This is such a wonderful part of Las Vegas/Henderson. I went out there for the first time in over a year with my husband and our dogs. We were so happy to see Lake Las Vegas looks like it's really taking a turn for the best. It's nice out here because there were people and tourists but it wasn't over-crowded. The restaurants had plenty of patrons too. Every restaurant we went to was extremely dog friendly. If you head out here, I would highly recommend Sunset and Vines, and La Havana Cigar Bar. We had great service at both places. I'm sure we will be back sooner than later to try some of the other restaurants.
The only thing I noticed that was a little "Debbie-downer" was the lack of shops. I know this area was hit hard by the economy. It's great to see the Casino and the Ritz reopening, under other names and new owners. Hopefully, they continue the wine tastings and concerts on the lake this summer. Regardless, we will be back to check out the other restaurants and keep up with events out there. Anytime you need a break from the city, have a beautiful view and just want to relax...come here!
