Monte Carlo Hotel And Casino

Before arriving at the hotel, I was in contact with the concierge (who were awesome and responsive!). I wanted to make sure everything was perfect because we were celebrating my boyfriend’s 30^th birthday as well as 20 years cancer free. They were super friendly — which is what I was expecting upon arrival.
During check-​in we were greeted by a not-​so-​friendly worker. (Who also almost mischarged us more). We were so tired that we didn’t address the issue then and there. We went to our room and were very pleased. It overlooked the pools and everything was clean. (I think some rooms must be more updated than others. Because reading other reviews regarding outdated things and cleanliness, I cannot relate).
My boyfriend and I decided to go down and speak to someone. We spoke to a very friendly and helpful person at the concierge who then introduced us to the manager. He was super nice and accommodating and we were upgraded to a better room. We were so happy! The new room was great, two bathrooms, a couch, lots of space and overlooked the strip.
Food — We had the pub on our first day and it was great. There’s also a good slushie place downstairs near Starbucks.
Gambling — Aside from all the smoking, had a great time gambling and service for drinks were great.
Conveniently, there is a CVS down the block as well.
Our trip in Vegas was incredible and we would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to others!

I’m writing this review solely to emphasize how awesome our pool experience was here — DESPITE the fact I was practically chased down halfway across the pool area by a security dude asking for my ID (on my 25^th birthday, I might add), presumably because I looked «young» and had a beer in my hand. I mean, I suppose he was doing his job, but that was a bit awkward.
Aside from that, we went in July and the pool was bumpin’ every day starting at noon (even on Sunday). I knew they had a pool and wave pool AND lazy river, but I had no idea it would have a DJ and an MTV party-​on-​the-​beach kind of feel all day long. This was highly entertaining and was honestly exactly what we were looking for, as we were in party mode. My favorite part was the lazy river which no one rented the overpriced inner tubes for. Instead, people just walked around and around the not-​so-​lazy river aimlessly, drinking and socializing. There were staff posted around the river blowing whistles at you if you dared sit on the decorative island the lazy river wrapped around. This seemed amusing at the time but it might have been all the Bud Light Limes.
Overall the pool area was fun, loud, and packed without being uncomfortably crowded. It was just sloppy enough to make the people watching enjoyable and it was a great place to warm up before dinner and a night on the Strip. I would come back here solely for the pool experience. The hotel itself was clean and airy and our room was generic, albeit reasonably priced. Monte Carlo had an overall good ambiance for the value and provided a solid Vegas experience.

Gross gross. I am staying at the Monte Carlo. Not only are the rooms gross, but the service is BAD. We waited in the check in line for over 30 mins. Not one apology. I asked the check in woman if they were short staffed and she replied that she thinks they are on lunch. If check in time is 4 and its 3:50, why would they go on lunch? The room was dirty and old. I think it’s time for renovations. Would NOT stay here again.

This hotel is pretty clean inside as you walk in walk to Slot Machine Pl Tracking will games they have a great bar called the pub with a great band playing they serve strong drinks friendly staff since construction is going on is kind of hard to get in and out of there with your car that is the only drawback right now and it looks like MGM on the properties are going to start charging for parking and I don’t like that

Hotel/​Room: very nice and reasonable rates, pretty modern
Casino: I like the feel of it, not bougy like Bellagio or Wynn. Very. Homely feel, hard to find $ 5 craps
Restaurants: pretty good for anything on the strip, but without comps don’t go to the Asian restaurant, Italian is good

We recently stayed at the Monte Carlo Friday and Saturday night (1÷15−1÷17÷16). I am an easy guy to please, but we encountered a situation that nearly gave me a heart attack. I was downstairs in the casino when my girlfriend called me from our room. She told me someone had knocked on our door while she was taking a nap. She woke up in a haze and to her surprise it wasn’t me. The man at the door seemed caught off guard as well. He man then asked her for her last name and said he was making a status check on the room. The man did not identify himself at the door.
My girlfriend, in all her innocents, called me laughing about it what had happened. I instantly turned pale. I’ve been in Vegas less than 8 hours and some guy I don’t know has my last name and room number. I left the table and ran to the front desk. I spoke to your GSA Marry who sorted out the situation. Apparently, the man who had came to our door was indeed a manager (I have his name on a business card somewhere in my suitcase) and his actions were legitimate.
I have nearly 15 years of private and hotel security experience and my last 3 have been in housekeeping as a supervisor. I am familiar with status checks and why we do them but this situation was handled poorly. The Manager didn’t even have the gull to come out, apologize and hand me his business card himself, opting to have Marry hand it to me (she was delightful might I add). I will be checking in to your sister property at the Luxor today and hope the experience is not as distasteful. I was having such a great time before that phone call…

