Monte Carlo was not a bad place, but not a true Vegas experience. It felt like any other resort hotel. What I did like was their pool area. So many options, but sadly they close it at 7pm. The casino was okay, not too busy. Food court was pricey, but if you are hungry check it out. But I felt you get more for your buck at the buffet just a few feet up the casino.
Our room was clean. No complaints for that. What I was disappointed in was they didn't have free internet! Living in the Bay Area I guess I am spoiled with all the free wi-fi areas. The hotel felt very child friendly, so good times if you have kids. Most of the staff were super friendly. Overall not a bad place.
