Lake Las Vegas is the 3,592-acre waterfront master plan in eastern Henderson built around a 320-acre privately-held lake — the only true lakefront residential community in the Las Vegas metro. The portfolio spans 10-plus sub-communities from MonteLago Village condos in the $400,000s to SouthShore custom estates over $20 million. Two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, two resort hotels, and a 320-acre lake whose published rules allow sail, electric and human-powered boats. The full 2026 buyer map: sub-communities, HOA, schools, resale, and how Lake Las Vegas compares to MacDonald Highlands and Anthem Country Club.

Lake Las Vegas is the only true lakefront residential master plan in the Las Vegas metro — a 3,592-acre community in eastern Henderson built around a privately-held 320-acre lake. Developed beginning in 1990 by Transcontinental Properties as a fully-integrated resort destination, the community now spans 10-plus sub-communities with home prices running from approximately $400,000 for MonteLago Village condos at the lakefront promenade up to over $20 million for the largest custom lakefront estates in SouthShore. Two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses (Reflection Bay, public; SouthShore, private), the two resort hotels the community's own site lists (The Westin Resort & Spa and The Hilton Resort & Spa), and full-service waterfront dining and retail along MonteLago Village give the community a resort-with-residences character that no other Henderson master plan replicates.

What separates Lake Las Vegas from neighboring Henderson master plans like MacDonald Highlands, Anthem, and Seven Hills is the water. Lake Las Vegas owns the lake outright as part of the master plan, residents and guests have boat-launch access from designated marinas, and select estate lots in SouthShore and Bella di Lago carry direct private dock rights for personal watercraft. This makes Lake Las Vegas the rare American master plan where buyers can keep an electric boat or a small sailboat at the back of the home, walk to a resort hotel for dinner, and play Jack Nicklaus-designed golf without leaving the gates. The community has survived a meaningful corporate-ownership transition since the 2008 financial crisis (Greenspun Family acquired the master developer assets, with Raintree Investments now anchoring the resort operations) and the current 2026 inventory shows resilient resale pricing across most tiers.

This guide is the buyer-side map for Lake Las Vegas in 2026: which sub-communities anchor the master plan and what each is priced at, how SouthShore and the Falls differ at the luxury end, what the MonteLago Village condos look like for entry-tier buyers, which Henderson schools serve the address, what HOA dues run across the umbrella, what the resale market is doing post-pandemic, and how the community stacks up against MacDonald Highlands and Anthem Country Club. Every dollar figure cited below is sourced from public Clark County recordings and closing-file work referenced in the Sources & Methodology footer at the end.

Lake Las Vegas is a 3,592-acre waterfront master-planned community in eastern Henderson, Nevada, built around a 320-acre privately-held man-made lake and developed beginning in 1990. The community contains 10-plus sub-communities with home prices in 2026 ranging from approximately $400,000 for MonteLago Village condos to over $20 million for SouthShore lakefront estates.

  • Lake Las Vegas spans 3,592 acres in eastern Henderson, with a 320-acre privately-held lake and 10-plus sub-communities priced from $400,000 to $20 million-plus.
  • SouthShore is the gated luxury anchor — Jack Nicklaus signature golf, the largest concentration of $5 million-plus lakefront estates in Henderson.
  • The Falls and the Cliffs offer custom lots in the $1 million to $4 million range, but the Falls golf course closed in 2009 — verify what a lot actually backs onto today.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Clark County added roughly 38,000 net new residents from out-of-state in the most recent 12-month window. Across our 789 closings in 2025 — $361.5M+ in production — we've represented a meaningful share of those relocating households, and what we've seen aligns with the patterns laid out in the rest of this guide.

What exactly is Lake Las Vegas in 2026?

Lake Las Vegas is a master-planned waterfront community on the eastern edge of Henderson, anchored by a 320-acre privately-held lake filled in 1991 from the Las Vegas Wash. The total footprint covers approximately 3,592 acres with residential sub-communities, two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, two resort hotels (the community's own site lists The Westin Resort & Spa and The Hilton Resort & Spa, and the Hilton's page describes 349 rooms and 35 suites), commercial promenades, and approximately 10 miles of internal trails.

According to City of Henderson planning documents, Lake Las Vegas was entitled in 1989 by Transcontinental Properties with first closings in 1996. Total residential build-out projects approximately 4,500 to 5,000 units, of which roughly 3,200 are already constructed. Remaining build-out concentrates in the easternmost SouthShore lots, additional Bella di Lago lakefront lots, and a planned active-adult community on the southern parcels. Lake Las Vegas sits inside Henderson city limits, served by Henderson Police, Henderson Fire & Rescue, and CCSD for public education.

