@woobert - This is the "rest" of the story:

"Steve Weber, a lake and river ecologist who works as a consultant for Lake Las Vegas, said the algae is only toxic to fish and amphibians that use gills to breathe. It poses no danger to humans, dogs, birds, amphibious insects or even "a cow that might drink out of the lake," he said.

Weber said the bloom is naturally occurring and might have already peaked.

There is no way to treat for it in a lake of this size, so the algae will be left to run its course. He said it should disappear on its own in a few weeks."

No drama, please, woobert.

Well, she did have a girly calendar shot at various LLV settings and from what I remember ('cause I have one) it was lovely. Tester and Bldblu, you probably have one, too.

Oh! One more thing - Why are some of you so angry? If you are not a part of the community or you don't like the community - why does it matter to you what happens?

I have been enjoying reading all the posts and have to agree with DavidM64, maggiellv, tester, Bouvier, and some of what bldblu have said. I felt my blood boil, however, at some of the mean and hateful comments others have made-most of which have nothing to do with those of us who live there.

I, too, am a resident and am familiar with a lot of what is happening at LLV. Of course, none of us like what has happened since Atalon took over from Transcon, the original developer. Most of the early buyers bought at LLV for the lifestyle, the security and the environment. All of which we still enjoy. I go to The Village at least once a week to enjoy the restaurants, the shops, outdoor concerts and weekend activities. I am not a gambler, so I rarely visited the Casino, but was a visitor to the Ritz for evening tea or a cocktail. I will miss the Ritz; but feel confident that another brand will come in and we'll be able to enjoy that lovely facility, once again. In the meantime, the real LLV residents will continue to go to The Village, enjoy the outdoors, and watch the sunset from our balconies. It is a tight community, but one that welcomes the rest of the valley to enjoy what we have for years. BTW, The Village has always opened it's doors to the community with free concerts on the lawn, children/family movies by the lake and family-friendly events through-out the year. Those who criticize LLV ought to come out some weekend and see for yourself what a grand time we are all having...you just might find that you,too, are having a great time.
