Lake Las Vegas is located in Henderson, Nevada. Lake Las Vegas refers to both a man made 320-acre (1.3 km²) lake and to the 3,592-acre (14.5 km²) area built around the lake. The area is sometimes referred to as the Lake Las Vegas Resort.

Lake Las Vegas filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 17, 2008. Debts were estimated at between $500 million and $1 billion.

The area includes several hotels and casinos including the MonteLago Village Resort, the Lowes Lake Las Vegas Resort (formerly the Hyatt Regency), The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas, and Casino Monte Lago.

The dam, completed in 1991, that creates the lake is an earthen structure 18 stories high, 4,800 feet in length and 716 feet wide at its base. It contains roughly the same amount of dirt as Hoover Dam does concrete. www.lakelasvegas.com/