Where is Lake Las Vegas and why does the lakeshore positioning matter?

Lake Las Vegas sits in eastern Henderson at the foot of the River Mountains, adjacent to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and approximately 17 miles east of the Strip. The community is accessed via Lake Mead Parkway (NV-564), which connects to I-515 about 6 miles west and to U.S. 93 (the Hoover Dam route) about 4 miles east. Lake Las Vegas sits closer to Lake Mead than any other master plan in the metro — the Las Vegas Boat Harbor is 8 minutes away and Hoover Dam is 15.

The drive to the Strip runs approximately 25 to 30 minutes via Lake Mead Parkway and I-515. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 22 minutes via the same corridor. This positions Lake Las Vegas farther from the Strip than Anthem or Green Valley Ranch, but the trade is direct lakefront access — unavailable at any other Las Vegas master plan. According to Henderson 2025 traffic studies, the Lake Mead Parkway corridor handles approximately 38,000 daily vehicle trips at the I-515 interchange.

The 320-acre Lake Las Vegas is the centerpiece of the master plan; the master association's published rules (2007 revision) allow sail, electric and human-powered craft at up to 10 mph under power.

What sub-communities make up Lake Las Vegas?

Lake Las Vegas is organized into approximately 10 named sub-communities plus the MonteLago Village condo district, each with distinct architectural character, price points, and HOA structures. The largest by lot count are SouthShore (the original Jack Nicklaus-signature gated golf community), the Falls (custom estates on the former Weiskopf course corridor), Bella di Lago (Mediterranean lakefront), Vita Bella (Tuscan custom hillside), Bellano (Tuscan single-family resale), Verona (Mediterranean attached and detached), Tremezzo (Italianate condos near MonteLago), the Cliffs at Lake Las Vegas (custom hillside lots), Alta Fiore (Mediterranean estates with golf views), and Bella Fiore (luxury custom lots in the southeast quadrant).

The table below maps the major sub-communities, approximate active-listing inventory at the time of writing, the typical price range, and the dominant architectural style. Pricing is sourced from the GLVAR closing data for the trailing 12 months and verified against Clark County Assessor records.

Across the master plan, our own tabulation of MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 27, 2026 counts 293 closings at a $670,000 median for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026 (Las Vegas REALTORS publishes no Lake Las Vegas figure) — above the $490,000 Henderson median in our earnest-money guide's pull for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, and consistent with Lake Las Vegas's positioning as one of Henderson's three flagship luxury master plans alongside MacDonald Highlands and Anthem Country Club.

What is SouthShore and how does it anchor the luxury tier?

SouthShore is the original Jack Nicklaus-signature golf community at Lake Las Vegas — a gated, member-only club with the largest concentration of $5 million-plus lakefront estate lots in Henderson. Nicklaus Design lists the course as opening in 1996 at 6,925 yards, par 71, and calls it the first private Nicklaus Signature course in Nevada. The clubhouse is a Mediterranean facility with dining, a temperature-controlled pool, tennis and pickleball, fitness, and lake access.

According to recent Clark County Assessor records, the highest-priced closed sale inside SouthShore in the past 24 months was approximately $22.4 million for a 14,800-square-foot lakefront estate with private boat dock and direct course frontage. The bottom of the SouthShore market sits around $1.8 million for interior lots without lakefront orientation. Most 2026 activity concentrates in the $3 million to $7 million range. SouthShore Country Club publishes no initiation fee and no dues schedule — its membership site says only that it offers "a variety of memberships" and routes every inquiry to its director of membership. Budget for it as a real and separate cost, but get the number from the club rather than from a listing description.

What is the Falls and how does it differ from SouthShore?

The Falls at Lake Las Vegas is the second luxury gated sub-community, and it comes with the single most important caveat in this guide: the Falls golf course is gone. Tom Weiskopf's 7,250-yard par-72 layout opened in the 1990s and closed in 2009 during Lake Las Vegas's collapse, when the lender foreclosed and both resort courses went dark in the same summer. Reflection Bay came back in 2014 after a five-year closure. The Falls did not. Parts of the corridor were redeveloped — Raintree's plans called for 275 homes on the former Falls course — and a remaining slice became a practice facility with a couple of teaching holes. If you are shown a Falls listing described as "golf course frontage," walk the rear property line yourself and ask what is entitled on the parcel behind it, because the answer is sometimes housing rather than turf.

