What is The Lakes Las Vegas ?

The Lakes is a meticulously planned 2-square-mile community within Las Vegas, Nevada. Nestled in the Las Vegas Valley's western part, it's surrounded by the Spring Mountains and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The heart of this community is Lake Sahara, a large man-made lake. Originally, it was designed for two lakes but eventually settled for one. Constructed between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, it marked the valley's edge of development at the time. The Lakes features a blend of housing, including gated communities with single-family homes, condos, and commercial areas. With over 4,000 homes, it's a master-planned community known for its lakeside living and recreational amenities. Homeowners also enjoy the advantage of living within Henderson, ranked the #2 Safest City in America.

"We went here on the 4.5 hour tour. In January it was quite windy, so take a warm hat. They provide you with blankets and coats if you need them. Picked up on time from hotel, only 2 other people on this tour so was nice. Drove to the place to be then greeted by someone else. We booked with pink tours. The tour guide was such a lovely man and knew everything you asked. Made you feel very welcome. I enjoyed it but the only thing I wasn’t too keen on was the off road part where they try to give you a thrill near the edges which I personally didn’t enjoy BUT for others you will love.  It’s an amazing trip and would recommend" - TripAdvisor
