Loews Resort at Lake Las Vegas and Mount
Charleston
Loews Resort – A
Getaway with a Sushi Surprise
For
locals who want to get away but don’t have enough time to take a long vacation
or for visitors to Las Vegas, take a trip to Loews Hotel-Resort at Lake Las
Vegas for the perfect getaway setting. It’s certainly a wonderful contrast to
the Las Vegas Strip, and it’s set in the mountains overlooking the valley. In
addition to the distant view, its lakeside view is stunning. Secluded on 21
acres, Loews is majestic and nestled in the Lake Las Vegas Resort area just 30
minutes from town.
The
hotel has 493 guest rooms and suites, along with two restaurants, a
9,000-square-foot spa, and a children’s camp facility. Guests can play golf on
either of the two champion courses. This truly is a great family or business
destination.
Special Sushi Surprise
One
of the two restaurants located in Loews Resort is the Marssa, which features the
Japanese-style cuisine popular in Tokyo and Osaka. The menu highlights are sushi
and traditional dishes.
Master
Sushi Chef Osamu “Fuji” Fujita is the only sushi chef in the United States to
have received recognition of achievement by the Japanese Chef’s Association. For
guests and visitors, he even teaches classes, which are referred to as clinics,
as part of the Loews Culinary Institute’s sushi and sake sessions, which are
held every second Saturday of the month in Marssa’s private banquet room.
The
clinics are educational, fun and very stimulating, while promoting the art of
sushi. The two-hour sessions consist of hands-on instructions and tastings of
sushi and sake. The cost is $50 per person, which includes the supplies, and
participants may receive a gift chef’s apron. There is also a “Sushi Skool” for
kids, which are held during the summer. For more information about the sushi and
sake classes go to
www.marssalv.com. To find out more about the resort and activities and to
make reservations, call (702) 567-6000 or go to

Mount Charleston is a
Tranquil Retreat
Mount
Charleston, one of the great nature spots near Las Vegas, is only 45 minutes
from the Strip. It’s a beautiful, tranquil setting for those who want to enjoy
the outdoors. It is, perhaps, one of the best kept secrets in Nevada. The
mountain is home to a small community of permanent residents, and there is one
lodge near the top.
Mount
Charleston is approximately 8,000 feet above the desert floor. And it has the
grandeur of pine trees and all sorts of wildlife. The most common route is the
95 Freeway north, towards Reno, turning west at the Mount Charleston exit.
The new
owner of the Lodge at Mount Charleston, Dan DeArmas, has remodeled the
restaurant and revised the menu. There are cabins for rent at the lodge — just
right for honeymooners, vacationers, families and business retreats. Call
1-800-955-1314 or visit
