I'll be is Vegas this weekend (13-15 June) and will have my boat. We are staying on the strip at NY NY and want to wakeboard during the day. What is the best and closest location to put the boat in? Thanks -Ken

I suggest dropping the boat in at the old Las Vegas Bay Marina. It is the closest to the strip. They have relocated the marina, but there is still a launch ramp. We found some decent water in the main channel in the morning (it was even on Memorial Day weekend). When the wind kicked up, we headed to a protected cove that is long enough for some clean cuts and there is enough room to turn around. It is about a 1/2 mile down on the right hand side of the lake. Be careful beacuse there is exposed rock due to the low water levels. We found decent water there on a windy Memorial Day weekend, so you should do OK.

if you launch out of callville bay, you can find good water if you make a right turn, go about 10 min. from the marina to hidden cove, it is very protected and will give you decent water most of the day.

Jason and David, Thanks for the info.

John, I'll give you a call Thursday. Check hotels.com and do a search for Excalibur. We got a room $59.95/night.
