Customer Reviews for Monte Carlo Resort and Casino
Loved it! - posted on 11/16/2005
Just returned from our 1st trip to Las Vegas and our hotel was the best part! Very clean, easy check-in and out. Extremely quiet. Nice casino. Many dining choices. Wish the pool had been open since the weather was still very nice! Wish the trips/tours desk personnal were more-informed, but still a great experience.
Great Hotel - posted on 11/25/2005
Hotel was really nice for the price. Rooms were large and nicely decorated. Pool area was beautiful.
The pool was an adventure - posted on 08/23/2006
The hotel was delightful. We were booked incorrectly on entering. However, accomodations were adequate, clean and resort had a great pool for kids and adult pool and wave pool and tropical grounds. We would stay again.
Perfect - posted on 10/05/2005
This was our first time to Vegas and I would say this hotel was perfect. Most the reviews about the MC were correct. Very nice hotel, good location with tram to the Bellagio. Tram system was a great way to get around. Very nice resaurants, brewery and food court. Pool area was very nice. There is also a CVS drug store right next door. The size of the hotel made it easy to get around, not huge like so many of the others. Its true that you never notice any smoke in the casino. We never had any problem with noise. Great hotel at a great price.
Monte Carlo - posted on 10/03/2005
Hotel was very clean and well managed. Rooms were very nice and comfortable. The hotel had a very broad selection of services and entertainment, and the location was very central. Would definitely recommend to others.
Best Deal on the Strip - posted on 06/04/2007
Best deal on the Las Vegas Strip. The pool is good but the view with all the construction around is a turn off. However, is a great hotel with comfortable beds and rooms for the price. I would go back.
Verrry Niiiice!! - posted on 05/31/2007
Stayed there from the 22-25 May 2007. I had a blast!! Casino Exec was very accomadating in taking care of us. Rooms were clean, (new carpet needed though). Construction was ongoing but did not interfere with sleep. Food was very good in the cafe restaraunt, the breakfast buffet was great too. I will be going back no problem!! Cleaned up gambling too!
Monte Carlo is #1! - posted on 05/26/2007
I was worried about staying here because of the reviews posted. We had an EXCELLENT experience!! Do not base any decision on poor reviews! We were offered a better view of the strip, had excellent service, and stayed next to construction the first night & did not experience any loud noises! I will definitely stay here again!! Great value for your money!
Family suited hotel - posted on 05/19/2007
The Monte Carlo suited our needs. The hotel is much more relaxed and compact compared to others. It worked very well for the young family.
Pool was Great - posted on 05/18/2007
We loved the pool area. We spent a lot of time there. The rooms are quite old and the walls thin. Both sets of friends we went with had bad experiences when their maids entered the rooms without permission. For the price we would rather stay at a newer/nicer resort.
Monte Carlo is Great! - posted on 05/18/2007
The hotel was very clean (compared to other hotels on the strip) and our stay was very peaceful. The staff was also very nice.
Nice hotel - posted on 05/17/2007
After reading the reviews on the Monte Carlo, I was really worried about staying there. BUT we had a perfectly fine, clean, nice room and time at the Monte Carlo. Our A/C did go out but we called and within a couple of hours maintenience had fixed it. For the price, it was a good place to stay.
Needs some work - posted on 05/11/2007
I was disappointed with the Monte Carlo this visit. Last visit was in 8/2000 You would think that some updates would have been done in 7 yrs. Our bedding was dirty, and old, very stingy on their toiletries, and towels. The pool was over crowded and could not walk about easily, once seated in your lounge chair. The lazy river was down for 2 days of our stay, lots of construction going on which is viewable and noisy while at the pool area. Definitely not a 4 or 5 star. Bordering on "fair"
Monte Carlo was great - posted on 05/07/2007
The hotel location was perfect - next to Bellagio and NYNY, and across from MGM. Hotel staff was efficient and friendly, the rooms were really nice, we had a fantastic view of the Strip from our 22nd floor room. The hotel casino was really nice and had a good selection of slots. It wasn't super crowded either - mostly hotel guest traffic. The pool area was nice and the wave pool was fun. The tubing river was closed while we were there and planned to open the day after we left - oh well. Next time..... Other than that little disappointment - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Monte Carlo.
MONTE CARLO HOTEL - LAS VEGAS - posted on 05/05/2007
Monte Carlo had torn bed sheets and covers. Lazy River Pool was closed, casino had contruction, all around property was construction and noisy (starting at 6:00 am). As for hotel, not a good trip at all. Issues should have been discounted. Would not stay there again.
Enjoyable stay - posted on 05/04/2007
Stayed on south side of hotel: construction noise was no problem. Great service. Great room. Clean. Plenty of hot water. Thick towels. Everything worked. It's not an adventure trying to figure out how to go from casino to room -- elevators are all in one place near the front desk. Ample sign-age to follow. Pool was nice. I'll be back!
Very Nice Place - posted on 05/03/2007
This was our 3rd trip back to Vegas. We try to stay at a different place every time, but I we are planning to go back to Monte in October. The staff was very personable and we felt right at home. The buffet was good and the location is right next to New York New York and many other places. Yes, there was construction when we went, but who needs sleep. You're in Vegas!
Las Vegas First Timer - posted on 05/01/2007
I was excited to attend a conference in Las Vegas. The hotel was nice but under construction. The work went to all hours. It was very hard to get around. Everything was so huge that walking was challenging. No cabs when we needed them!
great location - posted on 04/25/2007
everything about the hotel was great, great food, great service. only complaint was the construction next to hotel, work started early but if you kept the windows closed wasn't much of a bother
nice place to stay - posted on 04/19/2007
Nice room with plenty of space. Access to the parking lot somewhat tricky because of construction near-by. Service in the restaurants almost nil- they seated us and almost never came back to check on us.
1st time in vegas - posted on 04/17/2007
Monte Carlo was great. we did not experience any problems. They do however need more options for nightlife. If you want to go a club, you need to leave the hotel to go to another one.
Monte Carlo is the Place - posted on 04/16/2007
Our stay of the Monte Carlo was rewarding. The food is good (those blueberry pancakes & primerib at Blackstone) wonderful. The employees are very friendly always there to help if need arise. We have been to Las Vegas three times and I want stay any place other than Monte Carlo. Right on the strip and close to the other hotels that we only walk through, take me back to Monte Carlo to stay.
pleasent - posted on 04/16/2007
If you want to enjoy some relaxing days in Vegas stay at the MC, always can find place in restaurants and the fast food, ask for a room far from the noise of the construction and you will have a nice stay
Tight slots/too many kids - posted on 04/15/2007
We have stayed at the Monte Carlo several times. This time the slots were very tight. There were too many kids. We left our children at home to have some couple time. Check in and out were simple and hassle free.
Family oriented - posted on 04/14/2007
Very nice hotel. The best I have stayed in so far. Very family oriented. Cters to the ordinary family.
NOISY NOISY NOISY - posted on 04/13/2007
Hotel was clean and the staff was courtious. Rooms are not sound proof to the outside noise. Had a great view of the strip, but MY GOSH the construction and traffic noise is horrid. Stayed 3 nights and maybe got 6 hours of sleep.
Feedback - posted on 04/10/2007
Very nice resort - we loved the appearance and pool areas!
Monte Carlo - posted on 04/09/2007
Clean and friendly. We were booked away from the construction by request and it was quiet. Casino was not mobbed, which made it more enjoyable. Comfortable rooms. I would definitely go back. The only thing I didn't like was the very long check in process. There needs to be a way to speed that up in most hotels.
construction site - posted on 04/09/2007
I visited the monte carlo in 2/06 and I said I would never stay anywhere eles in Vegas. I returned this year 3/31/07 and the view from was room was a construction site, the casino was dead and you could not get a drink. There was no one in there to take drink orders. The shuttle bus dropped us off in a real dusty area. The website informed you of the construction, but I did not realize how extreme.
Not Here! - posted on 04/09/2007
No place to park (had to park in New York NewYork and walk), no amenities in the room (go down to Starbucks for coffee), pay a premium price for internet that functions poorly, poor service.
unsatisfied/LETDOWN - posted on 04/08/2007
NO ASH TRAYS, NO COFFEE MAKERS, NO TRASH CANS, SOILED AND DIRTY LINENS.
Monte Carlo - posted on 04/06/2007
I stayed at the Monte Carlo for spring break. The buffet is great and the wave pool is awesome. 1 tip is that there is construction. STAY CLEAR OF IT!
