Closing of Hotel at Lake Las Vegas Raises Concerns

- Closing Down
The Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas has announced it is going out of business this week. Henderson Mayor Andy Hafen said he expects shops and restaurants at MonteLago Village Resort will feel the impact of losing the 349-room luxury hotel.
Businesses have told him in the past they are holding their own, but just getting by, he said. A number of shops refused to comment Tuesday about the Ritz-Carlton announcement and referred calls to MonteLago Village manager Maurice Talley.
Talley said he didn’t know how much of MonteLago Village Resort’s shop and restaurant traffic comes from the Ritz-Carlton. At least one shop owner, however, said she doesn’t expect the closure of the hotel to have a major impact on her business. Marianne Freeman, whose home furnishing and accessories shop, Tesoro, has been at Montelago Village since 2003, said most of her customers are people who live at Lake Las Vegas, not hotel guests.
