Lake Las Vegas To Expand
Development Patterned After Mediterranean Village
The centerpiece of MonteLago Village will be the Las Vegas area's first branch of the pricey and exclusive Ritz-Carlton hotel chain. The 350-room hotel will be built right on the shores of Lake Las Vegas and will be connected via walkways to a 40,000 square-foot European style casino and a world-class spa.
Patterned after a Mediterranean village, the development will mostly consist of cobblestone pedestrian walkways and no auto traffic. These walkways will connect the hotel, casino and spa to cafes, restaurants, shops, boutiques and "quiet piazzas," according to the press release.
Also on the drawing board are more than 800 residences (mostly condominiums), office space, and a new golf course designed by pro Tom Weiskopf. Guests of the Ritz-Carlton will have priority in terms of tee times.
Construction of the new development is expected to begin within the next couple of weeks and could be complete as early as fall of 2002.
