Las Vegas, NV

Travelers and locals can find Lake Las Vegas just 30 minutes east of the Vegas Strip. Centered around the man-made reservoir, this oasis in the desert is a popular destination for celebrities — most recently, players from the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs stayed in the Henderson area in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and local icons like Celine Dion have homes here. If it’s good enough for Celine, then it’s definitely good enough for the Las Vegas local to skip town for a weekend and head lakeside for a day or two of leisurely dining, lake town strolling, and lazing by the water.
