The Monte Carlo is actually a pretty nice hotel. We got a great deal on Priceline.com (name your own). However, they were doing construction on the parking structure, so the entrance was crazy and unorganized. There was a small lot for parking. I suggest going for the free valet. Our room had an amazing view and the gentleman that checked us in was a sweetheart. The buffet did not look good at all. We'd stay here again, but will definitely wait for the construction to be done.