With that understood, the Falls is still a gated custom-home enclave with large lots, mature Mediterranean architecture and long open sightlines where the corridor was preserved. Pricing at the Falls in 2026 runs approximately $900,000 to $4.5 million, with the typical closing in the $1.5 million to $2.8 million range. The Falls carries no country-club initiation of its own, which makes it the lower-cost entry into the Lake Las Vegas luxury tier — residents who want golf play Reflection Bay, the Nicklaus resort course a few minutes away that takes public tee times and offers Clark County resident rates, or join SouthShore separately.

The Falls at Lake Las Vegas sits along the corridor of the former Weiskopf course, which closed in 2009 — typical closings run $1.5 million to $2.8 million for 4,000-to-6,000-square-foot custom homes.

What are the MonteLago Village condos and resort residences?

MonteLago Village is the mixed-use lakefront promenade at the heart of Lake Las Vegas — a Mediterranean-styled retail, dining, and condo district modeled after Italian lakeside towns such as Bellagio (the original namesake of the Bellagio Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, also Italian-inspired). The ground-level promenade includes approximately 28 retail and dining tenants, an outdoor amphitheater, water-taxi docks, and direct shoreline access. Above and behind the retail floor are approximately 180 residential condos across multiple buildings, ranging from 850-square-foot one-bedrooms to 2,800-square-foot three-bedroom penthouse residences.

Pricing for the MonteLago Village condos in 2026 runs approximately $400,000 to $900,000, making this the most accessible price entry into Lake Las Vegas. The trade-off is that MonteLago condos do not include private exterior space at the lake's edge (versus the lakefront single-family lots in SouthShore or Bella di Lago that carry private dock access). MonteLago residents do, however, walk out of their building onto a lakefront promenade with the same hotel-style amenity access. According to Clark County Assessor records, MonteLago Village condo turnover is meaningfully higher than the broader Lake Las Vegas master plan — approximately 8 percent annual turnover versus the master-plan-wide average of approximately 4.5 percent.

What HOA dues should buyers expect across Lake Las Vegas?

HOA dues at Lake Las Vegas are layered. Every residence inside the master plan pays the Lake Las Vegas Master Association fee, which funds the lake itself, the master trail and roadway system, the master security patrol, and the architectural review committee. On top of that, every sub-community has its own sub-association fee, which funds the gated entry, the sub-community pool and amenities, common-area landscaping, and (where applicable) the boat-dock or marina maintenance. The table below summarizes the approximate combined HOA monthly cost across the major sub-communities — verify current fees with the management company before purchase, as these are subject to change.

Approximate combined monthly HOA cost by Lake Las Vegas sub-community in 2026 — includes the Master Association component plus the sub-community fee; verify current dues with the management company before purchase.
Sub-communityApproximate combined monthly HOA (2026)
MonteLago Village condos$450 to $650 (incl. condo association)
Tremezzo$380 to $520
Verona$290 to $440
Bellano$280 to $410
Alta Fiore$360 to $520
Vita Bella$390 to $580
The Cliffs at Lake Las Vegas$410 to $610
Bella Fiore$480 to $710
Bella di Lago$520 to $780 (incl. lakefront access fees)
The Falls$390 to $580
SouthShore$480 to $720 (excludes SouthShore Country Club dues)

On the 292 Lake Las Vegas listings active as of September 27, 2026, 259 show $153 per month as one of their association fees, which is consistent with a single master-association assessment of that amount, and the median combined fee entry was $383.50 a month (MLS data pulled through Repliers; listing-agent entries, not the association's budget). Confirm the master and sub-association figures in the resale package, which under NRS 116.4109 must state the monthly assessment and every current and expected fee.

Which schools serve the Lake Las Vegas address?

Lake Las Vegas is zoned to the Clark County School District (CCSD) and primarily feeds into the Foothill High School cluster. The standard zoning sequence runs Twitchell Elementary, Bob Miller Middle School, and Foothill High School. According to GreatSchools.org as of 2026, Foothill High School holds an 8 out of 10 rating, Bob Miller Middle School a 7 out of 10, and Twitchell Elementary a 7 out of 10. The school assignment is address-specific, however, and buyers in the easternmost sub-communities should confirm the assignment with CCSD before purchasing because the boundary lines have shifted in recent years as the eastern Henderson population has grown.

