I'm going to have to agree with the masses about the Monte Carlo. It's nice but doesn't have as much character as some of the other casinos on the strip. The Bellagio, Venetian & the Wynn just to name a few, are all beautiful and have more to offer than the Monte Carlo. I got a room complimentary here for the last 2 days of my trip and I have to say it's nicer than the Imperial Palace. Which casino isn't though?
I checked in, dropped my bags off and chilled at the pool area. They had a lazy river and a wave pool which I took advantage of which was nice. After the pool, I did a little poker at the poker room for a couple of hours before I met up with my group for dinner and drinks!
Another average hotel on the strip. Maybe a little nicer than average.
