| - I have stayed in a few hotels in Vegas now and I have to say that this one is so far my least favorite.
From the moment I entered the hotel to the moment I left, the staff was needlessly formal and kind of full of themselves. Which would be somewhat ok if the service and the quality of the hotel reflected appropriately, but it didn't. The room was superficially clean. That means that at first glace, it's nice enough, but if you dig a bit deeper, it's not that nice. For example, there was a long black hair stuck to the shower wall (which definitely wasn't mine or my boy's as we both have short hair) and then I even pulled a long blonde hair out of a "clean" towel.
The walls are thin. All night I could hear a family in a room to one side of us and what sounded like 10 teenagers in the room to the other side.
The pillows on the bed drove me crazy. They were all so big that it felt like I had two pillows under my head when it was only one. I ended up loosing all pillows and sleeping without one. Fun times.
I know a resort fee is kind of the norm in Vegas, but that doesn't make them any less stupid. They cover things that most people aren't going to use, like the gym, and daily newspapers. Oh, and internet. And when they say "internet," they mean a 1ft ethernet cable. That's right. A cable.
The pool area is nice. They have a wave pool and a lazy river but you have to buy the inner tubes! Seriously?
At check out, the express checkout (via the TV) was "unavailable."
Basically, for the price, you can get a way better hotel. Don't bother with the Monte Carlo. I know I won't in the future.