Location Hard to Beat - posted on 04/05/2007
The BEST thing about the Monte Carlo is the location--just on the south end of Center Strip, so getting around was very easy. The staff was also excellent--we were there for our wedding, and every time we needed something, the staff was happy to help (even while we checked in with a very large group also in the lobby). The walls between rooms are very thin, and we heard our neighbor's phone ringing many times very early our first morning. Yes, there is construction, but it didn't bother us much, nor our friends whose room overlooked it (along with the pool).
a little loud - posted on 04/04/2007
Rooms were nicely decorated and furnished. However, plumbing from other rooms very loud. Noise from construction adjacent to hotel doesn't allow you to sleep in. Needs another lower-range meal option besides fast food.
Great Stay - posted on 04/02/2007
great location, nice clean and quiet rooms and good food even in the 24 hour cafe
Vegas Traveler Hits Jackpot with Hotel - posted on 03/30/2007
We were in Vegas to attend two DMB shows at the MGM Grand. The location of the Monte Carlo couldn't have been more perfect. It was at the hub of the strip. They had pleasant service, a big casino, buffets, restaurants, pubs, etc. The pool was nice, but a little crowded. Get there by 9 to get a lounge chair in the sun! Nice poolside bar. Powerful showers and nice bathrooms. Good size guest rooms that were cozy. Pricey room service--we didn't indulge. Some construction, but not a nuissance. Overall a beautiful hotel and great experience!
DIRTY! - posted on 03/29/2007
At first I was very excited to stay at the Monte Carlo but honestly paying $* for one night I was expecting a lot more then I received. After an hour or so when I became thirsty I used a glass provided by the room only to find a HAIR IN MY GLASS! It is obvious to say I am NEVER staying there again and I suggest everyone else do the same.
Contruction Noise - posted on 03/28/2007
On one side of the hotel rooms where the contruction is now taken place. The noise will begin at 5:10am!!!!!!
Vegas - posted on 03/24/2007
The Monte Carlo was Awesome, the people were very friendly.
GREAT HOTEL! - posted on 03/22/2007
Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas was in a great location on the strip-easy access to other places. A very clean casino/dining area, friendly staff.
A Great Stay - posted on 03/21/2007
Excellent location and access to the rest of the strip. The casino has a great poker room.
Best Beds Ever - posted on 03/20/2007
I never slept in a bed so comfortable. The pillows, matress, and covers was so cozy. Once you sleep in there beds, it's hard to think about another bed. I can't wait to go back to sleep there.
excellant - posted on 03/19/2007
the hotel was excellant, clean and the staff courteous.
Awesome location! - posted on 03/16/2007
checked in two hours early, great location, and nice rooms! Would stay there again!
No nice stay - posted on 03/13/2007
Everything was just NO good, swimming pool was closed, the service of the staff was terrible, the room was small and it was so noisy because of the work outside. Did not have a pleasant stay!
hotel - posted on 03/10/2007
Rooms were not equal to the prices, especially weekends. Counter space in bathrooms was inadequate. Restaurant prices were outrageous. Slots were especially tight. View from room compared to price was dismal. Only two glasses in room. If you had a guest you had to wash dishes. No towel rack @ vanity for handtowels. Won't stay there next time.
Face lift needed - posted on 03/10/2007
We have stayed at the Monte Carlo many times but this was the first time we experienced poor conditions in the room:cracked window, bathroom fixtures in disrepair, sheets and bedspreads with holes in them, worn towels and bathrooms in need of attention. The location, variety of restaurants and friendly staff are on the plus side.
Great experiance! - posted on 03/09/2007
The hotel loction on the strip is prefect. It was easy to find transportation and find places to go.
Great location - posted on 03/08/2007
Location was perfect! Airport, food, entertainment, all right out the door. Services a bit expensive, though. Rooms are nice.
very disapointed - posted on 03/06/2007
No swimming pool, dusty and noisy, no service from the staff, small room, no comfort.
Monte Carlo - posted on 03/03/2007
Very nice hotel, smaller and a bit quieter. Beautiful spa, you should check it out. Great spa/massage prices compared to others. Great staff.
NBA Allstar 07 - posted on 02/28/2007
I had a room with a wonderful view of the strip. House keeping kept my room cleaned and filled with towles. Just one glitch- my bedspread had long strands of hair and dried blood stains on it could have been a small oversight BUT little things mean a lot
Construction noise a bit much - posted on 02/27/2007
I was in Vegas for my Dad's wedding at the Monte Carlo. The wedding chapel is very nice, wedding was great. However, they have major construction going all around the Monte Carlo. One night the construction crews worked 24 hours straight which made sleeping impossible. If you book at the Monte Carlo any time soon request a room as far away from the construction as possible.
3rd World in Vegas - posted on 02/25/2007
I have stayed in better hotels in 3rd world countries. Dirty floors in rooms, equipment not working, poor security, noisy inside and out.
Disappointed - posted on 02/17/2007
Disappointed. Pool was being worked on and when we checked out they told us we could use another pool at another hotel. upon check IN they should have told us.. was not impressed with hotel.
tired - posted on 02/14/2007
hotel has not made many improvements over the last 4 years if any. Rooms looked tired. Furniture was dirty and damaged, bedspreads were dirty, vinyl coming off bathroom walls. caulk in very poor condition at tub and stool.
COME BACK AGAIN - posted on 02/12/2007
My wife and i were very pleased here and a great bang for your buck. Did not have the hassle of the big casinos, yet this was very elegant. You were always able to find a table or get in the poker room. The rooms were nice and so was the pool area. Hope to return soon.
Stinky Towels - posted on 02/11/2007
The hotel was just as nice as you would expect for the price of the room. Gambling was ok and people were very friendly. My only complaint was the towels in my room smelled horrible...like the bottom of an ashtray. Yuck!
not happy - posted on 02/10/2007
bathroom had mildew, toilet seat was broken, sink was clogged, tub was clogged and showerhead was filthy
Construction was rough - posted on 02/06/2007
Rooms are nice and everything is very clean. Staff was hit or miss. Tough time getting cocktails the whole weekend while gambling. Worst part was the construction next door. Being from Chicago I figured I could put up with a little noise, but wow, this was loud. Made it very hard to sleep.
Be SURE to request a QUIET room - posted on 02/02/2007
There is a lot of construction near the hotel and on the grounds. They go to work at 6 a.m. Be sure to request a room AWAY from the construction site. We were not informed, and had a terrible awakening.
Really the best value in Vegas! - posted on 01/29/2007
Monte Carlo is incredible! For the value you can't get much better. Rooms were huge and comfortable. AC great (110 degrees in August!) Staff was friendly and helpful - close to all the sights on the strip. Pool was fun - drinks expensive and lots of kids! But tolerable. The casino was great too! A really good bargain for Vegas!! Summertime - see the sights at night. Less people and much cooler! Stay by the pool!! SUNSCREEN!!!
Thin Walls - posted on 01/26/2007
The walls are thin at the Monte Carlo. Construction noise woke us up every morning at 4:30 am. Constant sound of back up beepers. The hotel moved us to a differnt part of the hotel and you could still hear the back up beepers. We will not stay here again. You could hear the people next door zipping up their suitcases in the morning to leave. Super thin walls. Dont stay here if you like to sleep on your trip!
Needs Improvement: Walls
Stay for the fun, Leave for the Bathroom - posted on 01/26/2007
Okay. That's what I would call this hotel. I did love the casino, restaurants, lounge areas but one thing I look forward to during my stay is a nice bathroom. All the newer, higher end resort casinos have nice spa tubs, seperate showers. I like to party, play, dine and then unwind at the end of the day. Step it up on the improvements.
Beautiful Casino - posted on 01/25/2007
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The pool is wonderful. The chapel is beautiful.Pub has great food!
In vegas Jan07 - posted on 01/23/2007
Love This Hotel. It has everything you want to see from casinos, restaurant, spas, entertainment, gym, and great coctail lounges. I do have to warn you that they are under construction by the pool area and surrounding areas are building. It was very noisey. You might want to check when the construction should be over. If you want to stay their. choose your rooms facing the strip and a High room. Must eat at Andres. I
Noisey construction - posted on 01/18/2007
Hotel was very nice and spacious but the the construction noise from the massive construction going on right next door. Motorized equipment noise starts around 5 a.m.
Good Location, Average Hotel - posted on 01/18/2007
Fine hotel if you aren't planning on spending a lot of time there. The rooms were a little "used" feeling, and the the casino was nothing special. Service was very good. Great Location.
