a championship golf course and spa treatments. Loews Lake Las Vegas was named
among the 500 World’s Best Hotels in Travel + Leisure magazine’s 2011 reader survey. Loews Lake Las Vegas, the only Nevada hotel on the list that is off The Las Vegas Strip, was applauded for being child and pet- friendly with 'water sports galore'. The Maverick Aviation Group (www.

Passengers also explore surrounding points of interest that include the Skywalk, Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Ranch.

TOURISM TALK KELLY SAWYER INTERNATIONAL SALES EXECUTIVE LVCA “One of our current themes is promoting activities and day trips out of Las Vegas. The
dining, the gaming and the nightlife take care of themselves and will always be there, but we are positioning Las Vegas as the gateway to the wider west, using the city as a starting and finishing base for a western tour. "The most popular option is, as
always, the Grand Canyon. You can drive to this in a day but it is easier to fly there and back. Then there's zip- lining at Boulder City, which takes half a day; you can go down to the lake; you can do the Valley of Fire or go to Zion National Park in Utah and then come back and spend the evening in Las Vegas.”
