New Year's Eve activities planned for Lake Las Vegas Resort residents

     Preparations for New Year's Eve are under way at the SouthShore Yacht & Beach Club. The staff is decorating the club with a Mediterranean Renaissance theme, according to Lisa Hungate, membership director.
      "We are going all out to reflect the ambiance and style of the Renaissance era, and plan to illuminate the club with soft candlelight and drape it with banners and beautiful ribbons and swaths of rich colors," Hungate said.
      Members and guests will start their evening at the club and then sail to the northern shore on a yacht to dine and ring in the new year at the La Chandele restaurant at Reflection Bay Golf & Beach Club.
      A dinner will be served at 9 p.m. followed by dancing to the sounds of The Smith Brothers. Masks, party favors and commemorative glasses of champagne will be handed out as midnight approaches.
      At the Hyatt Regency at Lake Las Vegas Resort, entertainment will begin at 9:30 p.m. with comedian Frank Miles. Recording artist Christopher Cross will perform at 10:30 p.m. Tickets for the festivities are still available.
      MonteCatini, a neighborhood of multiacre home sites, is the first residential subdivision to open in the resort area of the community. Its home sites are priced from $2 million to $5.8 million. Another neighborhood in that area is the guard-gated Sorrento, which has custom-home sites ranging from one-quarter acre to more than one-half acre. Prices start at $265,000.
      On the other side of the lake is the 550-acre guard-gated SouthShore, which features developments with a Mediterranean theme. Home sites are priced from the $310,000s to $1.75 million.
      PortaCielo features 72 homes with three floor plans ranging from 2,460 to 3,500 square feet. Prices start at $480,000, plus additional lot premiums.
      Lake Las Vegas Resort is being developed by Transcontinental Properties Inc.
      To visit, take Lake Mead Drive, seven miles east of Boulder Highway, to Lake Las Vegas Parkway. The information center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
