| - Montelago Village @ Lake Las Vegas is a hidden gem in the desert as several posters have said. Like all resorts in the country, LLV has felt the affects of the poor economy. LLV is busiest mostly during the weekend and evenings.
During the spring/summer and fall, the village offers free concerts on Friday and Saturday nights. ALL of the restaurants there are great, including the best breakfast in town at the casino cafe. The sports-bar cafe has a giant foot long hotdog which is a must see and must eat!
I've stayed several times at the Viera Condos. These are actually owned by individuals and turn into hotel rooms when they aren't using them. So, for the same price as a most hotels., you're getting a well decorated, full-size condo with up to 3 bedrooms, kitchens, dishwashers, microwaves... you could literally move in!!!! When you stay there, the rooms are cleaned everyday. It's a great concept!! The one we rented had a large patio with awesome views of the lake, pool and mountains.
Montelago Village is not the strip. It's the anti-strip. But, close enough to see show and have dinner, but return to tranquility.
If you want to relax and unwind, have some great meals and be close to the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon, this is your place! If you want party central, go to the strip. This place feels like a village in Italy. Slow paced, quaint and world away.
