Anchor Campus · The Westin & Hilton Lake Las Vegas Waterfront Resorts + DragonRidge Country Club (145,000+ sq. ft. Non-Casino Lakefront Resort Ballrooms, Over-Water Ponte Vecchio Bridge, Private Yacht Marina & MacDonald Highlands Ridge Clubhouses)
Las Vegas's premier zero-casino waterfront and guard-gated country-club sanctuary in Henderson. Combines a 320-acre private Mediterranean lakefront village—anchored by The Westin's Andalusian beaches, Hilton's Florentine Ponte Vecchio bridge, Reflection Bay's Jack Nicklaus clubhouse, and the 80-foot La Contessa private yacht—with DragonRidge Country Club's elevated MacDonald Highlands ridge overlooking the entire glittering Las Vegas Strip skyline just 22–25 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport via I-215 and Lake Mead Pkwy.
5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Advisory
Eastbound I-215 through Green Valley experiences commuter volume weekdays 4:30 PM – 5:45 PM, and golden-hour photography along the MacDonald Highlands ridge and Lake Las Vegas shoreline peaks 35 minutes prior to civil twilight—dispatch Strip or airport shuttles 30 minutes ahead of ceremony or cocktail doors.
Charter Coach & Sprinter Staging
56-passenger DOT motorcoaches and executive Sprinters enjoy dedicated non-casino resort porte-cochères at The Westin (101 Montelago Blvd) and Hilton (1610 Lake Las Vegas Pkwy); MacDonald Highlands guard-house security requires a pre-registered vendor and charter manifest 48 hours prior to arrival at DragonRidge Country Club.
