Villa Private Pool over Lake Las Vegas in Henderson

Good not Great

I hate to be negative (not really), but critical reviews are truly the only ones that are helpful to vacationers. I wish someone had left us one before booking. This is a nice home, but this will help temper your enthusiasm after reading the other reviews.
The home has definitely taken some renter abuse over the years. A few of the mattresses aren't in very good shape and the carpet is starting to look bachelor pad'esque. The fact that the pool is undersized becomes apparent as the roaming Pool-Bot slams repeatedly into your ankles. The TV in the den takes on a wicked glare in the morning an becomes almost unviewable. It's a solid 15 minutes drive to anything and 30 plus minutes to the strip, so plan your day accordingly. The most important thing that the other reviews failed to mention is the condition of the Lake Las Vegas development itself. It's not the thriving casino/lake resort that the photos would lead you to believe. It's actually a modern day ghost town and a painful reminder of the housing mess in Las Vegas. Golf courses are shut down and growing weeds, casino and plaza/restaurant area was empty. Not a soul was using the lake...in August. I would estimate that 80% of the Lake Las Vegas area is unoccupied.

Loved our time in this home. The view, the quiet neighborhood - perfect! Home is just the right size for the two of you or the whole family. Kim,the owner,is a pleasure to deal with and made the rental process very easy. Thanks Kim for everything.

This was the perfect villa for a romantic getaway. My wife and I celabrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary at this beutifull villa. We enjoyed the entire villa to include the private pool and awsome views of Lake Las Vegas and Mountains. Sunrise and sunsets views are awsome at this villa. We also enjoyed Montelago Village which was very close to this villa. The village has wonderfull views of the lake, great restaurants and a casino. We ended our last night with a romantic Gondola boat ride on the lake. We also went to the strip to see some shows and the crowd which is only 17 miles from the villa. It was really nice to come back to this villa after all of the strip crowd to relax in your villa and pool. We will definately rent this villa in the near future when we come to Vegas. Thank You Kim, your AWSOME!
