Calendar of Events

May 1, 2008 through Labor Day Weekend 2008

Moonlight Spa.

An exclusive al fresco experience offered only seven nights of the month: three nights during the waxing phase of the moon, once during the full moon, and three times during the moon’s wane. Since man’s earliest days, lunar phases have played a role in physical well-being, and The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas Spa offers three exclusive bodywork experiences inspired by lunar effect. These special treatments are experienced on the shores of the resort’s private lagoon, bathed in moonlight unobstructed by Las Vegas city lights. They are based on the applicable moon phase, inviting guests (individuals and couples alike) to connect to the natural rhythms of the moon above. During the waxing phase, gravity feels at its most intense, and deep therapeutic massage is combined with gentle stretching to relax the body and clear the mind. Contemplating personal goals is recommended during the waxing phase. A full moon signifies energy, and Moonlight Spa during this lunar energy period includes an invigorating massage with special attention to the scalp. Guests can take advantage of the intense energy of this phase to manifest their goals. When the moon finally wanes, surrender and calm prevail; the moon is in retreat, and the guest can retreat as well. Light, relaxed, soothing massage is performed at this time, employing delicate aromatherapy blends. Paying special attention to pressure points on the hands and feet will help guests surrender during this time of calm. Moonlight Spa guests will receive a crystal representing the phase of the moon under which they experience their outdoor treatment. The experience is available on specific nights selected from the lunar calendar.

Midnight at the Oasis.

An opulent midnight dining experience that offers white glove service, a gourmet culinary presentation and Cristal champagne served in one of the resort’s romantic private poolside cabanas.

Stars and S’Mores.

Ideal for date nights and family evenings, this one-hour viewing of the southern Nevada night sky provides stellar views free of the light pollution of the Strip. Guests are guided on a tour of the heavens using professional-caliber telescopes, and then treated to s’mores and beverages of the season. For special occasions, an official “Name a Star” opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime upgrade.

Dive-In Movies / Mojitos and Manicures.

Popular family movies and kid-friendly new releases are shown poolside while guests watch from pool chairs or floats. Poolside movie snacks including hot dogs, candy and snow-cones, are available at the concession stand. At the same time, parents may choose to enjoy Mojitos & Manicures from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. directly on The Ritz-Carlton pool deck. This grown-ups only add-on features a 25-minute nail service and nicely-chilled Mojito.

Fly by Night.

They say that fish may be hungriest just before dusk, and the healthy bass, trout, carp and catfish of 320-acre Lake Las Vegas are no exception in this end-of-day catch-and-release activity. Equipment is provided, and a fishing license is not required on the resort’s beautiful, private man-made lake. Guests may fish either from shore or a provided watercraft, or they may upgrade to a full fly-fishing lesson.

Night at the Beach.

A picnic basket for two or more is provided as guests lounge on a private lagoon beach, enjoying the starlit desert sky and the lush sounds of an adjoining waterfall just steps from the Mobil Four-Star resort’s 349 luxury rooms and suites.
Sundown Bike Ride. The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas offers a three-mile loop around the resort, allowing cyclists to view the flora, fauna and twinkling lights of magnificent mogul mansions surrounding Lake Las Vegas’ ten miles of shoreline. Bikes and maps are provided by the resort, and the property resort fee allows guests one hour of complimentary bicycle use.

Kids’ Night Out. Children can get away for a night of fun and excitement, while parents enjoy a quiet dinner at the resort’s romantic Medici Café & Terrace on Friday and Saturday evenings. The supervised night of fun includes a special dinner, movies, and arts and crafts from 6 to 9 p.m. -- or until 11 p.m. for parents needing a slightly longer “time out.”

Sunrise Yoga. A magical desert dawn experience, complimentary yoga classes are offered near the resort’s tranquil waterfall lagoon.

For Nights Without Neon activity reservations, call the resort directly at 702-567-4600.

Every Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m.
At The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas, the tradition of afternoon tea is alive and well.

Guests are offered a large selection including 12 types of Mighty Leaf loose teas, as well as six types of flowering teas, which make for a beautiful presentation when slowly steeped in hot water.

All teas are served with four kinds of tea sandwiches, an assortment of desserts and freshly baked scones with mascarpone cream, lemon curd, jams and marmalades.

Prices range from $40 to $48 for adults or $25 to $32 for children.
