Perched just above the beautiful waters of Lake Travis in Austin’s hill country, the Lakeway Resort and Spa is the ideal destination of tranquility and relaxation, providing the perfect setting for your next staycation getaway.

 

Nearly all of us have the same day dreams, thinking about all of the other things we’d rather be doing than being stuck at work or in a stressful environment. If you’re like me, you fantasize of enjoying a relaxing spa treatment with a glorious massage or facial, then sunbathing poolside with your family or friends while sipping on frozen margaritas.  How about the peaceful feeling of watching a spectacular sunset as you sit back in and enjoy a warm breeze brushing gently across your face?

Yes indeed!  Nearly everybody desires the elevated experience of a hill country resort getaway.  Lakeway Resort and Spa can bring those day dreams to fruition by helping you plan your very own staycation this season.

 

Dining

Guests of the hotel enjoy the resort’s very own T.R. Restaurant, offering a diverse menu of Southern comfort dishes made with fresh local ingredients.  They’re open for breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring guests’ favorites like the Cowboy Ribeye, the Crispy Seared Salmon and the Blackened Texas Redfish.

 

Accommodations

Each room has been completely redesigned to create a relaxing experience throughout the resort.  Our room provided a spacious mix of rustic elegance with a modern yet sleek decor. The deluxe king room boasted a furnished balcony offering a spectacular view of Lake Travis, providing a perfect setting to relax with a drink or cup of coffee.  All rooms also feature both natural and neutral accents with a range of modern amenities, like free Wi-Fi, refrigerators, and high def tvs for those that need to stay connected.

 

The Spa

If you’re ready to rejuvenate your body with a relaxing treatment while looking over Lake Travis, the Spa at Lakeway will become your sanctuary.  The spa offers seven different treatment areas with separate men’s and women’s locker rooms that accompany dry saunas and separate lounges with a private outdoor terrace.  Photo by Lakeway Resort & Spa.

 

Poolside Fun

For those interested swimming poolside, the resort offers 5 pools, complete with stunning hill country and lake views.  Cabanas are also available on a first come, first serve basis along with a splash garden for younger children.  For those that fancy a frozen cocktail while soaking in the sun you’ll love the three-level swim up adults-only bar complete with a drink and small dining menu for lunch and snacks.

 

The Kid Zone

When compared to other hill country resorts, the Kid Zone is one of the most unique features of Lakeway Resort and Spa.  It boasts loads of fun kids’ activities, including movies, games, arts and crafts.  If you have kids they’ll love the ping pong, pool and air hockey tables as well as the pinball machine and other games available.  It’s fair to say, the adults would probably enjoy the Kid Zone just as well.  Photo by Lakeway Resort & Spa.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
