A few of the small Motels in Boulder city are not bad. I personally would stay at the Sunset Station in Henderson. Its only 15-20min away from the lake and real nice. It has one of the best Mexican food restaurants I have ever eaten in. The Fiesta is ok as well but not as nice as the Sunset.
Mead is awesome. Honestly, I dont think it is as choppy as Havasu most of the time although I have seen it extremely rough, but just find a cove and hang.
The narrows is my favorite place to hang. Lots of boats and cool scenery.
Have fun and be careful.

Im thinkin of launching at Lake Mead resort, and driving (on the water) to another launch area up the lake a bit and find some lodging that way.

Have I seen you there???? :boxed:
As for where to stay... Stay at the Hyatt in Lake Las Vegas. It is at the end of Lake Mead Blvd. 15 min out of Callville Marina... Nice place

Do yourself a favor and launch at Callville. Lake Mead Marina's ramp is WAY to flat.

I will be out there Mon-Thursday and people are telling me to launch at LM Marina instead of Calville because of low water. I have always launched at Calville in the past. Help me out here. Why am I getting conflicting stories? Thanks

Calville is at a "Launch at your own risk" deal. Water is way low. I would not launch there at all right now. Go to LV Marina instead, you will be fine there.

I believe LMM is closer to the gates to get into the park off of Boulder isn't it?
