| - Previously a Ritz Carlton, this Hilton is an inviting oasis away from the strip. If you're expecting the dazzling lights and excitement of Las Vegas, you won't find them here. What you will find is a pristine resort with a luxurious salt water pool and an adorable village to explore. It's definitely the best place to stay if you're visiting family in Henderson. There's a lot to do here--especially for families. Rent a kayak, boat, or paddle board to explore the lake, indulge in a spa treatment, or simply walk around the manicured gardens.
During the week, the village is a ghost town, but the coffee shop is open early. Friday and Saturday nights things ramp up--not quite Vegas style, but still fun. If you're craving casino life, sign up for the free shuttle to The Strip (drop off and pick up is in front of MGM Grand). Yes, the food at the hotel is pricy and they charge a resort fee (that covers your shuttle, bottled water in the room, etc.) but relaxation and personable service is guaranteed. So, skip the Fiesta casino (with their thick, neck crimping pillows and smoke-filled lobby) and drive a few extra miles to this peaceful gem in the desert.
