There’s a new(ish) resort in town

Dolce Hotels & Resorts, a small (27-property) hotelier, is trying to make a go of it out at the Kingdom of Make-Believe (aka Lake Las Vegas). A symbol of the hollow “prosperity” of the pre-crash years, Lake Las Vegas is so beset with conceptual flaws that who knows if it will ever work. Here’s hoping Ravella finds a wallet-friendly formula that enables it to succeed where Ritz-Carlton failed.