Monte Carlo - posted on 01/17/2007
We were only at the hotel a few hours, but the rooms were nice and the chicken soup was excellent. However, our room was right above a construction site, so we had a restless nights sleep and were up very early.
elegant hotel - posted on 01/08/2007
Even though the hotel was under construction and the pool was not in service; we had a great stay. It would had been a 100% except for clogged tub drain
could be better - posted on 01/05/2007
Montecarlo, lacked ambience, the casino was` not happening like other hotel/casinos. Restaurants were below par.
Dude, Where's My Car? - posted on 01/05/2007
Great location on the strip and if ur lucky, great deals on room rates. PARKING is a nightmare. Not enough spaces on their self park (surface lot for probably 300 cars) or valet park services. We had to park at adjacent NY NY casino and haul our luggage to the lobby. Valet, when available, takes 30 min to an hour. If you will stay here, get a cab!!!
Great Stay - posted on 01/04/2007
We had a great experience. We were warned about the construction by the hotel, so we just booked a room on an upper floor and had no problems. They warned us the pool wasn't available because of construction, but we don't use the pool anyway. The cafe, buffet, staff, room, and casino were all very nice. The price was good, and we had a great location on the strip. We would definately stay here again.
Good experience X 2 - posted on 01/03/2007
This was our second visit to Vegas and our second stay at the MC. They were not very accomodating with it being our first vacation from our new triplets. Rooms are nice and were clean. Casino is laid back and low pressure. Great location on the Strip. We will definitely return. If you want the Ritz stay at the Ritz. The MC is just a nice affordable hotel. The staff was very friendly! Pool not great, but we didn't come for the pool!
Never Ever Again - posted on 01/03/2007
Requested Smoking Room with reservation and again at check in, assumed I was in a smoking room until the 3rd day of visit when 2 security men knocked on door waking me from a nap and told us we were in a non smoking room. I called the front desk to straighten out the problem and asked them to send someone up with a key and to help me move. They informed me they were too busy I would have to come down. I barely got an apology when I did go down and complain. We won't be back.
Great for a family - posted on 01/02/2007
My husband and I visit Vegas each year and this time took our 2 teenage boys. This place was ideal for them w/the pool but not for couples. Too many kiddies all over the place! Also needs better dinner restaurant choices!
Too bad about the parking - posted on 12/31/2006
The hotel is lovely and in a good location on the strip. The parking situation is however, ridiculous. There is no garage for this hotel and there is construction all around. We actually had to park in the garage that belonged to the hotel next door and walk the long trek back to the hotel.
great time at monte carlo - posted on 12/26/2006
My wife and I just returned from a five day stay at the monte carlo and we will stay here again when we return to vegas next time. The location is great. There is alot of construction around the hotel but there is constrution all over Vegas. We stayed in a room on the 29th floor and never heard any of the construction. We have stayed at the Paris and NY NY in the past and found the Monte Carlo to be just as nice without all the hussle and bussle of the bigger hotels. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will always stay at the Monte Carlo while visiting VEGAS!!!!!
Hard to find a quiet room - posted on 12/24/2006
We requested several (>3 times) room changes because of the loud neighbor (there is a connecting door btwn our rm and the next unit), the construction site (noisy jack hammer and truck beeper at 5:30am). We only slept in a quite room for the last two nights. The buffet did not provide service for two days. Some internal construction may cause that. After toured different hotels on the strip, I would say go with New York New York, Luxor with similar budget. There are more fun and food variety in those resorts.
Totally Happy - posted on 12/24/2006
This was without a doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed at. I will definately stay here again and reccomend it highly.
unhappy client - posted on 12/22/2006
My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary by staying a night at the Monte Carlo. There, the valet was rude and inattentive. We waited an hour for service. We upgraded to the Monaco suite which was a mistake. There was no fridge and construction workers woke us up early in the morning. To say the least, we were extremely displeased and disappointed that our anniversary ended this way.
great hotel - posted on 12/20/2006
hotel was clean, beautiful, and in a good location on the strip. I would definately recommend.
City Center - posted on 12/18/2006
Beware of the construction of City Center between Monte Carlo and Bellagio, construction goes on 24 hours a day and makes sleeping a challenge. If possible get room facing the Tropicana. They were also doing interior construction on the food court and restaurant so food service options were limited.
construction nightmare - posted on 12/10/2006
I brought my boyfriend for his 30th birthday and we were very sad with this hotel. The construction went on till midnight and then started back up at 5AM. The shower has no water pressure.
Okay for the Price - posted on 12/07/2006
We arrived at noon, waited until 3pm to check in. Our rooms were not available until 5pm. TV internet is horrible, don't use it. Great central location on the strip. Nice hotel for the price you pay compared to other hotels on the strip. This was our second stay at the Monte Carlo and we plan to stay there again.
Our second time at the Monte Carlo - posted on 12/05/2006
We like this hotel because of its size. Although it is much smaller than many, it offers a nice variety of shops and restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The casino is great too...I left a winner both times!!
MONTE CARLO - posted on 11/29/2006
HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I PARK MY TRUCK IN AN AREA THAT DID NOT HAVE A NO PARKING SIGN AND MY TRUCK GOT TOWED. I DID NOT GET ANY REFUND FROM THE MONTE CARLO
Awesome hotel - posted on 11/29/2006
The Monte Carlo experience was excellent from start to finish. We were greeted by the desk clerk and she was positive and accomodating. The room was clean and fresh. We had to call for a roll-away bed for my husband to sleep in the bathroom (snores) and that was brought up right away and set up! The daily housekeeping was fantastic and check out process a wiz. Thanks for a great time!
Construction woes - posted on 11/27/2006
I booked this hotel primarily because of the tram (that no longer exists) running from it to the Bellagio. I woke up in the middle of the night to loud water pipes and every morning to trucks at construction site.
Strip View - posted on 11/27/2006
Front Desk staff should give strip view room to customer if customer asked it and they should recomend strip view room if there is some vacancy
- posted on 11/25/2006
Room was old..not real clean..towels were rough..sloppy....window was filthy. 24 Contruction going on below..of the new City Center... Very noisy...all night long. On arrival...the first room given...had NOT been cleaned.... Man at front desk...was unsympathetic..grumpy... Casino was small... lots of "old" people... No entertainment...
Wish I had known - posted on 11/25/2006
Massive construction is going on right next to the hotel and even tho we were on the 24th floor the noise still woke me at 6:30 am. When I complained I was told there was another 2 years to go before it's done. I won't be staying there again.
Read.... - posted on 11/19/2006
I would strongly recommend the Monte Carlo - high ceilings and little smoke smell. Just lovely. Room was very good. If you are planning on going in the next several months, when you register BE SURE to ask for the farthest away from the construction site - we did and it worked out well. Major, major construction beside the MC. Great place and buffet for breakfast was supurb - nice fruit too.
Everything you need - posted on 11/11/2006
One of the finest hotel/casinos on The Strip. Good, well lit self-parking nearby if you don't want to valet (valet is free though). Starbucks & McDonald's in the hotel. Many other excellant dining choices. Clean room - didn't see it much. If you want a coffee pot, ask for it. Convenient CVS store right outside the front entrance (cheap snacks & water). I can't wait to go back!
Fine, but not a 4-star hotel - posted on 11/11/2006
The Monte Carlo was a nice, average hotel, but does not rate 4 stars. There is nothing special about the rooms. No smoke smell in non-smoking room. Had one disastrous experience in restauranr due to long wait, bad waiter. Very inefficient check-in and check-out processes. Expect a long line.
NOT A WOW PLACE - posted on 11/10/2006
We went to relax and enjoy the sun. Half the pool area was closed; the area that was opened was in the shade. Loud construction going on around. No coffee maker in room. I was not happy
BD Trip - posted on 11/07/2006
Hotel was okay but when you travel alone, hotel always want to give you the small far away small room.
Monte Carlo Hotel - posted on 11/06/2006
Overall a good hotel with lots of dining choices, the Lance Burton magic show, and the casino, of course. Entry to the buffet is slow but food and service is good once inside.

