So is this Vegas? It is! This is what we call "The Lakes". It is a community built around a cement lake that is maybe 3-4 feet deep(?). Each home that is up to the lake owns a paddle boat, and or a mini boat (for the sake of the term) so that they can go out and enjoy the water. I find it funny, yet intriguing that this not so deep lake is such a novelty. I guess when you are in a desert like we are that such a lake like this would automatically become a note worthy and wanted. Or maybe it's just the aesthetic nature of water, which draws us to it. -Wendi

Lakefront Property?

Bit of a joke I think, unfortunately it might be seen as a model village, but if it don't rain too often........

As an employee of the Water Authority, I have to point out that "water features" like this are no longer built. This one snuck in in the care-free years before the drought.
Now, all newly developed properties in Las Vegas have NO grass in the front yard, 50% or less in the back and no water features! We'll also pay $1 per square foot for residents to take out their lawn.
hmmm I hope this lake does not dry up or the money they pay will sink with the lake but I wish I owned a water front property
