Very pleased with Monte Carlo. The staff (valet, concierge, bell desk, front desk) were all friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed and knew where we were going. For $75 we had a large strip view room with 2 double beds. No fridge or microwave, but I'm sure upon request they can deliver them to the room. The room was very clean upon arrival. Checkout was extremely easy and I was able to do so on my phone. I would have given them 5 stars, but to be fair, I only stayed one night and did not utilize housekeeping. I cannot rate on the service other than upon arrival. Free USA Today papers available at the elevator lobbies. Monte Carlo has a free tram that goes to the Bellagio. I was happy I see that as the water show and gardens at Bellagio are my favorite to see. I will be returning to Monte Carlo!
