Monte Carlo is looking tired these days...we were here for a family event....I personally found the hotel "deal" high. My friend who joined us last minute got much better prices that we did plus she got food and beverage credits. The $20 resort fee seems like a way to make the room seem to be cheaper but its a manditory fee so why even play that game? We were on a high floor and our room was nicer than those in our group who saved a few $$ by booking a lower floor. The beds were comfortable, but we did have problems with the shower draining and the sink backing up. They had to fix them twice.
The pool was nice & we were able to arrange for a private cabana with a private pool for a fair price for our group, of course $17.00 cokes pool side seems beyond steep to me.
The check in & check out process here is horrible...plan on waiting a long...long time and then don't plan on getting into your room right away " they are backed up & will call you when your room is ready" about an hour or two after you check in.
The casino has a nice morning gaming class for those who want to learn craps, & roulette. There late night dealers were lots of fun...one named Victoria was very helpful in teaching some of us how to lose our money slower..she was at the roulette table....from 11 p.m. lol As a result she made a higher percentage in tips from our group.
Monte Carlo staff helped us get tickets to the LOVE show for a better price than the "Half Price Tickets" store. No one had the tickets for 1/2 price but we did get them for 40% off. That show was the best part of our trip
