This little oasis is just 10 minutes from Henderson. 2 golf courses amid the lakes and at the center is the Montelago Casino & Resort, The Ritz-Carlton and the Montelago Village.\n\nIt's really an outdoor mall of specialty shops and fine dining on the edge of the lake attached to the Resort & Casino.\n\n It has such a quaint village feel with its cobble stone walks and architecture.\n\nI've been out here twice for special events. 1st an Easter Egg hunt for the kids and most recently the 1st annual chili cook-off.\n\nThere's always a nice crowd but it is managed well because there is never a long line or anything.\n\nI would agree it is overpriced but it is the Ritz and the Village. It's a nice day trip to get away from the Jungle.\n\nI have posted more pics here http://offthestripdining.blogspot.com/2009/01/llv-chili-cook-off.html
