I stayed at the Monte Carlo while on a business trip in Vegas. It is a decent hotel, nothing fancy at all. The room is very average, but definitely not the worst hotel room I've been in. The pluses about this hotel was when I booked it I got a free $50 food and dining credit for about 5 of their restaurants in the hotel. I went to The Cafe for two nights and ordered two different sandwiches, both of which were actually really good. So it seems that their restaurants are pretty good. I also hit their gym facilities a few of the nights I stayed and the do have a good, full fitness center with a lot of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. They also have a full spa with saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, massages, etc. The casino is pretty decent as well and wasn't too smokey at all surprisingly. For $80 a night through the week, I guess this was a pretty decent deal.
