Leaving Las Vegas
Skip the strip and take a gamble on ‘the other’ Vegas—where mountain bikes and kayaks rule and the real stars are in the sky.

Comfortably ensconced in a 9-foot kayak on a balmy Nevada afternoon, I paddled along the edge of Lake Las Vegas, enjoying a preternaturally tranquil scene. As the sun slipped low in the sky, the rolling, rocky hills around me turned soft pink, then, soon after, deep, luminous lavender. A waterfall babbled nearby. The only other sounds were the lapping of my paddle and the kayak’s bow gently cutting the lake’s surface.

Amid such serenity, I found myself grappling with a bit of cognitive dissonance—the confl ict psychologists talk about between one’s beliefs and actions.

I’d traveled here to spend several days at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas. The hotel spans one end of the 320-acre lake—the largest privately owned manmade lake in the United States—and is surrounded by acclaimed golf courses and rolling hills.
