One of the best Hotels just outside Las Vegas! We love to vacation in Las Vegas and stay at The Strip or Downtown. Sometimes though, it just gets to be a bit much. During the busier times, we love to stay outside of Vegas. One of our faves is the J.W. Marriott Resort in upscale Summerlin, about 15 minutes north of the Las Vegas Strip. Beautiful manicured grounds, lagoons, waterfalls, majestic palm trees. Best of all....an AWESOME swimming pool! ~Kenneth King Bear