For my two night stay (12/​29, ¹²⁄₃₀):
I got in line for check-​in at 2:43 and had my room key by 3:02, which wasn’t fast but wasn’t as horrifying as some of the stories I have heard. The clerk was slightly too curt, but she did her job thoroughly.
We were on the 17^th floor facing the pools and did not hear any construction or noise the entire time, other than some strange tapping from another room a couple times the last night.
The room was almost well cleaned when we checked in (I found a clothing sticker and bandaid, but they weren’t obvious). The towels were very stiff and had a burnt smell to them (like they were in the dryer too long), while my mother felt her bed linens/​pillows had an «off» scent to them (I did not smell anything strange regarding mine).
Maid service was adequate, with the room cleaned every day with no problems. I brought my own pillow (theirs are the usual awful soft ones), but do wish they had a comforter or heavier blanket option (it was very cold). On that same note, the air conditioning is a relatively modern wall vent with a digital display.
The water pressure in the shower was AMAZING. I cannot praise it enough, it basically solidified their fourth star. The multiple Starbucks also helped them earn kudos.
I’ll my review of their fully furnished but lackluster fitness center (inside/​past the spa) in the spa and salon’s page. Watch out for it closing early (6pm)!
Watch out for pushy manipulative salespeople in the Street of Dreams!
Check out the gift shop for Monte Carlo and Las Vegas logo goods. You do get a discount with your mLife card, though I think the somewhat strange (talked to stuffed animals) older female cashier stiffed me (it looks like she didn’t apply the discount to all the items). The MC goods might even become collectibles if the hotel does change its name…
Besides the initial clerk, all the other employees of the hotel were very friendly and professional, including the maid, concierges, bellhop, and valet employees.
There was one concierge who printed my «will call» tickets for Ka at MGM Grand for me and offered excellent directions via two different routes, complete with a map.
Their location is fantastic, sandwiched between two higher-​end resorts (Aria and Bellagio, with other neighbors including Cosmopolitan, Vdara, and Mandarin Oriental). Thanks to the free tram that arrives every 6 or so minutes, you can easily enjoy the amenities of the more luxurious neighbors (and charge all the MGM-​owned Resorts to your room too). It’s slightly more difficult to cross the street, as it involves walking until you get to a pedestrian bridge or crosswalk.
It is not as new and shiny as its neighbors, and thus is a little worn and showing its age (peeling wallpaper, awful cracked seat coverings for the food court chairs), but I feel it is reasonably well maintained.
I’ve never stayed here before, so I’m not aware of how prevalent its original theme was. Right now it comes across as generic fancy European. The stained glass and ornate cast/​molded ceilings are nice though.
Overall: Occupies a niche solidly above the likes of Excalibur and Circus Circus but below its immediate neighbors (Aria, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan). My mother loved it here! (I think she’s used to the lower end or family-​focused places) I’ve already booked a second stay, so here’s hoping the next stay goes just as well!

I have stayed at a few casinos in Vegas (Flamingo, Venetian, Treasure Island and Mirage) and this is by far the worst. The façade is nice; the restaurants that face the boulevard are very updated and the check-​in area is also pretty, everything else is subpar.
We received one of the worst rooms possible, the lowest floor, very end of the hallway and facing the construction. My guess is that hotels like this probably renovate rooms from the top to bottom so perhaps this room just hasn’t been touched yet but it was like being in a cheap hotel in the 90s. Dingy carpet, ugly gold fixtures, mold in the shower, cheap and crappy everything. I have stayed at a wide range of Vegas hotels in the past so I thought I knew the quality I was getting but it was worse than I expected. I would stay at the Flamingo many times before ever staying here again…
The silver lining is that I was only staying for one night and this was a good way to confirm that I am a North end of the strip kind of girl, Cosmo/​Planet Hollywood is my limit. This end (South end) is way less visually appealing and more of a pain to walk around, I would for sure not recommend it for a first timer.

Fool me once…
As expected, MGM did not take the feedback from my last review. I don’t know why I even gave this godawful casino another chance, but I got cheated again by their video blackjack that automatically assumes you want to bet max, losing $ 20 in one fell swoop. Again, the Excalibur does not pull this garbage. Worse yet, you can’t double on 11s or split like ranks, there’s no let it ride, and they don’t even put points on your card!
What a garbage machine and creating a bad customer experience. I’ll never be back to this disgusting casino again. Come on, PR rep, give me that form letter response like you give a shit, I dare you!

