The last time I stayed here was during Comdex in 1999 or 2000. I would be happy to review the room, but I am confident it was renovated since that time. If not....ouch.
The casino is pretty old-school for how recently it was built. I have played here a few times over the years when I was looking for somewhere to play other than the nearby MGM Grand where I was staying. Nothing that memorable has happened here for me.
Lance Burton still has a show here. I have never seen him, and have often wondered who does.
Recently, a mexican restaurant called Diablos opened on the Strip in front of the Monte Carlo. I have not yet been there, but a local bartender friend of mine said the food was pretty good.
I never understood this property or who they are trying to capture as an audience. I usually walk right by, but maybe that will change after City Center opens up next door. Time will tell.