Beds and pillows were wonderful! Breakfast buffet needs a little help compared to The Golden Nuggett!
Great Casino - posted on 11/02/2006
Third visit to LV and we liked this Hotel the best. Central location, clean, not too big and not too small. Staff very courteous. Only complaint was a lot of early morning construction noise from next door. I guess that's a given in LV.
A fun time in vegas - posted on 10/31/2006
WOW! The 2 large fountains, comfy rooms, with wonderful service. The staff was nice and extremely helpful with planning a night out. One improvement that would help is the addition of a frig and coffee maker.
What a dump - posted on 10/31/2006
No minibars in the rooms. Small, stinky, poorly appointed and overpriced rooms.
recent visit - posted on 10/30/2006
recent stay at Monte Carlo hotel was great. Location very good on the strip, also assoc with MGM hotel group gives a wide choice of places to stay
Monte Carlo - posted on 10/27/2006
The room was OK, but no one told us that starting at 6:30 a.m. each morning construction would be going on. No matter where you sat at the pool there was no sun.

We arrived early in the morning and much to our surprise we were given the opportunity to check into our room before noon. Although we only ate at The Cafe and The Brew pub we were extremely impressed with the food qaulity, presentation and the proffesional manner of the servers. Because we were largely involved with people in a trade show in another hotel we ate at other hotels and in the future we plan to sample more of the Monte Carlo's offerings. WE WILL RETURN.
Nice place, but boring - posted on 10/25/2006
Things must have changed a lot since some of the other reviews. We had no problems with cleanliness, or their providing us with soaps/shampoos. We liked the room very much, but the town was boring. The only entertainment was the casino. The restaurants had terrible food and were grossly overpriced. We tried to leave the resort for food/entertainment, but there is not much nearby. We did enjoy being near Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. I found the fitness center nice, but really hot and couldn't get the air temp down. They needed a fan.
Monte Carlo - posted on 10/21/2006
Rooms were nice, casino area was pleasant. However, the entire pool area is closed off except for a very small area in the shade. They should of let me know this before I booked the room. If you are going for sun and relaxation by the pool, choose somewhere else
Must be LARGE convention to get good service! - posted on 10/19/2006
We were with a small convention, and we were treated as such: meeting rooms not cleaned; no "thank you for staying", catering slow to serve, nickel-and-dimed us to death! Too much construction, pools closed for construction; the open one closed at 5:00pm!!! We were literally thrown out of pool area, after being YELLED at that the pool was closed. Casino nice and clean - not smoky. No coffee makers, fridges, etc. 30+ minute wait for Starbucks - the only place to get coffee. Would not recommend this hotel.

