Monte Carlo advertises itself as being an "Unpretentiously Luxurious" hotel but my experience was quite the opposite.
AFTER spending a lot of money on dinner at one of their restaurants and seeing the Blue Man Group (underwhelming) I went to gamble a bit.
The casino chair that I sat in was one of those big, cushioned, bolted-to-the-ground chairs. As I sat I immediately felt the unmistakable sog of a soaking wet chair. It sloshed up under me and everything I had on was immediately soaked. A second later I realized - IT WAS PEE. The smell... the burn...It was definitely PEE. When I got up and looked at the chair, the wet spot was in the shape of a seated butt and legs.
Long story short; I told 1 lady (that I thought worked there) that there was pee in the chair and her response was "I know".
I went to the concierge desk to tell them that the chair was full of pee. The man i talked to apologized and went about talking to someone else to go fix it.
I had to throw away my underwear and am still undecided on what to do about the skirt (who wants to wear a white skirt with THAT memory).
I also got a huge rash on my butt that lasted for a week.
I had sent an angry e-mail to the MC detailing my above experience, mainly because I only had that outfit that night which was cut short as a result of the situation. I had become mad about it. I got a call where I was told that they would research my complaint and get back to me with-in 10 days.
Its been over a month and they have not gotten back to me!
The difference between a good business and a bad business is all in how they handle themselves. Even in the face of mistakes beyond their control.
Even if all they did was formally apologize and close the loop of communication, I would have been fine.
So now I, my friends and my family view the MC as "Unpretentiously Crumby" and just another depleting Vegas organization.
