Monte Carlo Resort and Casino

This was one of the worst vacations ever. The hotel, the Monte Carlo was rated 4 star... Baloney! It was at best a 2 star if that. The first room had black mold growing on all the bathroom fixtures! We requested a new room so our second one was on a lower floor and a smaller room. During the day the windows rattled from the rap and hip hop music they play all day at the pool in order to drown out the jack hammers and construction noise! the food at the buffet and restaurants was very poor and very very expensive. the best place to eat was Mcdonald's and I hate Mc donald's.Every time you turn around there is a timer share shark trying to get you to go to a presentation. Sadly my husband agreed to one so he could see Lance Burton. They save seats in the nose bleed section, where everyone was discussing how pitiful the hotel and the show was. For goodness sake we could see the trap doors but not any of the "magic" It was a horrible show. At other shows they provide TV screens for the balcony so they can see what is going on.Vegas is a vacation for idiots! The Monte Carlo hotel must be scheduled for tear down because they certainly do not care about their reputation! The restaurants are expensive, you are always running a gauntlet from "[*] card handlers" and time share sharks. It is worse than Mexico. the entire strip is filthy dirty, piled high with garbage. but I must admit the worst area was the properties owned by MGM and Monte Carlo.the worst part is that we were never informed of construction, I will never again trust Orbitz and I have managed to tell at least a hundred people and plan on telling many more of this rediculous fiasco. The original trip was Cancun and it took over 12 hours on the phone to reschedule due to the Swine flu scare. Orbitz will never see a dime of my money again.

No line at check-in, refrigerator provided at no cost, no line at check-out, helpful and friendly staff. Only downside was hearing adjoining room doors/occupants.

Room was very clean, hotel has a great location right on the strip, great pool area.

it was great, close to most things but just out of the noice

Hotel was great , great location to all you wont to do , down side the pool closed to early ! restaurant's in hotel were all a good experience . best trip to vegas yet !

Parking not labeled very well. Then once we did park, it was a long walk to the hotel entrance and then a long line just to check in. We were on the 15th floor but could hear the music and all the noise from the pool very well. Also, the walls were so thin we could hear a conversation from the room next to us.

Got in late Thursday night for a 3-day weekend. Up early on Saturday- great, free valet parking- headed to the Hoover Dam. Back to the hotel at noon- ate at Diablo's Cantina- great food and atmosphere for people watching! Cruised the strip and headed to a Cirque show next door at New York New York that evening. Saturday, laid out by the pool for a few hours. Very crowded, but nice. Music was way too loud for early in the morning, but they were likely trying to drown out the construction sounds next door (many buildings going up right next to the Monte Carlo). Spent the rest of the day at other casinos and parts of the strip- ended the night at "O" at the Bellagio and a midnight Jason Mraz concert at the Palms. Checked out Sunday morning- very easy drive to the airport to head home to the East Coast.

Really nice hotel, some little problems in the room, but werent so bad. Nicce Restaurant

The was nothing that was overly appealing at this hotel. For the money, it was fine but I wouldn't stay there again.

The Monte Carlo seemed "old". Old furniture, old TV, poor beds; you name it. It definitely needs a rehab. In it's current state it is more of 3 star hotel at best. Perhaps less. Also, everything seemed expensive i.e. $10/drink. I would not recommend the location. The previous week I was at the Hilton in Grapevine, TX and got very spoiled.
