The Mediterranean-style Ritz is all about rest, playing outdoors, and wandering around the MonteLago Village retail center. Large rooms soothe with soft gold, honey, and cream tones and huge, cushy pillows and Frette linens atop feather beds. Plush slippers and robes are provided in the bathrooms. Club Level rooms and suites bump it up a notch with a location on the Pontevecchio, which spans Lake Las Vegas.

Noisy. Clock tower starts bonging at 7 am. That might not be so bad except, business travelers in ajoining rooms apparently get "wake up" calls at 6 am, and we heard 2 of the calls as well as banging doors in early am. Maybe weekends are quieter. Also, breakfast was to be included in our rate and it was an effort to get it taken off the bill when we checked out. There are better alternatives out there for a romantic weekend in Las Vegas.

We spent 4 nights here at the end of Oct 2006 before moving over to the Strip for 3 nights. We stayed at the Ritz so that we could take a 2-day golf school at Reflection Bay Golf Club from the Golf Academy (another positive experience). Very convenient for golfers with the shuttle buses to the golf clubs. The room was wonderful, and moderately priced (less than on the strip and you get so much more). Robes, lush towels changed twice daily, lovely view of the lake and mountains, nice bathroom, WSJ and USA Today delivered daily, free in-room internet. We had afternoon tea in the lobby daily and sat on the veranda enjoying the view. Enjoyed dinner and happy hours at Sunset and Vines (restaurant in the village) just a few steps out of the Ritz back door. Everyone at the Ritz was quite pleasant and helpful. We did not take the time to enjoy the spa, but plan to do so next year when we return for 4 nights again, plus more golf school. This may be an annual trip to the Ritz. Highly recommended (warning - after this experience, very little on the Strip measures up as there are no amenities in most rooms there, and internet in room is NOT free. Best to go to the strip first, then end the week with this luxury).
