| - Stayed the last weekend in August 2011. Chose the Monte Carlo for the rate, they have a Starbucks, the lazy river and location on the strip. We went for my daughters 21st birthday. Used the free valet when we arrived, bellman took our bags and we went to check-in right at 3:00 pm. I had requested 3 rooms together with 1 king and 2 double queens. No king beds were available (cleaned) at our check in time and the closest they could get our rooms was 320, 324 and 332 down a hallway. Bellman was very quick to bring our bags to our rooms and off we went. We were trying to get out to the strip and couldn't find any signage to lead us in the right direction. We made it eventually.
iHome in each room, nice TV, very comfortable beds.
Rooms were average but I'd say ours hadn't been vacuumed, no wi-fi but there is a wired connection, hair dryers are in a bag inside the closet (had to call housekeeping about this).
Casino only serves Pepsi (YUCK) but fortunately there is a McDonald's in the food court where I could get Diet Coke.
Food Court was small but covers all bases: Subway, Starbucks, Sbarro, Rubios and McDonald's (think I got those correct). Line at Starbucks is LONG but there's a second Starbucks if you head towards the tram that goes to the Bellagio.
The Buffet - kind of pricey and the food was average (pepsi only).
The Cafe - we had breakfast there and the food was good (pepsi only).
The Pub - we went in for dinner at 9:00 pm on Saturday night to hear the dueling pianos. We weren't very hungry and only ordered appetizers which were tasty. The place was not busy at all, the piano guys were asking for birthdays, anniversaries, etc so I wrote down it was my daughters 21st birthday with her name and put $3 or $4 dollars in the tip jar. They never mentioned her even though they were begging for suggestions, etc. I guess you need to hand the guy the money at the same time as the 'ticket' and if it's not enough money forget it they don't mention you.
The Pool - is a very cramped area. It was hard to find chairs but we walked around and saw a group leaving. The "lazy river" is very small, you have to rent the tubes, or walk around the river and the water was cold. We went in the bigger pool which was in the shade the whole time we were out there but was comfortable except for children running around. Never saw a waitress (11:30 am on a Saturday) so my sister went to the bar and it took 15-20 minutes to get a drink.
We'd go back for a good deal and due to the location, especially since the beds were comfortable.