I like to book my vacations to Las Vegas using ‘Vegas​.com’. Whenever you compare prices, Monte Carlo has very competitive if not one of the lowest prices for being in such a great location. It’s adjacent to New York New York, which is at one end of the strip. I did notice they charge a $ 25 daily fee for gym and wifi, which cannot be declined, but even adding that into the package price it’s still a deal. You save on time and taxi fees by being in a prime location. If you walk out through the ‘Street of Dreams’ there’s a free tram, that takes you to Aria, and Bellagio — just learned that piece of info this trip. You can thank me later. All in all, an above average place for an average Vegas price.

Never again.
My friend and I both work in customer service and we understand that customers can be terrible people. They are not always right. So, naturally we hate complaining about anything and even when we do, we do it with a smile and the empathy that not everything is in your control as an employee.
However, there seemed to be a distinct lack of customer service and overall upkeep during our simple one night stay at the resort. We moved rooms twice and there was a problem in all three rooms we had.
We paid for early check in and our first room wasn’t even clean. There were towels on the floor, a trash can in the tub, dirty drinking glasses on the desk, and a distinct layer of dust on everything. We called the front desk and they changed our room.
The second room initially had no problems. Then I took a shower and after I was done, the faucet wouldn’t stop loudly dripping/​trickling water. We decided to just give it time and went out for the day. Upon our return and subsequent outlet search to plug in our phones, my friend found that someone had written REDRUM on the wall. While honestly kind of funny, it was rather unnerving and we didn’t want to be charged for graffiti so we called the front desk again and our room was changed.
Our third and final room had an AC unit with a banshee call that could wake the dead. At this point, we were tired of moving and tired of bothering the front desk, so we just turned it off and went to bed.
While the staff was great at dealing with our room problems, every other time we came into contact with someone else, it was not a pleasant experience. We wanted to know where to stow our bags before our flight left after we had already checked out. The MLife check out desk woman looked like she was trying to ignore her customers rather than deal with them as we had stood in line for a while and she didn’t even look us in the eye once. We were there a good while before we gave up and moved onto the regular check out line where the woman there also barely looked us in the eye before barking out, «Bell desk!» and gesturing in its direction. The lady at the bell desk just scowled at us before gesturing to the bellman standing behind us (who turned out to be one of the nicest people we came into contact with). She then went back to some conversation she was having with another bellman.
To top it all off, my friend ended up talking to the manager on duty who tried to smooth everything over with a $ 50 lunch voucher to Diablo’s which unbeknownst to us, but should have been known to her, was closed for the season.
In the end, nothing really seemed to be resolved and we couldn’t get out of that building fast enough.

The room I stayed in was in poor condition, ripped bed sheets, holes in the wall, ripped wallpapers, etc, etc.
I will avoid staying here next time I’m in Vegas.

What a good weekend!
I give this hotel 4stars because it never gave us any problem. Clean, nice, & simple. You get what you paid for. The lobby is nice. They have a little food court and they have this one place were I ate at for a snack which is called Nathan’s hot dogs it’s pricey but really good. Give it a try. The casino here is cool I won money that’s all that matters. We checked in early and they had a fee. They gave us our room key and we were on level 20. We didn’t get the strip view but we got a view on what they are building for 2016 or 2017.
The beds are comfy clean carpet and nice house keeping service.
They would greet us every time we would pass by. We didn’t get any noisy neighbors maybe we were the noisy neighbors jk lol. We also had a chance to watch Sunday football at Diablos pricey for food and drinks just know to bring a lot of cash to eat or drink there. I enjoyed my stay here. I read reviews before I got here
And they kinda scared me but I thought this hotel was nice and clean maybe I just had good house keeping lady! lol well Monte Carlo did us well!

This is our 3^rd trip to Vegas this year. I like to stay somewhere different each time to explore other hotels. I am sad to say I was very disappointed in the quality of this hotel.
My first impression when I first came in: a horrible old smell– kinda like old perfume. It’s hard to breathe in the whole casino and lobby area.
The people at the front desk are a little unpleasant. I had to deal with two girls who you could tell didn’t like their job. When we got our room key, we went upstairs and the key didn’t work. I had to go back down to the lobby and try it again to find out it was the actual door that was having technical difficulties. Moving on to our second room, pretty decent. A little on the old side and not as clean as you would expect. However, this was not the bad part.
As soon as I went to shower you could see there was a drainage problem. The water in the tub wouldn’t drain down which resulted in me showering with water raised to my ankles. After this, I immediately called the front desk and requested a change of room. After moving to the 3RD room, this was still an issue… And we were on a different tower! I called the front desk and let them know that I did not want to change rooms again. She insisted on calling it in to get someone to fix it the following day but it was still an issue.
They waived my resort fees for the 3 nights we were there. The manager whom I spoke to was very understandable and handled the situation as best as he could but I do not plan on staying here again.

