquisite residential offerings in 19 communities, including custom home sites, waterfront and golf villas, resort condominiums and luxury executive homes. Also within the 3,592-acre master planned community are world-class resorts, including the AAA Five Diamond-rated The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas , the AAA Four Diamond-rated Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Resort, Spa and Casino, and MonteLago Village Resort. The Tuscan-inspired destination also features a collection of three challenging golf courses, pampering spas, elegant casinos, full-service marinas with watercraft rentals and yacht cruises, and MonteLago Village , an enchanting enclave at the center of Lake Las Vegas Resort, offering water’s edge restaurants and cafes, quaint boutiques.
