I always say you can find everything and anything in Las Vegas and that includes an astounding replica of a quaint, peaceful Italian villa.

OK, Lake Las Vegas isn't exactly in Las Vegas, it's just outside of Vegas, in Henderson, Nevada, about a half-hour away, but it's worth the short trip.

If you want to spend some time in Italy, while visiting Las Vegas, plan on a side trip to this true oasis in the desert. Stroll the convincingly authentic replica streets and do some window shopping, or stop for refreshment at an outdoor café before ducking into the cozy and intimate casino for a bit of gambling.

Sit near the lake and enjoy the cool breezes and lose yourself while watching the colorful watercraft sail by at scenic Lake Las Vegas.
