Mt. Charleston Lodge

5375 Kyle Canyon Rd, Mt Charleston, NV 89124 ·  (702) 872-5408

For decades, the iconic 1960s octagonal log-and-glass Mt. Charleston Lodge at 7,717 feet at the end of Kyle Canyon Road was Southern Nevada's most beloved snowy winter and pine-scented summer wedding deck. An accidental early-morning fire on September 17, 2021 completely destroyed the main lodge and restaurant; while adjacent luxury A-frame guest cabins survived and remain bookable, formal lodge weddings remain paused pending reconstruction by owners Ellis Island.
