Situated in the golf mecca suburb of Summerlin, the 541-room resort impresses from the moment you drive up on it. Its two towers accentuating its Mediterranean style architecture, along with its lavish landscaping, immediately makes the statement that this is a spectacular resort.
Walking the grounds only reinforces the resort image; you are reminded you are in a resort, not just a hotel or casino. You stroll down walkways past fish ponds until you finally come upon the massive 11,000 square foot grass edged pool with a cascading waterfall. For those who take their swimming seriously, there are also four 25-yard swimming lanes, and tucked amongst the trees, guests enjoy the privacy in their own cabanas. The pool holds 391,000 gallons of water –- more than enough to keep you cool in the Nevada heat. There are also two secluded whirlpools available 24 hours a day.
All of this is available while still being only 15 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip, when you have the urge to take in a big name show or a concert. When you are going to take in that show or event, a complimentary shuttle is available to take you to the Strip.
Room rates run from $179-$299 for a standard room, depending on the time of year. There are also golf and spa package promotions available from Marriott's website.

Casino
