The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, NV [Master Thread]
It seems that "Loews Lake Las Vegas" is changing flags to the Westin.
Nice addition to LV. Now it's time to head for a new property in the strip.

I am always happy to see new SPG properties however,,, This location is so far removed from the Las Vegas most visitors/convention attendees want to experience that it should be named something else.
I have stayed at this property-long long ago and I would never think to stay there again except as a get away from Las Vegas.
It is a VERY nice property.
Thanks for the heads up Ehud!

Just an aside...Hilton just picked up the Planet Hollywood Westgate Tower adding another HH option in LV. Just don't get that *W can't get their act together on the strip.

Completely and totally agree... I have a 120k Starpoints set aside for my vacation this summer, and I'd really love to go back to Vegas, but don't really want to stay off the strip. A Cat6 Strip property would be perfect for me.

It is a nice property. I just would not want folks thinking that this is anywhere near The Strip.
I have often(in the past) stayed at the JW Marriott in Summerlin. And I am a frequent guest to the Element in Summerlin. these seem to take less time to get to than Lake Las Vegas. But I still advise folks that they would not be my first choice for those wishing for a "Vegas Vacation"

It is a pretty nice place, but Lake LV has been absolutely dead for a few years. Do they even have a casino out there anymore? I see they are opening as SPG cat 3 but I bet the room rates will be close to zero come July/August. I will probably check it out as an SPG plat but yes, LV needs a high end SPG hotel on the strip.

Room rate: USD 139.00
Room rate excludes the following:
Occupancy Tax: USD 16.68
12.00 % Per Room / Per Night
Estimated total: USD 155.68
this is just like the rip-off "fuel surcharge" that airlines charge. it's a cost. put it in the rates. do restaurants charge a "cutlery surcharge" because they put a fork and knife on your table?
