The Resort on Mount Charleston

An escape from the blinking neon lights of the Strip, this resort is located 30 minutes from the city in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Embracing its mountain surroundings, the exterior of the hotel is a mixture of bare wood and stone, and inside, the rustic atmosphere is enhanced with huge fireplaces, exposed wood beams, and rich leather furniture. However, all of the 61 rooms and suites have updated amenities like iPod docking stations and flat screen TVs. The on-site Hideaway Spa is also popular with those who spend their days hiking through the area and need to unwind at night.
