Las Vegas (/lɑːs ˈveɪɡəs/, also locally /lɑːs ˈvɛɡᵻs/; Spanish: [laz ˈβeɣas]) officially the City of Las Vegas and often known as simply Vegas, is a city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of Nevada, the county seat of Clark County, and the city proper of the Las Vegas Valley. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city known primarily for gambling, shopping, fine dining and nightlife and is the leading financial and cultural center for Southern Nevada.
The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino–hotels and associated entertainment. A growing retirement and family city, Las Vegas is the 29th-most populous city in the United States, with a population of 603,488 at the 2013 United States Census Estimates. The 2013 population of the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 2,027,828. The city is one of the top three leading destinations in the United States for conventions, business, and meetings. In addition, the city's metropolitan area has more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world, and is a global leader in the hospitality industry. Today, Las Vegas is one of the top tourist destinations in the world.
Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada, refers to a 320-acre (130 ha) artificial lake and the 3,592-acre (1,454 ha) developed area around the lake. The area is sometimes referred to as the Lake Las Vegas Resort. Lake Las Vegas is being developed by 5 companies including Lake at Las Vegas Joint Venture LLC.
The area includes three resorts including 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.
Actor J. Carlton Adair conceived Lake Las Vegas around 1967 for Lake Adair. At the time he purchased the land and water rights. In 1987, Ronald Boeddeker acquired 2,000 acres (810 ha) from the US Government when Adair went bankrupt.
A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean (except for sea lochs in Scotland and Ireland), and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers. In some parts of the world there are many lakes because of chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last Ice Age. All lakes are temporary over geologic time scales, as they will slowly fill in with sediments or spill out of the basin containing them.
Many lakes are artificial and are constructed for industrial or agricultural use, for hydro-electric power generation or domestic water supply, or for aesthetic or recreational purposes.
Filmed on 8-11-16. In the late 90's a group of investors decided to dam up the drainage water that flows from Las Vegas, and the 3 sewer treatment plants to form Lake Las Vegas. They even got the big home builders to build multi million dollar homes. Then got 3 casinos to build huge resorts around, and over the lake. Within 2 years the big housing market crash happened, and Lake Las Vegas shut doors. The main casino my son, and I filmed is the Hilton. Its almost like walking through a post popaliptic catastrophe. Billions of dollars lost. Thank you for watching, and please enjoy. FYI There are a few rooms you can stay the night. Very little staff, and casino is gone, and all restaurants are closed in the hotel. I have friends that were laid off just a couple weeks before its closing. I did...
Filmed on 10-18-2016. This is a part 2 of a video I shot 3 months ago titled "Semi abandoned Lake Las Vegas. The video had a mostly positive response by people who watched it. Though it had a lot of negative feedback, and some of it down rite mean. The video has had nearly 50,000 views, and is growing daily. Please go back on my channel and watch it. People asked if I would go back, and do another. People also told me I need to do my research because the place is completely thriving. I just couldn't believe what people were saying to me when I was there during construction of Lake Las Vegas. Then I was called out to do work there several times a month. I saw the decline of the area during the recession that hit Las Vegas the hardest. I have 3 good friends who worked at the hotels who got ...
This video is a brief tour of The Village at Lake Las Vegas, also known as the MonteLago Village. You'll see some of the various "shops" and "restaurants" (mostly sad empty storefronts), as well as some wonderful views of Lake Las Vegas itself. It's my briefest tour yet. Of course, you are free to leave constructed comments, but spammy comments will be removed. If you want to, give this video a like, and maybe even give me a subscription!

a beautiful Mediterranean themed community about 30 minutes from the LV Strip. There's hotels, homes, a few shops and restaurants, condos and the lake. You could rent various water toys at the marina in the village when we visited. The casino was closed, an employee at one of the hotels said it was being remodeled by new owners. The recession took a toll here but it looks like it's bouncing back. 2014
Take a drive through Lake Las Vegas, the Mediterranean inspired community in Henderson, NV. It's located roughly 17 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip, in the southeast Las Vegas Valley, yet it seems you've traveled worlds away. With a central village, 2 golf courses, and surrounding a 320 acre lake, the homes here are terraced into the hillsides and can offer some spectacular mountain, lake, and golf course views, and even the Strip can be seen from parts of the community. There are homes, town homes and condos, and the exclusive custom homes of the South Shore. There is a lot happening in Lake Las Vegas, and with many so surprised to see what it offers, I wanted to share a quick look with this video.
Lake Las Vegas is a beautiful resort style community located in the city of Henderson, NV. Contact Lauren Stark With The Stark Team to learn more about luxury real estate offerings or visit: http://www.lasvegasluxuryhomes.com
