| - Oh man... my second time in Vegas and it's going to be one that I will never forget for too many negative reasons.
First off, we got to the hotel and checked in. Surprisingly really busy... tons of people seemed to be checking in at 9pm.
Here comes *strike 1*: we ask the lady at the front desk what the wifi password was. She proceeds to ask us "what password? our wifi is open", so naturally, I went "YES! free wifi in the rooms", when she proceeded to say "oh, no. We don't have wifi in the rooms. We only have wifi in the main lobby here and in the food court". Wiped the smile off my face. Right away. Just a little back story, I wanted to travel light so I traveled with my tablet and I was doing a lot of the social media work remotely. Couldn't really do that now because the internet in the room was only connectable via ETHERNET CABLES! Seriously bro? Ethernet cables? I think the Monte Carlo missed the coming of the digital age because event the Super 8 motel has wireless wifi. LAME SAUCE
Anywhooos, we got our keys and went up to the room. It was your standard room with 2 queen beds, a tv, bathroom- the usual. The beds were very comfy. Bathroom? Meh. It was your average bathroom... nothing that really surprised me. The shower heads were surprisingly VERY powerful, which made me happy.
Here comes *strike 2*: went down to use the wifi in the main lobby just to make a quick FaceTime call via. I was under the impression that the wifi was going to work because I was told that it only worked in the main lobby and the food court. WRONG. can't even get a decent connection in the main lobby.
and for *strike 3*: room service takes an awfully long time for low periods during the day. I would call for blankets and pillows at 10pm, when I anticipate that not many people would be calling for these items at that hour of the day, but apparently room service's phone was ringing off the hook because I wouldn't get the items until 45 minutes after I called for them! I also had to remind them that I called... and then they'd finally come.
I would not stay here again. The location is great, but for the price you pay- so not worth it. A resort fee for internet? There was no internet in my room.
/end rant.
