Lakefront master-planned community

The Lakes & Desert Shores

The Lakes and Desert Shores are two of Las Vegas' most distinctive residential communities — built around interconnected artificial lakes in the 1980s, they offer waterfront living in a desert city that has no right to have it. Paddle boats, lakefront homes, community clubs, and palm-tree canopied streets that make you feel like you're in Florida — at a fraction of Florida waterfront pricing.
