This was our second Vegas hotel, our first night was at the Bellagio which will forever be burned into my memory as one of by best hotel stays.
With that said the Monte Carlo is a standard hotel IMO. One gripe is that we paid for an upgrade to have a room with a view and there was no view. Hey Monte Carlo - a high floor facing away from the strip is not considered a view just so we're clear!
This hotel is out of date withe electronics in a massive way. You have a hard line Internet line that doesn't work (too loose for my lap top) and no wifi. The outlets were not close and were all used by other electronics so if I wanted to charge my cell I had to unplug something to plug in my cell, very inconvenient for the modern person.
The hairdryer is in a bag at the top of the closet like it's a game of "where's the hairdryer". Who wants to play that game with wet hair? Not me!
The beds are not the most comfortable in the world, I've had better. Check in and check out was a breeze. Overall a fine hotel experience although I think I would error on a higher quality hotel on the strip instead with more modern upgrades for those of us living in the 21st century.
