The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa

Our stay here was very good. After making our reservation, we had second thoughts after reading the negative reviews but decided to stay here. We didn't have problems. Our room was fine and spacious and the a/c was effective and quiet. The upper pool was good sized (though not the extravaganzas found at some places on the Strip) and there were lifeguards. I didn't try the lower pool, which I think is more for kids. The fitness room was good sized though the equipment was somewhat limited (treadmill, stationary bikes, elliptical, free weights is what I remember). The lounge has a good view of the fountains and lake. There are outdoor seating areas on the patio outside the lounge. We tried Rick's Cafe for breakfast; it was very good and most items were in the $16-22 range for a full breakfast, which while a bit pricey wasn't too shocking in an upscale resort. I think the hotel is non-gambling; at least, I didn't see any when I was there.

This was our second stay at the Westin Lake Las Vegas. It really is one of the prettiest resorts we have stayed at. Beautiful quiet setting on the lake with the mountains as a backdrop. We had a glitch checking in as my daughter booked with her Marriott points for our 40th anniversary at the DT Westin. Alexis was the check in clerk that kept working with us to get things right. (Since it was our daughter's points there was nothing she could do to change the location and we couldn't get ahold of our daughter.) We ended up paying for the room and she got us the best rate possible. Alexis also up upgraded us to a king sweet overlooking the lake and Mountains. The room (2009) was clean, nice, and very comfortable with an outdoor balcony. The pool area was large and beautiful with cute "kids" as lifeguards. We ate both nights at Rick's restaurant. They have the best lobster mac and cheese that I had the last time we were there! My husband enjoyed his halibut. We loved the cream of mushroom soup too! Catherine was our server and was very friendly and attentive. The manager, Lou, also came over and chatted with us. Nice live music in the lobby after dinner! They have the most incredible staff in the hospitality profession I have experienced at the Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa!

We stayed at The Westin Lake Las Vegas for a little family reset—and wow, it delivered exactly what we needed. Peace, space, and just enough luxury to feel like a real getaway, without the noise or crowds of the Strip. The first thing you notice is the setting. Nestled next to a quiet lake surrounded by desert hills, the views are stunning—especially at sunset. The whole property feels like a hidden oasis. You’re only about 25 minutes from Las Vegas, but it feels like another world. Rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had a lake view that was absolutely worth the upgrade. The beds (hello, Westin Heavenly Beds) lived up to their name and then some. We had the VIP Suite with an adjoined double queen room for our kids. The pool area was a highlight for our family. Plenty of loungers, a fun water slide for the kids, and lots of room to play or relax. It never felt too crowded, even during peak hours. We had a cabana and it was well worth it. Service was friendly and attentive across the board—from check-in to poolside servers. We felt genuinely welcomed. Just a quick FYI, while rooms have refrigerators, they do not have microwaves. there is one microwave on the lobby floor for the entire hotel.

Not sure why all the horrible reviews, this place is absolutely gorgeous! The lobby is beautiful and the view spectacular! They have a fun lounge area and live entertainment in the evening and we loved it! Our room was clean and comfy. My only negative was the bathroom was small and the shower was a tub (I don’t mind that so much, but the hubby prefers a walk in). The furniture around the property could use an update, but maybe I’m just not so picky. Everything was comfy and nice and we felt like we were in Italy or a fancy place in Cancun. Employees were awesome too. We’re coming back for sure! It’s hard to believe it’s in Vegas area. We LOVED it!!!!

No fitted sheets on the beds - this is amazing if you love to wake up with your feet touching the old bare mattress and the sheet rolled underneath you. It is so unhygienic. We requested fitted sheets 3 different times and received different answers each time. Finally we were told the hotel doesn’t have any. Management told us no hotels use fitted sheets any more but we just stayed in various Marriott hotels for 2 weeks (including the Bellagio) and this was the only one without fitted sheets. Also included is the broken elevator button and tape on the outlet in the coffee shop, and the extremely unsafe lifeguard. This is the theme of this hotel - looks nice from the outside and is in a state of disrepair and many health and safety issues inside.
