How was your stay at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas?|107427

Give me some tips and interesting things that can be found through a visitor_s view. I already know everything on the website. Thanks!

I stayed at the Monte Carlo for a few days with my cousins. I didn_t like it that much, nothing fancy to me unless you get a really really great room. We had either the back or front view, I think it was the back view. Some rooms have a bad view, ours had a construction site and parking lot. We could see about 2/10 part of the New York New York hotel and the roller coaster. The pool sucks because there_s a hotel building covering half of the sunlight for the lazy river and wave pool. The lazy river was O.K. but it was too short and it didn_t felt like a river. Thier pool was very dirty and there were leaves and plant stems and some cigerettes floating, kind of disgusting. There_s one heated pool where most adults stay and is usually crowded and the sun is shining on it. I think the pool stays up to 7pm.
Probably the only thing I liked in the Monte carlo was that the food court was close and I got to walk around the strip, it_s close to M _ M world/gameworks/coca cola.
My stay at monte carlo was okay, nothing spectacular like other great hotels in las vegas. This hotel isnt for me cause I have asthma and this hotel has alot of people smoking indoors and such.

People are being a bit harsh about the Monte Carlo. It is a pretty nice hotel and I like it. It is not loaded with attractions and it is not enormous in size but to me that is a definite advantage. Those huge everything under one roof hotels may be fine for some but to me places like the MGM or Caesars are so big, the walk from the lobby to your room is exhausting.

However, I cannot recommend the Monte Carlo or New York New York until 2010. There is a massive and I mean massive construction project called City Center underway that runs from the Monte Carlo to the Bellagio.

In fact, there is a inordinate amount of construction going on all over Las Vegas. The Wynn is adding as second tower called Encore, there are several condo projects and the Mirage is refurbishing the Volcano out front so that is a mess, too. If this is your first time to Las Vegas you will not be seeing it at its best.

The Monte Carlo is the worst Las Vegas hotel built in the last 20 years. Other than Lance Burtons show, it has nothing to offer! There_s nothing to see or do in it. I went to the Monte Carlo the other day just do remind myself how much I hate it.

The pool is practically unusable right now. They_re building a big hotel 150 feet from the pool and there_s staging _ construction traffic 10 feet from the pool! It_s no place to relax and pretty dirty.

Sorry if that_s not what you were wanting..

My stay was almost exactly like the person above. It wasn_t the best hotel I have ever stayed at but, it does save money. I don_t like the pool because there is construction going on about 100 feet from the pools. So, that got annoying. You can get a few good views if you stay in the rooms facing the strip. So all in all it was just ok.

Oh wow, don_t stay there ever again. It_s my second least favorite hotel to stay at (next to the Stratosphere). The only good thing about it was that it was in front of the MGM