Pros & Cons - posted on 10/13/2006
The casino area is nice, not too crowded but still plenty of action. The delears and pit bosses are friendly. The drink servers come around frequently when you tip them. The pool area was terrible, no sun. They are doing construction next door and half of the pool area is closed. They tried to section off an area to get sun (9 chairs fit in, so everyone is fighting over the tiny area of sun). Not the place to go if you wanted to relax by the pool & catch some rays during the day. They told us the construction could take a year or so.
Sunless - posted on 10/12/2006
The lazy river and wave pool were closed. The little pool that was open was COMPLETELY IN SHADE except between 2PM and 4PM. Coming from Chicago weather, sunning by the pool is a MAJOR part of my vacations.
Not again - posted on 10/12/2006
Half the pool was closed. There was construction going on so there was lots of noise and no veiw. Checking in is difficult. the service in the poker room is good.
Moderate in Las Vegas - posted on 10/05/2006
The casino was comparable to others visited on the strip that were of the same age and newer. The room was fine and clean but missing a towel bar handy by the sink. There IS a many-years-long construction project next to the hotel, and construction noise started early every day -- it's not terribly loud, but in a city where guests go to bed late... In the future, I would request a non-Strip view so as to be on the opposite side of the hotel from the construction.
Overpriced in Las Vegas - posted on 10/04/2006
I've spent many vacations in Vegas and the Monte Carlo is by far the most overpriced hotel to date. It was overcrowded, resulting in no chairs/room at the pool or lazy river. Long waits for elevators. Slots were not hitting--again, having spent alot of time in Vegas, you know the difference. The food was overpriced--there's nothing special about any of it and there's nothing below $10 outside of the food court.
Las Vegas - posted on 10/03/2006
This was a nice hotel. Construction around the hotel was a turn off. Entertainment wasn't bad. Room comfortable. Could use a coffee maker in the rooms.
Hassled over a non-smoking room - posted on 10/02/2006
We were given a smoking room, despite my online request. When I called to get a new room, I was told that non-smoking rooms weren?t guaranteed. Eventually a cranky supervisor came on the line. I explained I had my baby with me and that I was an asthmatic. She argued and I had to get pushy. Eventually, we were moved to a non-smoking room. To be fair, their web site was clear that non-smoking rooms weren?t guaranteed, but obviously they were not sold out since we were eventually moved. I didn?t appreciate being hassled and I won?t stay there again.

