The hype
Travelers love the serene lake views and pool complex but consistently note the rooms feel a bit tired and dated.
The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa
$130-250/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a Vegas vacation that feels like a Moroccan retreat, completely detached from the Strip's chaos.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Genuine silence at night (a Vegas rarity)
- Direct access to the lake for kayaking and paddleboarding
- Pet-friendly policy that actually welcomes dogs (up to 50lbs)
Snel Overzicht: It’s a 30-minute drive to the nearest casino, so don't book this if you plan to hit the Strip every night.
Beoordeeld door @BrigidaBattistessa5107291: I booked this on a whim to escape the noise, and it was exactly what I needed. My room had this incredible view of the lake, and sitting by the fire pit at sunset was the highlight of my trip. It feels like a hidden Mediterranean oasis in the desert.

Reality check
Service can be hit-or-miss—reviews frequently mention long waits for housekeeping or missing items like coffee pods.
- You are traveling with a dog and want easy walking paths
- You prefer a paddleboard over a poker table
- You are a family wanting a pool vacation without the 'club' vibe
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7.6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service is standard, but reviews frequently cite missed items (coffee, towels) and dust in vents.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, though some guests report hair in drains or 'foggy' windows from age.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure shows; reports of peeling paint on decks and occasional AC issues.
- Linens & towels: Westin Heavenly Bed linens are usually crisp, but towels can feel a bit thin/worn.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh (White Tea scent), but some hallways have a lingering 'old hotel' mustiness.

Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Lake View King (Upper Floors) — worth the upgrade for the silence and sunset views
- Casbah Villas — if available, for more privacy and space
Kamers om te vermijden
- Pool View rooms on lower floors if you want to nap during the day (music/kids)
- Rooms near the elevator banks — long hallways mean high foot traffic

“I am looking for a quiet stay and would love a room on a high floor facing the Lake (not the pool), away from the elevators. If a renovated room is available, that would be preferred.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a free shuttle to the Strip?
No. Historical reviews mention one, but it is not currently a reliable or free service. Plan on driving or using Uber/Lyft ($40+ one way).
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the main pools are heated, and there is a waterslide for kids. However, the 'beach' area was recently under renovation.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. The pet fee is ~$150 per stay, with a weight limit of 50 lbs. It is very dog-friendly with walking paths nearby.
Is the 'Village' walkable?
Yes, it's a short 5-10 minute walk to the Montelago Village, where you'll find a grocery store and a few restaurants.
What is included in the resort fee?
Typically ~$29-35/night. Includes high-speed wifi, bottled water, access to the fitness studio, and 1-hour kayak rental (first come, first served).
Are the rooms renovated?
Some are 'refreshed', but many guests still find the decor (carpets, furniture) to be on the older side compared to new Strip properties.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Seasons Grocery in the Village is a lifesaver—stock up on water, wine, and snacks there to avoid hotel markups.
- ✨
The 'Andalusian Garden' is a hidden quiet spot on the property perfect for reading away from the pool crowds.
- ✨
Ask for a 'feather-free' room if you find the standard Westin bedding too warm; they can swap for lighter linens.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'private beach' is quite small and often crowded with kids—don't expect a deserted island vibe.
💡Room service can be incredibly slow during peak breakfast hours; walking to Rick's Cafe is usually faster.
💡The hallways are exceptionally long; if you have mobility issues, demand a room near the elevator.
💡You can hear the pool music clearly from 'Pool View' balconies, which ruins the 'quiet desert' vibe for some.
💡Coffee pods are a frequent casualty of housekeeping shortages—bring backups if you're an addict.
