"My review is really more like 3.5 stars, but as that is not an option, I'll be generous and round up. \n\nI stayed here for almost a week when my company hosted an event here. The pictures on the website got me excited since it looked gorgeous. In real life, while the hotel is definitely nice and beautifully decorated, the surrounding area is a ghost town. Lake Las Vegas was built during the last stages of the real estate boom and as such was the first to fall. Gorgeous vacant homes are surrounded by brown, dying, bankrupt golf courses. There is a little \"village\" of shops nearby that was completely empty of shoppers and restaurant patrons on a saturday night. The casino down the road has closed as well. So, while Loews is very pretty and richly laid out, it's a bit like the one live flower in a field of dying ones. \n\nSurrounding area aside, the place is huge and the service is good. The restaurants have great (albeit pricey) food, which is good because they're going to be your only options unless you want to drive outside of the entire Lake Las Vegas area into Henderson. The bar closed super early as well, so I managed to get plenty of sleep!\n\nOverall I had a good experience, but unless I was specifically looking for a secluded, no night life vacation, I would not come to stay here outside of business."^^ .
