Indian tribe openscasino in Nevada
Las Vegas' newest casino, MonteLago, opened May 8. MonteLago is the second casino in the fast-growing Lake Las Vegas subdivision, 25 miles from the Strip on the way to Lake Mead, reports Lasvegasadvisor.com. Casino MonteLago is attached to a 350-room Ritz-Carlton, which opened separately in February. The casino is smallish at 40,000 square feet but much larger than the area's other casino at the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas. Casino MonteLago is one of only two casinos in Nevada owned by American Indian tribes. It borders the Village at MonteLago, a separate complex of high-end retail shops and condominiums.
