Dolce Hotels and Resorts has been selected by Village Hospitality LLC to rebrand and manage the former Ritz-Carlton® Lake Las Vegas that closed in May 2010. Dolce plans to open the new property in the first quarter of 2011.Dolce specialises in delivering meetings, weddings and other social event experiences through personalised service, premier cuisine and state-of-the-art facilities. The Lake Las Vegas resort is a natural fit for Dolce’s portfolio, which focuses on properties situated just outside major metropolitan areas on sprawling grounds where guests can recharge and reconnect.

The 349-room-and-suite resort sits on 15 acres of the master-planned Lake Las Vegas development, which features stunning vistas, miles of green, two resort-hotels, two marinas, residences and a European-style village. Its Mediterranean architecture featuring clay tile roofs and arched doorways is reminiscent of Europe’s colourful waterside villages. The property showcases 32,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space and a 30,000-square-foot spa and fitness centre, with multiple dining and lounge experiences. Located next to the resort’s spa, a heated pool provides guests a sophisticated retreat to relax year-round. The property adjoins MonteLago Village, offering scenic walking streets of boutiques and restaurants.

The resort can accommodate gatherings ranging in size from 10 to 1,000 attendees. Its advanced meeting space features an 11,841-square-foot ballroom with 7,423 square feet of pre-function area, a smaller 4,700-square-foot junior ballroom and 10 function rooms that include two elegantly appointed boardrooms. Technological amenities include state-of-the art electrical, lighting and sound systems, soundproof air walls and high-speed internet access in key gathering locations. Direct ballroom access is available for large vehicles and other oversized display items.

Lake Las Vegas is a pristine, master-planned 3,600-acre residential and recreational community surrounding a fresh water lake. Its old-world Mediterranean theme is reflected in the overall design and ambiance of this charming destination, unique to the desert southwest.
