I always enjoy staying at the Monte Carlo. The rooms are always clean, and available at a very good price. In the summer their pool is one of the best in Las Vegas. They have a lazy river and a wave pool. Their pool is also not as crowded as Mandalay Bay's pool is. "The Pub" is a great place to go for happy hour and for the beer connoisseur to try new brews. The "Hit Lounge" is an awesome place to go for classy drinks. "Diablos Cantina" has a great view of the strip and a good place for margaritas. I've also had some luck gambling at the Monte Carlo. The machines don't seem to ever be too tight.
