Dynamite location on the strip. You can easily access MGM, Aria and the Cosmo by staying here. The price/value is top notch, however the rooms are in need of a major upgrade. Everything in the bedrooms is so outdated! The bed was immensely comfortable though. If you can get a room here for under $100 I'd say it's worth it, but at $140+ I would stay somewhere else. I say Cosmo is a 5 star place, MGM a 4 and Monte Carlo is a 3. The best part about this hotel/casino is the location and the pool. They do not have any late night restaurants except a pretty chintzy food court. The pool area is actually pretty good - not nearly as good as MGM, but pretty dang good for a hotel pool (and there are 3 of them - a regular pool, a wave pool and a lazy river).
