Casino MonteLago
Casino MonteLago at Lake Las Vegas closed Tuesday for the second time in three and a half years because of lease issues with owners.
The Kam Sung Company, the casino’s landlord, is looking for other companies to run the resort, although an executive said officials are open to continuing a relationship with current operator Intrepid Gaming. Kam Sung said its tenant has not upheld “contractual obligations” but did not specify.
The casino opened in May 2003 and closed in March 2010 before reopening in May 2011.
