Summary: With the old world charm of a Mediterranean town, MonteLago Village is a pedestrian-only setting. Adorned with winding cobblestone streets, quiet piazzas, charming shops, restaurants, and the luster of days gone by. And, it’s just twenty minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.

Montelago Village , a 50-acre residential and retail development by Vancouver-based Intrawest Corp. opened in late 2002. It is the centerpiece of the $5 billion Lake Las Vegas Luxury resort developed by Santa Barbara, California-based Transcontinental Properties Inc.

To enhance the Mediterranean makeover the elegant 350-room Ritz-Carlton hotel was built. The hotel includes a waterside walkway featuring boutiques, restaurants, outdoor cafes and two floors of guestrooms.