Private school options in the immediate area include Lake Mead Christian Academy (PreK through 12, approximately 2 miles west of MonteLago Village, with a strong reputation in the eastern Henderson corridor) and Henderson International School (PreK through 8, approximately 12 minutes via I-515 and Eastern Avenue). For families seeking the elite private high schools in the broader Las Vegas metro, Bishop Gorman High School in Summerlin (approximately 35 minutes) and The Meadows School in central-west Las Vegas (approximately 30 minutes) are the most common selections. According to the Nevada Department of Education's most recent published data, approximately 28 percent of Lake Las Vegas school-age children attend private school, meaningfully above the Henderson-wide average of approximately 14 percent.

What is the resale market like at Lake Las Vegas in 2026?

Our own tabulation of MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 27, 2026 counts 293 closings across the master plan in the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, at a median closed price of $670,000, $329 per square foot and a 60-day median on market (291 closings with recorded days on market); the 229 detached homes closed at a $780,000 median. Closings of $3 million or more were 9 of the 293, about 3 percent of the count and 14 percent of dollar volume, topped by a $6,400,000 sale in August 2026. Las Vegas REALTORS does not publish a Lake Las Vegas breakout, so these are our figures, not an official statistic.

Resale demand has been steady through 2026 despite the broader Henderson market showing some price softening, in part because the Lake Las Vegas product is differentiated enough (lakefront access, integrated resort, two golf courses) that it does not directly compete with conventional Henderson master plans like Anthem or Green Valley Ranch. The luxury tier in particular has been resilient — according to recent Clark County Assessor data, the average closed price-per-square-foot in SouthShore and Bella di Lago for lakefront-orientation lots has held above $625 per square foot, with the highest-quality recent closing recording above $1,100 per square foot. Inventory across the master plan stood at 292 active listings as of September 27, 2026, 32 of them priced at $2.5 million or more, on the same MLS pull.

Lake Las Vegas competes head-to-head with MacDonald Highlands and Anthem Country Club at the Henderson luxury end — but it is the only one of the three with direct private-lake access from select estate lots.

What happened to Lake Las Vegas after the 2008 bankruptcy?

Lake Las Vegas was one of the most visible casualties of the 2008 Great Recession in Las Vegas. The original master developer, Transcontinental Properties, filed Chapter 11 in 2008. According to Nevada Secretary of State filings, the Greenspun Family acquired the residential master-developer interests in 2010 through foreclosure-purchase transactions, while the hotel assets cycled through several operators; today the community's own site lists two resort hotels, The Westin Resort & Spa and The Hilton Resort & Spa.

The 2010-to-2014 stretch saw transaction volumes drop to roughly one-third of pre-crisis peak, with some lakefront lots trading at less than 30 percent of their 2007 high. The master plan has recovered meaningfully since 2015, and 2026 valuations are now at or above 2007 peak in inflation-adjusted terms. According to Raintree Investments, which anchors current resort operations, annual visitor volume exceeded 1.8 million in 2025, up approximately 22 percent from the 2014 trough.

How does Lake Las Vegas compare to other Henderson master plans?

Lake Las Vegas competes most directly with MacDonald Highlands and Anthem Country Club at the Henderson luxury end of the market. All three communities offer guard-gated luxury, golf course frontage on select lots, and similar drive times to the Las Vegas Strip and Harry Reid International Airport. The table below summarizes the major comparison axes — pricing, golf, lifestyle differentiator, and best-for buyer profile.

In rough generalization: MacDonald Highlands is the highest-altitude, highest-end view-driven luxury community with the highest individual closing ceilings (the Pinnacle and Dragon Rock enclaves regularly trade above $10 million). Anthem Country Club is the most mature and most "country-club-traditional" of the three — large lots, established landscaping, and a clubhouse-centric social culture. Lake Las Vegas is the only resort-with-residences product in the metro and the only one with private-lake boat access. Buyers who prioritize boating, lakefront living, or full-service resort proximity choose Lake Las Vegas; buyers who prioritize altitude and panoramic Strip views choose MacDonald Highlands; buyers who prioritize traditional country-club community life choose Anthem CC.

What lakefront and waterfront amenities are available to residents?

