Lakeside Village in Desert Shores

A LUXURY-LIFESTYLE EXPERIENCE

BY ELAINE & SCOTT HARRIS

Las Vegas is world-renowned for its glitz and glitter, but there is so much more, less than 30 minutes from the neon lights. Lakeside Village, located in the affluent Summerlin and Desert Shores, extends a one-of-a-kind experience unmatched in Las Vegas. The cloudless western sky is a deep azure blue, and a gentle breeze caresses the palm trees adjacent to the sparkling waters of Lake Jaqueline. All these things equate to a place to relish the unique lakeside experience along the shores of this unique pristine desert community oasis.

The Lakeside Village experience allows guests to indulge in world-class cuisine with lakeside views, enjoy a spa treatment, plan a meeting, or celebrate a wedding of any size. Imagine pampering yourself at the award-winning salon, attending special events at the members-only wine club, and even setting up an office in the executive suites, all within a short walk around the Village.

Anyone looking for a world-class Spa experience in the Las Vegas area need not look any further than the Spa at Lakeside 2.0. With 21 years in the same location owner, Richard Spradling continues beautifying the spa treatment rooms while finding innovative, enhancing ways that contribute to customers’ well-being. Package Specials are available, along with individual and couples massage therapy, bodywork, waxing, facials, and now with the addition of Yoga classes. Imagine an invigorating gentle yoga class on the newly built deck within a tranquil oasis setting overlooking the sparkling blue waters. Yoga classes are available with registered RYT200 instructor Brittani Jones. Find your bliss and beauty in the 6,000 square feet of tranquility.

The Village is even home to Rejuvenate Me Medspa that provides a premier rejuvenation of your face, mind, and body! Rejuvenate Me is owned and operated by Marilyn A., a Nurse Practitioner. Marilyn completed her master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner through Touro University Nevada, and she continuously expands her training in aesthetic practices through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

Also, a gorgeous fourth outdoor location, Waterfall Garden, features a lovely waterfall and garden view. Additionally, the outdoor venues will allow you to have an exquisite Las Vegas gazebo wedding as well.

Marche Bacchus

Lakeside Village restaurant row provides many options to indulge your palate, from Casual fare to Fine Dining. Marche Bacchus is well known for brilliant sizeable outdoor dining and lakeside views. Owners Jeff and Rhonda Wyatt have quite a history with Marche Bacchus. They purchased the historic venue in October of 2007 after spending the past eight years as loyal customers and friends of the previous owners, Gregoire & Agathe Verge, a couple from Burgundy, France, and never looked back. The Wyatt’s are no strangers to the world of excellent food and fine wines. Growing up in and around New Orleans, excellent food and wine have always been fundamental to them, and you can feel their passion from the moment you walk through the entrance.

Marche presents a variety of traditional and contemporary French dishes, including meat and seafood dishes and Vegetarian/Vegan and Children’s menus. Renown Michelin Star Chef Andre Rochat, a pioneer in the Las Vegas dining scene by introducing the city to its first freestanding fine dining experience, is now in the kitchen creating his classic creations.

In addition to dining in, Marché Bacchus is a fully licensed food and liquor caterer for any event you can imagine. Stroll through the wine shop, pick out a nice bottle of wine, take a seat lakeside.

“Americana Restaurant is dining with a blended cultural theme of modern American cuisine with varied European interpretations,” said Chef/Owner Stephen Blandino. Blandino is a Staten Island native and passionate about cooking. His food lineage dates to his two Italian grandmothers, where he would spend his time learning how to cook with them. Blandino graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. After graduating, he worked under Charlie Palmer at Aureole in New York. After a year, Blandino moved to Las Vegas to cook at Aureole Las Vegas, working from line cook to Executive Sous Chef. In 2003, Blandino accepted an offer from Palmer to be the Executive Chef at Charlie Palmer Steak at the Four Seasons Las Vegas.

Americana

For casual fare, enjoy breakfast or lunch at Buena Vista Kitchen. Chef Manny Garduno brings his family recipes to your palate and plate with authentic Mexican cuisine. Garduno is known for his special spices and fresh food to the delight of his guests. Dine Al Fresco or take your food to go. No matter which way you choose, you won’t be wrong. “Since my early days, I have been fascinated by the Aztecs’ influences on Mexican cuisine, and I started to explore everything related to Mexican foods. Some traditional Mexican food dates back thousands of years, and the dishes that the Aztecs and others ate are still popular today. “My Grandma taught me how to take the fresh produce from the farm directly to the table, as this was the best way to create the most authentic flavors of the traditional Mexican foods. As I grew up, I traveled all through Mexico and the United States in search of the best flavors I could make for my customers and their appetites!” Garduno said with a smile.

Coming soon, James Beard Award-Winning Chef Luciano Pellegrini, who won Best Chef Southwest 2004, will bring two concepts to Lakeside Village. The menu will be like his current Southern Highland location—Heavenly Pies but with an extended trattoria menu. The other new one will be the exclusive members-only Yacht Club with impressive views of Lake Jacqueline, bringing authentic fine dining to the Village and Desert Shores. The Yacht Club will be a restaurant and offer future lake cruises, wine dinners, live music, and other luxury lifestyle amenities.

Hell’s kitchen winner Chef Scott Commings and Chef Manny Garduno combine to open The Daily Bread that will be the perfect place to start your day. Scott Commings was a contestant on Season 12 of Hell’s Kitchen and was the winner. As a result, he was awarded a head chef position at the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The casual eatery will offer house-made bakery items and much more throughout the day.

Restaurant Row at Lakeside Village with Chef Andre Rochet, Chef Scott Commings, Chef Luciano Pellegrini, Chef Steven Blandino, and Chef Manny Garduno combine prestigious awards and world-class cuisine as perhaps nowhere else in the city can.
