Very good hotel in a bankrupt depressing ghost town. I stayed here because I was traveling with a 4-month-old Border Collie puppy and he would not have appreciated the concrete and noise of the Strip. The hotel is nice, the service is good, the room service food was good (the hotel doesn't have any outdoor restaurants that allow dogs, so I ate in the room), and everyone is friendly. However, the overall Lake Las Vegas development went bankrupt, leaving behind $1 billion in debt. The hotel is surrounded by bulldozed bare earth pads that were supposed to contain condos. The condo complexes that were actually built were about 5 percent occupied in October 2010. The hotel across the lake closed. The casino across the lake closed. It feels as though the entire area is going to be taken over by coyotes within the next 5-10 years.
[If you're traveling with a dog, there is a great dog park in Henderson about 10 minutes from this hotel. It is in Heritage Park on Racetrack Rd.]
