Press Release: Intrawest Corporation
November 19, 2004
LAKE LAS VEGAS, NV -- Intrawest Corporation (NYSE:IDR; TSX:ITW) continued its real estate momentum at Lake Las
Vegas Resort on November 13, when all 85 resort condominiums offered in the second release of Luna di Lusso at
MonteLago Village were sold in less than three hours.
The studio, one- and two-bedroom lakeside properties were priced from $300,000 to more than $1.1 million. The sellout
follows the same results from the first release in July where the first 85 resort condominiums in Luna di Lusso
sold out.
Intrawest anticipates steady demand at Lake Las Vegas as travel to Southern Nevada continues to rise. This past
September was the busiest ever at McCarran International Airport and the eighth consecutive month of double-digit
increases(a).
"We have MonteLago Village buyers coming from as close as Southern California and as far away as the east
coast," said Douglas Ogilvy, Intrawest Regional Vice President. "That's a testament to Lake Las Vegas
Resort's uniqueness as a destination and the popularity of the type of vacation real estate that Intrawest offers."
Each resort condominium is fully furnished and comes with many optional services available to owners including
the opportunity to place the homes in a rental arrangement. Construction is already underway, with initial occupancy
for this second release anticipated for early 2006.
Lake Las Vegas Resort is built around a 320-acre lake and surrounded by desert mountains. The 3,592-acre resort
is just 17 miles from the Las Vegas Strip and features a Mediterranean theme throughout. It is master planned to
offer residential housing, world-class resort hotels, casinos, shopping, spas and up to six signature golf courses
by noted designers such as Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.