Bathrooms small and dirty, poorly maintained. Room booked not available on arrival. No in-room facilities, coffee, soap, fridge. Nothing better than a basic motel.
Want to sleep? - posted on 09/28/2006
Monte Carlo has the greatest beds, just make sure you are on the srip side, otherwise the construction earliy in the morning will disturb you! No sleep then.
Nice Hotel - posted on 09/27/2006
Clean rooms, friendly staff, good location, nice pool. Have stayed many times on business, this was the first "vacation". Definitely Recommend. The weekends get VERY crowded, it's difficult to walk up and down the strip.
Nice Stay - posted on 09/26/2006
Overall the hotel was great. Pub/Brewery was excellent and the lazy river was very nice. Only down side was a 30 minute wait to check in on a Sunday afternoon. Eight lines, 5-6 people deep. They need to develop a quick check in process.
Could not get any sleep - posted on 09/25/2006
Construction started at 4:00 a.m. - I understand this project is going on for 4-6 years - Could not get non-smoking room. Loud music from across the street from 12:00a.m. until 9:00a.m. - NO SLEEP IN THIS HOTEL.

On checking in, the reservation was not confirmed by the travel agent. The hotel worked with me and arranged a room in a timely fashion without difficulty or causing my blood pressure to rise. I greatly appreciated their efforts.
Are you a high roller? - posted on 09/17/2006
The hotel was clean and smelled good, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. However, there is 24-hour-a-day construction on the lot adjacent to the hotel. Hopefully you can stay on the 30th or 40th floor to avoid the noise. Also, the food and beverage service was slow, rude and EXPENSIVE. Hope you're a high roller.
Coffee makers? - posted on 09/17/2006
My only complaint, seems that since Strarbucks set u p shop in the lobby, the hotels no longer have coffee makers in the room, I like starbucks, but do not like having to go to the lobby to get my first cup

