"Meeehhhh.....\n\nThe location is good not great (it's a little too far down south of the strip for my taste). \nThe casino and hotel room were nice but drifted more towards simple and sedate. \nI guess when I'm in Vegas I want my hotel to have more of a theme and then go balls to the wall to make it happen. Be gaudy, be extravagant be grandiose and bizarre , but have a personality. \nThe Monte Carlo is adequately modern, clean and geographically sound, overall a \"safe bet\" by Vegas hotel standards. But who wants to play it safe in Vegas?"^^ . "3"^^ .
