The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa

The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa is just 20 miles from the Strip, but it feels like it's worlds away.

Even though Vegas is a desert city, this charming 3,600-acre retreat is located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Las Vegas.

The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa offers 493 luxurious rooms and suites. They provide a quieter, more relaxed option than rooms found in some of the hotels on the Strip.

The desert and mountain scenery is breathtaking and so are the amenities within the Mediterranean-themed resort. Plunge into the two large and inviting pools -- complete with a children's play area. On the resort's white sand beach, you can try your hand at paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. Yoga classes are also offered outdoors. Plus, there is a luxurious spa.

Dining options include Rick's Cafe and Marssa, which is an AAA Four Diamond award-winning restaurant that serves world-class Japanese and Asian-fusion cuisine.

Relaxation and escape is the name of the game here. Whatever your pleasure, you'll find it and enjoy your vacation at The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa.