the smell in the hotel is great and is very noticeable when you come back from another casino. the place has a relaxed feel to it and exept in the buffet everyone was very helpfull and nice. we will stay thier again for sure.

From the outside and the casino level the hotel looks very nice but the room was a little old specially the bathroom. It needs to be remodeled!
Outstanding!! - posted on 09/08/2006
Our stay at the Monte Carlo was incredible. From the service to the food everything was top-notch all the way. The pool features, such as the "Lazy River" was absoloutlely amazing. We will definitely be back!!
Great small hotel - posted on 09/08/2006
Even though the hotel seems large, the hotel is smaller than other LV hotels making for a nicer experience. You are close to the pool, food court, casino, etc. The 3 pools are great but you have to get there early (7am) if you want a chair anywhere near any of the pools. There are plenty of chairs in a section which literally bakes you in the sun and is a walk to get to the pool. Had to wait to get my security box-would have been nice to have safes in the rooms. Staff was very accomodating and friendly. Great

nice middle of the pact hotel,nothing stands out as exceptional, however we were quite comfortable. However,the construction going on kept us from sleeping soundly.Service charge for health club facilities was a big turn-off.
Monte Carlo - posted on 09/02/2006
All and all a nice hotel to stay at. The pools are close to the elevators & you don't have to walk through the casino to get to them. The air conditioning was not good, the room was not as cool as I would have liked it to be. The rooms need some updating and you can hear your neighbors showering at all times of the day which makes for an incomplete night of sleeping. Cocktail service by the pool was great. There is a big construction project next store so you are awakend by trucks beeping at all times of the night. Brewery & Blackstone's were great.
a little dull..... - posted on 09/02/2006
Well, the Monte Carlo is in some need of revitalization. The hotel itself is very pretty. The rooms, however, lack personality. They are just plain blah furniture and colorless bedding. Not that you would spend much time in it, but when you do, you like to feel like you are somewhere special. I did not feel that at MC. The hotel also does not have much entertainment going on besides Lance Burton show, which by the way, is nothing spectacular. Its okay. Would not spend money on it again. I will not stay at Monte Carlo again, a little too boring for my taste.
excellent experience - posted on 08/31/2006
Very good experience, rooms were very clean, people at the front desk were wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel,
Good for the Price - posted on 08/31/2006
We had an awful room (noisy, a/c not working properly) the first night but they did move us to a better room. There is construction going on next door so you need to get as high up in the floors as possible. Wasn't spectacular but it was good and the price was definitely reasonable. Casino was a nice size, not too big not too small.
My First Time - posted on 08/30/2006
Well for my first time in Vegas this Hotel was not bad. We walk around to various hotel to check them out and i was pleased with my choice. The crowd was nice, there wasn't too many old people and there wasn't too many young folks running around all over the place. I had a great view of the strip and it was very quiet on my floor which I liked after those long nights on the strip! The people were nice and it was clean!
great location - posted on 08/29/2006
check in took one hour and there is no seating in the huge lobby.i was told my mother could sit in the casino if she was tired. Everything else was very well layed out and easy to get to.Good restaurants(try Dragon Noodle)and great food court and fun pool all near elevators as is casino.Free monorail to Bellagio and you can walk to everything.rooms below grade for the price,but location,location,location.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The food at the buffet was great, and the pools were clean and enjoyable. The staff at the hotel were extreamly helpful.
Monte Carlo - posted on 08/23/2006
The parking garage was under construction, made it hard to find a parking spot, but at night they would only let people who were staying there park in the lot. Its a smaller casino so you don't get lost. Rooms were adequate, beds were comfy. We got there on a Weds. morning and were able to check-in right away and the room was ready. One drawback was no fridge or mini bar in the room to keep drinks cold.

Poor Service at the Monte Carlo - posted on 08/17/2006
I was very disappointed in my stay at this hotel. The service was poor, our rental car was misplaced by the valet staff the first day, parking was very limited as I had to park in the New York New York parking garage.

