This hotel was what we needed it to be, a clean room and comfy bed and it helped that there were some great dining and entertainment choices downstairs.
We stayed during the week and came for a conference so we avoided the high weekend prices. I would definitely suggest coming during the week if you can, it's always packed but you can save some money and still have a really entertaining time.
This was our first time in Vegas so I'm sure if you browse around you can find some great deals in some great rooms, but as far as I'm concerned the Monte Carlo was great.
