| - To be honest, I thought my stay at the Monte Carlo was just ok. Don't get me wrong, it's an above average place to stay at, clean, semi-new, on strip, and decently priced--but my experience didn't thrill me or anything. Stayed here for four days, three nights and all during that time everything was ok. It's not a destination hotel like MGM, NYNY, Mandalay, Paris, or Planet Hollywood. It's a good place to stay if you not looking for a lot of action and a nice bed with a clean room.
The room was nicely furnished and it was a handicap room, but that really didn't bother us. What did bother us was that the first night we were there we had problems with water drainage in the shower/tub. Water just wasn't draining fast enough and the tub started filling up. Needless to say that was not good. It didn't bother us too much as the next day we called maintenance and by the time we came back from going out for the day they had fixed it.
Probably the bigger issue I had was that the lot they had for self parking was not big enough to accommodate everyone at the hotel. Apparently what had happened was that as part of the City Center construction which is happening right next door, they demolished their parking structure and are currently in the process of building a new one. In the meantime, they have an open air lot that is not big enough to hold everyone. So at night what happens is people are driving around hunting and waiting for parking to open up. You might say, "well why don't you valet the car, it's free." That is a good idea, too bad almost everyone else has it as well. One night after we had come back we go to valet the car and the line for the valet is packed, come to find out that the valet is full for the night and we have to park at NYNY, which is also right next door. Luckily as we were driving through the small lot to go over to the NYNY someone pulled out and we were able to park in the self park.
Other than that, the only other thing I disliked was the fact that there was no complimentary WIFI or internet at this place. Boo that.
