satellite retreat | Mediterranean

Check In

by American Way Staff

TAKE TO THE LAKE IN,
YES, VEGAS
Maybe you can’t beat the house, but you can break from it. Twenty minutes from the casino-walled Strip, the new RITZ-CARLTON LAKE LAS VEGAS opens its doors as a satellite retreat. Facing a 320-acre lake, man-made of course, the resort models the Mediterranean complete with beach, 36 manicured golf holes, an opulent spa, and a water-spanning, guestroom-housing bridge based on Florence’s famed Ponte Vecchio. The casino spares players the drive to town. From $200. (800) 241-3333, www.ritzcarlton.com
