Q&A WITH LAKE LAS VEGAS MARINA MANAGER: BEADY PRINTY

— By Carlee Gettman

We sat down with Beady Printy, Lake Las Vegas Marina Manager, to learn more about the amenities residents can take advantage of on the water.

WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO AT THE LAKE? The 320-acre lake is a staple in our community and one of the things that makes Lake Las Vegas so unique. It’s the perfect place for neighbors and friends to relax, exercise and connect. But most of all--the lake is a piece of home for residents and we want them to treat it as such. All homeowners can register their personal aquatic gear that can be carried by hand and launch from the Village dock, free of charge. We encourage our community to bring out their own kayaks and paddleboards, including our younger residents who are at least 12 years old. Those who are younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

HOW DO RESIDENTS PROPERLY REGISTER THEIR PERSONAL

EQUIPMENT? Residents who are interested in using their own equipment on the lake must email me the cover page of their homeowners’ insurance, then visit my office to receive a verified Lake Las Vegas homeowner sticker to place on their gear. Residents can visit my office at 15 Costa Villago #110, located behind Seasons Grocery, Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Or they can stop by the docks on the weekends. WHAT OTHER AMENITIES ARE AVAILABLE AT THE LAKE? Lake Las Vegas Water Sports offers a variety of rental experiences from May through October, including kayaks, electric boats, paddleboards and donut boats. They also offer the flyboard experience, cable park and host events year-round on the La Contessa Yacht. The adventure doesn’t stop there – residents can also join the Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club and the Las Vegas Dragon Boat Club.

WHAT POLICIES SHOULD RESIDENTS KNOW ABOUT THE LAKE?

The safety of our residents and the regulation of the lake is always our top priority. To ensure every homeowner gets the most out of our community, we have certain policies and recommendations in place.

WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE SWIMMING DUE TO HIGH TRAFFIC.

THE HOURS OF THE LAKE ARE SUNRISE TO SUNSET, WHICH IS THE ONLY TIME THERE IS PATROL.

WE ONLY ALLOW ELECTRIC POWERED BOATS.

RESIDENTS MUST LAUNCH FROM THE VILLAGE DOCK, THEIR OWN LAKEFRONT PROPERTY OR SLIP.
