| - As with all hotels on the strip, after they are open for 2 years -- they become boring. I really like this hotel since it's inexpensive (like back in 2008 when it caught fire, and called them to make reservations for a trade show in June ... $39 bucks baby!) Hey, so what if I take advantage of their misfortune?
But, from what I remember ... I *think* we are in the age of technology! I was up in Hotel 32 (the top floor of the Monte Carlo) and couldn't check in to any location INSIDE the hotel, let alone make a phone call. Come to find out they have all these iPhone apps, so I wonder if they have a deal with AT&T ... so guess what all you AT&T peeps, THIS is THE PLACE where you get CELL RECEPTION! So each time I had to make a phone call, or check in to any restaurant inside Monte Carlo, or the spa, I had to leave the building. I was baffled that I was practically on the roof of this building and STILL couldn't get any reception. Blah, this is the FIRST time in 16 years that I found a location Verizon isn't at. No wonder they still have land lines in all the rooms, huh?
The staff is always friendly, and I always get an early check in. The spa and the gym are nice, but this visit I was put off by the weird *aroma* they had piped throughout the casino. We all seemed to notice this, and each time I left the casino I was happy to take a deep breath of Vegas diesel air on The Strip.
