Casino MonteLago Celebrates a Year Since Reopening

A year ago, Casino MonteLago reopened at Lake Las Vegas after shutting down because of the recession.

A lot has changed in that year. More shops at the Village at Lake Las Vegas are opening and real estate values are up 14 percent. The resorts on the lake, including The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, Hotel Ravella and Casino MonteLago, are working together to keep people visiting.

“The cooperation between the village, the casino and the hotels is at an all time high. Where as before when everything was high times everyone could sequester themselves into their own little world. Now, we all recognize we all have to pull together,” CEO of Casino MonteLago Jon Berkley said. 

Weekends brings in more traffic. Free concerts on Fridays and Saturdays means more people walking through the casino and playing. Plus, more foot traffic in the village with people shopping.
