With a spontaneous trip to Vegas, we needed a CHEAP hotel on the strip. Looking online we saw Monte Carlo had a great deal for $171 for two night stay. With 4 girls, we couldn't turn down that price.
This is the first time staying at Monte Carlo and I have to say I wasn't really impressed by anything. They had few amentities in the hotel such as shops and places to eat. The rooms were not modern and beds were not that comfy at all. Also, BEWARE of the construction going on around this place. We were awoken every morning around 8 - 9 AM with banging noises. Pretty annoying since we didn't go to bed until 4 AM every night.
The plus side about this place was the awesome pool they had. They had a great DJ playing all day along with a river pool and wave pool. If It wasn't for the pool I probably would have given this place one star.
