Lake Las Vegas Rises from the Ashes

Like the mythical Phoenix, Lake Las Vegas is rising from the ashes of the real estate melt down. Still the most unique and beautiful of any of the Las Vegas master planned communities, Lake Las Vegas stands like a Tuscan mirage in the middle of the desert, and once again new home builders are taking the plunge to put it back on the map as one of the most desirable projects in the country.

Set on 320 lush acres with its own private lake, three hotels, a casino, the Lake Las Vegas Marina and home to the prestigious South Shore Golf Club, Lake Las Vegas is an elegant European themed resort destination with 1400 luxury homes and condos surrounding the Montelago Village, a boutique collection of shops and restaurants. Each year over 20 events are featured in the community with wine walks, Shakespeare in the Park, beer fests, dragon boat festivals and more.

Like the rest of the city, Lake Las Vegas was hit hard by the real estate crash. Several of the surrounding golf courses closed, the Ritz Carlton shut its doors and even the casino went dark. But over the past few months, a renaissance has arrived along with international buyers looking for second homes. The “buzz” is back. The Ritz Carlton became the Ravella, the Montelago Casino opened, and The Golf Club at South Shore is offering incredible membership options to homeowners.

Harmony Homes and Woodside Homes are on the band wagon and offering some amazing incentives for Las Vegas home buyers. Harmony Homes has two lovely developments in Lake Las Vegas, and through the end of December is offering to pay two full years of homeowner’s association dues for all buyers that go into contract before December 31st in addition to some upgrade incentives. Homes sizes run from 2300 sf to over 4600 sf starting in the low $300s. Woodside Homes, starting in the low $200s, has standing inventory from 1779 sf to 2361 sf with golf course lot premiums included in the base price. In addition, Toll Brothers is closing out the last few units in their exclusive townhome development with lake and golf course frontage from 1600 sf to 2181 sf.

So if you’d like to be neighbors with Celine Dion, now is the time to take a look at fabulous Lake Las Vegas and take advantage of the great home prices and discounted golf and marina memberships. There are even some great foreclosures in Lake Las Vegas too. You only live once - and what a way to live!
