| - I didn't love but I didn't hate this hotel. My recent stay here was my first and I truly wouldn't mind staying here again. The husband and I booked this hotel at a great price due to the fact that they are having some construction outside. We were helped by a friendly desk person who was also helpful and answered all our questions (mLife rewards, redeeming myVegas rewards, pubs/lounges/bars near by and even restaurant ). We were given our room key and helped within less than a few minutes. The lobby had a pretty Christmas tree already set up, a bar and a few benches to sit at. Our room was in the 17th floor with the view of a a few of the hotels on the strip. The room is indeed in HIGH need of a remodel. The tv is very outdated, there is a few pieces of the wall paper coming out, the tub was cracked, the lighting is sooo bad and the colors are pretty dull. The room itself isn't very welcoming but for the price we paid, we didn't mind. We didn't have any noise complaints, the bed was ok in comfort and the water in the shower was hot and steamy. I did not like though that the reception in our room was terrible! I later found out that there is only wifi in the first two floors, boooo!!! Better reception would make this place a lot better. I was also sad that the ice machine in our floor was broken, therefore we had to go one floor up to get ice..
I loved the location of this hotel and casino! It is so close to the tram and near the middle of the strip. Being that it was a rainy weekend, I had no trouble getting from Monte Carlo, Aria, Vdara and even the Cosmopolitan without getting too wet just by taking the tram and walking through the casinos. Excalibur and Luxor are across the street and Monte Carlo is walking distance from Coca Cola Factory and M and M World... very very convenient in my opinion.
Monte Carlo has a decent size gambling casino downstairs with plenty of roulette tables, poker tables and slot machines to test your luck in. They have a Starbucks as well, The Brand Steakhouse, a Buffet and The Pub. If you want to catch a show, Monte Carlo currently has the Blue Man group.