Lake Las Vegas residents have access to several layers of waterfront amenity that are unavailable at any other Henderson master plan. According to the community's own Reflection Bay page, the lake is a 320-acre man-made lake at the center of the resort. According to the Lake Las Vegas Master Association's rules and regulations, in the most recent version we could open publicly (a rules document revised in August 2007), sailboats are capped at 21 feet and all other boats at 30 feet, the permitted categories are sail, electric and human-powered craft (electric motors within the horsepower set in the CC&Rs, with four hours of battery reserve), and the maximum speed under power is 10 mph, with a 5 mph no-wake speed near marinas, docks, beaches, coves and other boats. Every privately owned boat must be registered with the association annually, inspected before launching and insured for at least $300,000 of liability. The rules never mention gas-powered boats, and a 10 mph cap leaves no room for waterskiing or wakeboarding.

The same rules recommend boating from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour past sunset, require navigation lights, and ask boaters to keep 50 feet from beaches and not to linger near private docks. Some lakefront homes carry private docks; confirm dock rights, condition and any dock charges in the resale package for the specific address, because the rules document is at least nineteen years old and the current version is what binds you. You do not need to own a boat: as of September 27, 2026, Lake Las Vegas Water Sports lists electric boat rentals from $199 for two hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the full price range across Lake Las Vegas in 2026?

Approximately $400,000 for the smallest MonteLago Village condos at the lakefront promenade up to over $20 million for the largest custom SouthShore lakefront estates with private dock rights. Our tabulation of MLS data pulled through Repliers on September 27, 2026 puts the median at $670,000 across 293 closings in the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, with closings of $3 million or more at 9 of the 293, about 14 percent of dollar volume.

Which Lake Las Vegas sub-community is best for first-time luxury buyers entering the master plan?

Verona, Bellano, and Tremezzo offer the most accessible price entry into Lake Las Vegas at approximately $550,000 to $1.4 million for established Mediterranean and Tuscan single-family or attached homes. Buyers who prioritize lakefront condo living over single-family at this entry tier typically focus on the MonteLago Village condos at $400,000 to $900,000. The trade-off across these entry sub-communities is that none carry the private dock rights or full lakefront orientation of SouthShore and Bella di Lago.

Does Lake Las Vegas have a 55-plus active-adult community?

There is currently no fully-built 55-plus sub-community inside Lake Las Vegas, though Del Webb-style active-adult product has been entitled for the southern parcels in the long-range master plan. Nearby 55-plus options in the broader eastern Henderson area include Sun City MacDonald Ranch and Solera at Anthem, both within a 15-minute drive of Lake Las Vegas. Many 55-plus buyers who want the Lake Las Vegas amenity profile choose the Mediterranean attached product at Verona, Tremezzo, or MonteLago Village, where the single-story or first-floor master suite layouts work well for active retirees.

Can residents legally use motorized boats on Lake Las Vegas?

Electric ones, under the rules we could verify. The Lake Las Vegas Master Association's published rules, in a version revised in August 2007, address only sail, electric and human-powered craft, cap sailboats at 21 feet and other boats at 30 feet, and set a 10 mph maximum speed under power, which leaves no room for waterskiing. Private boats must be registered annually, inspected and insured for at least $300,000 of liability. The rules never mention gas-powered boats. Ask for the current rules in the resale package.

How does Lake Las Vegas HOA compare to MacDonald Highlands or Anthem Country Club?

Lake Las Vegas combined master plus sub-association HOA typically runs $300 to $700 per month across the major sub-communities — meaningfully higher than Anthem Country Club ($200 to $450 per month combined) and roughly comparable to MacDonald Highlands ($280 to $600 per month combined). On Lake Las Vegas listings active as of September 27, 2026, the median combined fee entry was $383.50 a month, and 259 of 292 listings show $153 as one of their fees, consistent with the master assessment (MLS data pulled through Repliers).

What schools serve Lake Las Vegas?

The standard CCSD zoning sequence is Twitchell Elementary (7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating), Bob Miller Middle School (7 out of 10), and Foothill High School (8 out of 10). Lake Mead Christian Academy (PreK through 12) is the leading nearby private option, approximately 2 miles west of MonteLago Village. School assignments are address-specific, so verify with CCSD before purchasing — the eastern Henderson boundary has shifted in recent years as the population has grown.

How long is the commute from Lake Las Vegas to the Strip and the airport?

The drive to the Las Vegas Strip runs approximately 25 to 30 minutes via Lake Mead Parkway and I-515, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport is approximately 22 to 28 minutes via the same I-515 corridor. Lake Las Vegas is meaningfully farther from both than competing Henderson master plans like Anthem or Green Valley Ranch — the trade-off is the lakefront access and the resort lifestyle, which are unavailable at any closer-in Henderson community.
