General Information

With its dramatic high Mojave Desert setting, Lake Las Vegas differs from many southwest resort communities. Its comfortable 2,000-ft. altitude ensures the air is fresh and dry and the hottest days of summer are both cooler and shorter in duration than those of many warmer desert resort destinations in Arizona and California. Whatever the season, guests can expect comfortably low humidity, plenty of blue skies and abundant sunshine. In the height of summer, primarily July and early August, the mercury often rises above 100F (38C). The low humidity of the area can make this peak heat relatively comfortable. Summer evenings tend to be especially spectacular. Winters are cooler and bring moderate to cool temperatures, with daytime highs of around 60F (16C) and chilly nights averaging 40F (4C). Rain is minimal, falling largely in fall and winter and on those rare summer afternoons when brief thunderstorms quickly move through.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las can help guests make arrangements through an outside vendor who typically charges from $35 per hour with a four-hour minimum. For reservations, please feel free to contact the concierge desk directly at 702-567-4781.

Besides the myriad entertainment, dining and shopping options available on the Las Vegas Strip, southern Nevada offers numerous museums and cultural experiences (the Liberace Museum, Atomic Energy Museum, Natural History Museum, Lied Discovery Children’s Museum, Bonnie Springs Ranch and more).
