| - OK, so check this out. I know I have been long dormant with the Yelp reviews (bad girl, BAD GIRL!), so to make it up to ya'll, I am now embarking on a casino-by-casino tour of my new hometown of LV, NV, and will include reviews of each as I tour them. Now, these will not include room stays, but just schlepping around the premises - eating, drinking, and checking out anything that moves or doesn't move. Got it? OK, let's proceed...
Review #14:
a solid middle-range casino on a prime piece of real estate; wedged between Aria/City Center and the currently-in-building-process Las Vegas Arena and The Park areas; they have really upgraded this place, so while not all that big, it is a worthy spot, especially for mid-scale dining options; many of these are on the now-completed Strip-front walkway area; I challenge you to find a better deal for Strip-front dining than the inexpensive & super-tasty 800 Degrees (Neapolitan pizza); there is a small, but nice, shopping corridor with the best feature being The Pub (read on); best craft beer bet = by far, it's The Pub, which has a genuinely excellent beer list both on tap & in bottles; nice big space too, although I could do without the horrid dueling pianos bad-80's music when I was there; overall, the Monte Carlo rates at 3.5 stars, but I will bump them up due to The Pub and the Strip-front dining spots (BTW, the corridor walkway from the casino to Diablo's Cantina is pretty cool).