Classic Vegas Style - posted on 08/07/2006
An excellent experience. Beds were the most comfortable I've ever had at a hotel. Construction outside the back of the hotel was not an issue, never heard any noise. Pool area was very nice definitely family friendly. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Great value for the money. Use of the spa is extra, not included in room fees unlike other hotels. The showerhead was a cheap high pressure valve, which really is our only complaint about staying there. Rooms were very clean and nice. One of the better casinos on the strip and definitely one of the best values.
Not impressed - posted on 08/04/2006
Not impressed. Requested two high rooms together because of construction. Took an "upgrade" for $60 for two rooms together, on a high floor, with a view of the construction? Wanted a weekend away from kids. Unfortunately wave pool and lazy river are BIG attractions for families with kids. $12 to rent a tube; $15 to buy one at the gift shop. CVS next door has same tube for $3.99. Ate at Brew Pub twice. Food good, service terrible. 25 minutes before approached - 1 1/2 hours for breakfast. Complained and offered a bloody mary, not a free meal? Definitely will NOT return to MC.
Needs Improvement: service

The hotel is nice but the a/c in the room did not work, and we even moved to another room and the a/c did not work in that room either. The toilet leaked in the second room. The customer service was very poor.
A Pleasant Surprise - posted on 07/26/2006
After reading the other reviews I was almost afraid to stay here. I loved this place. No noise in the halls, staff was friendly, casino great, and the Purple Reign show rocked. I would stay here again without a second thought. The breakfast buffet was great.
Monte Carlo - posted on 07/26/2006
The hotel did not have a Laundromat, a coffeepot, microwave, or refrigerator in the room. We stayed in a handicapped room. However we thought the bathroom was inadequate for a handicap person. The handrails were not strategically placed, the shower was difficult to use, the towel rack was misplaced. Suggestion - have a handicapped person design the bathroom. You advised us about the ongoing construction projects . You failed to mention the early hour construction began every day, before sunup. We were awakened every morning to the ding, ding, ding of heavy construction equipment backing up.
Great Visit - posted on 07/25/2006
We were a little worried about the contstruction and the noise level. Not an issue. Beautiful rooms, ammenities, and great pool area, lot's of fun. Hotel people were overall nice, except at the pool, kinda stuck up. We loved the early check in and the late check out. It was a bummer that the monorail to Bellagio is out of service due to the construction, and the cafe was closed. But overall nice place and will stay there again.
Sub standard room - posted on 07/19/2006
I had hoped the Monte Carlo's rooms were a bit more customer friendly. The room was sub standard and did not contain some of the amenities I am used to. The customer service however was very good.
Look Elsewhere - posted on 07/18/2006
We were notified by email a week prior to our vacation that they were doing construction in the parking lot/next door, not much we could do about it then. We Could Not Sleep! Paving breakers and back-up alarms on trucks woke us around 5:00am, and we were on the 22nd floor. We were told since we were notified there was nothing they could do (many others complaining also). The hotel does not have the variety of shops & things to do as other big name hotels in area.

Construction too loud!!! - posted on 07/10/2006
Unless you want to take a chance and get a room overlooking the strip - stay away. If your room is in the back of the hotel - be prepared to woken up between 5:30 and 6:00 am by all of the construction. I can still hearing the beeping of the trucks backing up - BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!! They moved us to the front and all we heard was the emergency vehicles going down the Strip! Buffet was poor - not enough staff to handle the crowd or prep the food.

When we first arrived we had a smoking double room when we had asked for a non-smoking king room. The front desk said they could move us the next day. After many trips to the front desk the next day, we were finally moved to our room around 10 p.m. Our room was very nice and clean for the price that we paid. We really enjoyed the pool area because it had plenty of chairs, a wave pool, and a lazy river. The only thing we really didn't like was the casino because it was hard to get a drink.
A Good Value - posted on 06/30/2006
Monte Carlo is a good value. A top hotel with a better price. The Lazy River was awesome. There are more couples than singles. The spa however messed up our appts. so their service wasn't the best. Everything else was good.

We got married 10 yrs ago in Vegas and had not been back until this year. We enjoyed our stay at the Monte Carlo. It was their 10 yr anniversary too. It was amazing to see how much has changed.

When staying at the Monte Carlo if you do not expect Bellagio/Venetian/Wynn/Four Seasons type of rooms and service you will be very pleased. Nice big rooms, great service. I was very surprised and pleased with how nice everything was. It isn't 5 star, but it is certainly solid 4, and one of the better values in Vegas.

Bad smoke and internet - posted on 06/06/2006

Let me start by saying my wife and I always stay here. But if you're planning a trip to the Monte Carlo in the next couple of weeks, beware. We were rocked to sleep all night long by the sound of pile driver's pounding for the new hotel next door, oh , and the occasional room shaking blasting was an added treat. All this with no warning or compensation. EAR PLUGS!
Don't always believe what you read - posted on 06/03/2006
Sometimes I wonder if the people who write these reviews have actually STAYED at the hotel in question. I was so afraid of the noisiness reported previously that I almost didn't book. I'm glad I did. My floor (21st) was very quiet and the hotel and my room were very clean and fresh-smelling. The main pool, lazy river and wave pools were great. As a business traveler, I found this hotel to offer just enough Vegas with a fabulous location on the strip. Remodeled last year, the Monte Carlo is very elegant and clean. I will definitely stay there again.

If you stay in a room below the 6th floor you will have a great view of the air conditioning units and blinding spot lights at night. Also unless you are going to see Lance Burton there is not a lot to do there.

Overall, this was a very nice hotel. The location was great. My only compaints were: There were 4 adults in our room and we always had to keep asking for extra shower towels. The bathroom needs to have a fan in it. The pool area is large, but not well laid out. All 3 days we had to sit way in the back behind what I believe was a maintence building.
