Grand Opening of Ravella at Lake Las Vegas

La Dolce Vita comes to Las Vegas sweeping visitors off their feet.

Lake Las Vegas welcomes its newest reinvented hotel on Friday with the grand opening of Ravella at Lake Las Vegas. Now a Dolce Hotel and Resort, the former Ritz-Carlton property, located 17 miles from the Strip, has retained most of its existing charm while having a less formal feel than its predecessor.

Its festive name derives from Ravello, a town in Italy which means “to revel” or make merry. And the hotel plans to do just that for the community. Dolce has truly integrated its new property into the local Lake Las Vegas neighborhood through partnerships with the village restaurants, so hotel guests can charge meals to their room. This alone will bring in fantastic revenue for the Lake Las Vegas community and encourage guests to frequent the local eateries.

Ravella is situated on the gorgeous shores of the largest privately owned, man-made lake in the United States. The hotel’s Mediterranean architecture is reminiscent of Europe’s colorful waterside villages. Ravella guests can enjoy sweeping vistas, miles of green, two marinas, a nearby Jack Nicklaus golf course and the neighboring village offers scenic walking streets lined with trendy boutiques and restaurants.

“Our resort will offer guests luxury experiences at affordable price points, whether they are traveling for business or pleasure,” said Steven A. Rudnitsky, Dolce President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Grand Opening of Ravella at Lake Las Vegas falls on Friday, February 11, 2011. Rooms start at $119; Nevada residents can stay for $89 until April 30th, 2011. Phone 888.810.0440 to make a booking.
