Hotels in Las Vegas That Offer SCUBA Diving

Las Vegas is well known as "Sin City," but if scuba diving or snorkeling is where your passion lies then get ready to experience SCUBA in a luxurious, opulent setting. Lake Las Vegas offers fishing, boating, and snorkeling and scuba diving in a relaxed, international atmosphere. See the old Mormon town of St. Thomas, flooded in 1938, the haunted yacht Tortuga, or other dive sites appropriate for beginners to the experienced.

Spring Hill Suites by Marriot

This three-star hotel opened in July 2009 with 48 rooms on two floors, each with its own balcony or patio. Located on the beach, they offer boating and sailing, fishing, bicycling, and snorkeling in addition to scuba diving.

Thick, fluffy mattresses and comfortable pull out sofa beds make it easy to fall asleep after a long day in the water. Rooms are much larger than other suites at the same price in the area, so there is plenty room to spread out your gear.

Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas

This four-star hotel is located near Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Hoover Dam, and the Valley of Fire State Park, and it sits lakeside to allow easy access to water sports. The Hyatt offers the grace and relaxed atmosphere better suited to the Mediterranean than the artificial neon of downtown Vegas. Enjoy Pacific Rim cuisine before taking a paddleboat from the white sand beach. Fishing and boat tours are also popular.
