Monte Carlo - The Real Deal :
We've never been big fans of Monte Carlo, but the strangely unplayable casino at ARIA has caused us to peek over the neighborly fence on more than one recent trip to CityCenter. Let it be said that the formerly staid and boring Monte Carlo has found a new pair of dancin' shoes.
New restaurants, new decor, new vibes and new blood plus the addition of the luxurious accommodations on MC's top floor - under the sub-moniker of Hotel32 - have collectively helped Monte Carlo shake off its ten year old case of the snoozes.
Monte Carlo History
Opened in 1996, the Monte Carlo hosts Lance Burton, Master Magician, Single Zero Roulette (!!!). It is modeled after the Place du Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. In January 2008, errant welders working without proper safety equipment and permits accidentally set fire to the Monte Carlo's roof. Fortunately, nobody was injured and the damage was relatively minimal. Monte Carlo is back and better than ever now.
Location of Monte Carlo:
Monte Carlo is located towards the southern end of the middle part of the strip. Neighbor to the north is ARIA and the rest of CityCenter, to the South is New York-New York, MGM Grand.
The Rooms at Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo offers three types of rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Monaco Suites (spa available) and Spa Suites. Deluxe rooms are on the smaller side (bigger than Harrahs, a little smaller than Mirage) have cherrywood furniture and nice views of the Strip or the Palms/Rio side. The Monaco Suites are a bit larger and a love seat/coffee table in front of the TV. If you want the spa option, make sure you request this when you reserve. The luxurious Spa Suite has a great view of the Strip or the Mountains right from the tub itself as well as a wet bar and real marble bathrooms. Nice stuff... we've got a friend who swears by the MonteCarlo and he's a pretty fussy guy.
Restaurants at Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo offers numerous dining options including:
Brand Steakhouse/b>, Andre's Restaurant (award winning French cuisine), The Pub (casual dining and beer beer beer) Dragon Noodle dim sum, sushi and other pan-Asian goodies, d.vino (Italian food & wine bar), Diablo's Cantina (bar, lounge and Mexican food) a buffet, 24 hour cafe, Starbucks and McDonalds.

I have stayed here more than any other place....high limit gaming at $25 limits during the daytime, can't beat that. All dealers, pit bosses there are extra friendly. Can't wait to go back. Try Diablo's.

The sight of my single biggest win ever, 9G's on roulette no less, and therefore very important to me. I hope they have not changed in hte last three years bc I loooooove the smell of the shampoo/conditioner/lotion here. So much memeory association I'll drop a little in the hottub to relax, drink some whiskey and think about Vegas. Rooms are ok, but Ive never seen one sober.

Great casino design: walk in a straight line and you see everything. Nice but not overwhelmingly so, which is probably why we don't hear too much about it. Their cigar shop probably had the most knowledgeable clerk of any I've met.

I stayed at the Monte Carlo in May 2000 right after I got my divorce and it was my first solo trip EVER. When I arrived I was a little nervouse about being in a big city all by myself. My room was nice, a little small, but fine for just me and the casino was very good. Like all of Vegas; the service was great for a true first timer like myself.

Nice, clean rooms. Nothing flashy at all. I personally had some great blackjack runs here but the dealers range from morose to a lot of fun. Drink service is about average but they don't seem to be actively trying to get you drunk here. The pool area is nice enough but I was there during CityCenter construction and that kinda sucked. Overall, a good property but to me it's just kind of bland. I personally liked themed casinos.

Kind of boring, but bonus points for lots of open tables, and unusually friendly pit-bosses.

Enjoyed Monte Carlo. Quiet casino and nice room.

Nice place to say, but nothing really stands out about the property. Once CityCenter opens it could become our new home base.

I stayed here prior to the beginning of CityCenter construction, which with the 24 hour construction going on next door, this place can no longer be described as "sleepy." But it's dull, and friends who have visited the hotel more recently than I have complained that the furnishings are no longer all that great and the prices are too high for what you get. Maybe the winter 2008 fire will expedite room remodeling on the property.

We stayed here in November / December 2008. I was pumped about it as I feel at home there, and spent more gaming time in the place during our first visit than the hotel we stayed in last time (CircusCircus). We got one of the re-modelled rooms in the back wing (not the Aria building site side, thank god!), which was nice and plush, and would have been happy to stay, but for the neighbours who watched sports until 4am, then decided to argue..... Three moves later (one for a noisy, leaking toilet, and one for a noisy baby) and we ended up with a strip view from a smoking rm. This was clearly one of the older rooms, and was really in need of a refurb to replace the chipped furniture, plus the bathroom was tiny. Besides the lack of sound proofing, I have to say that I still love the Monte, and will probably go back there one day, as long as I can get a refurbished room without a connecting door!

I love the Monte Carlo. Even if I don't stay there I have to visit their casino because it's soooo lucky for me. I never leave Vegas without stopping in.
