the lakes

A resort-like locale to beat the Las Vegas desert heat

The Lakes is a 2-square-mile master planned community that broke ground in the 1980s. It is located within the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada close to the western part of the Las Vegas Valley near the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The main attraction of the community, and its namesake, is Lake Sahara, a large man-made lake. It was originally planned to have two man-made lakes but was downscoped to one. It consists of a mixture of gated communities consisting of large single-family homes, condominiums, commercial areas and offices.

Folks in the area are able to enjoy mature greenbelts, man-made lakes, well-maintained walking trails, and a wide variety of water sports.

The community is bounded by Sahara Avenue to the North, Durango Drive to the east, Desert Inn Road to the South, and Hualapai Way to the West. Several other notable communities are adjacent, including Summerlin to the west and Peccole Ranch and Canyon Gate to the north.