Stayed at this hotel and casino for the first time recently and had a good experience. Being one of the MLife resorts, it’s a great strip-​central location and easy access to Aria and Bellagio resorts by way of tram or short walk. This may be one of the older hotels but still a nice stay for the money.
The suites are clean and basic. Didn’t get to try the more luxury rooms, but was satisfied with the mountain view room I got.
Food: Many options from the budget food court area to more fancy upscale dining. I’ve dined at Brand in the past and enjoyed their menu and service. Highly recommend the meat entrées.
Casino area is what you expect. Tables and slots galore, pick a denomination and play your heart and wallet out. A few bars to grab a drink as well.
Entertainment: This resort has a good variety to check out. I didn’t get to see the live bands in the bars or restaurants but did see Blue Man group a couple years ago and it was good. A bit slow and the music a little repetitive sometimes, but overall a nice show to see at least once. Some cool audience participation and interaction as well.
If you are looking for a hotel/​casino on the strip, this is a good option. 3.5 stars!

Monte Carlo had the most reasonable pricing for our Vegas trip last weekend, so we decided to reserve 3 rooms for Friday and Saturday night. If you’re not looking to party during the day, Monte Carlo has a great (albeit crowded) pool area! When we came in November it was open 9am-​4pm, but hours are extended in the summer.
Check-​in had a pretty long line (we had to wait 20 – 30 minutes around 3:30pm), but after having endured an hour-​long wait the night before at Flamingo, 30 minutes seems like nothing.
In the rooms, you get the bare minimum. TV, outlets, bathroom, and everything is clean. There was no fridge, coffee maker, etc. Our room was directly facing some construction going on near the strip, so it was a bit noisy during the day. Fortunately we weren’t inside our room much, because VEGAS!
Location is great — about a 10-​minute walk to MGM Grand (closest Fat Tuesday), and 15-​minute walk to Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile Shops (second closest Fat Tuesday, ha!). There’s a food court located downstairs right next to the pool entrance, including cheap options like McDonald’s and Rubio’s — great for travelers on a budget!
NOTE: If you’re booking through
, make sure you book all rooms under the name of whoever is checking in. Since I put different names under other rooms (even though I paid for all of them), my friends had to wait in line separately, as I didn’t discover this until I got to the front. It would be nice if Monte Carlo had our reservation information so we didn’t have to waste so much time.

It’s an older hotel. Walking inside and then also walking inside the other newer hotels, you can tell the MC probably needs a renovation. But hey! It’s cheaper without the renovations I think. And it’s perfect for those looking for a cheaper stay.
Like any other hotels, lots of gambling on the first floor. You got to walk through a lot of tables and slots before even getting to the lobby if you are coming from the strip.
Decent place to stay for the price. The other places are probably more expensive.

I do like that Monte Carlo is near the middle of the strip, but that’s pretty much all I liked about it.
The rooms are not impressive and for some reason seem a bit musty/​dirty. Definitely a bit outdated. Asked for a King bed but they only had 2 queens available. Both beds were lumpy and uncomfortable to sleep in.
The bathroom was dingy and super outdated. The shower curtains were heavy and dark so when I was showering, it provided very little light for me. The toilet– oh man– was SO loud. I was nervous to flush because it made a very loud flushing sound. Every time we flushed, it woke the other person up!
* I noticed an advil pill under the sink when I arrived. Even after housekeeping stopped by, the same pill was there which led me to believe that they’re not that thorough. Ew.
The ceilings in the hallway were also really low. I’m 5’7 and when I stretched my arm up, I could touch the ceiling. So weird.

This place has a grand entrance and lobby but that’s where the magnanimity stops unless you count the wasted area when you get of the elevators and have to figure out which hallway to go down.
The staff are friendly and courteous.
the Valet were the best part of the facility.
We checked in around noon on a Monday, they didn’t have a room ready but gave us room keys and texted me the room # when it was ready.
the casino/​food area was not well outlined, it was the standard Vegas «we are gonna keep you in our hotel as long as possible layout»
The rooms are nothing special the view was nice.
I have stayed at nicer rooms at some holiday inns.
Some of my team had issues with drainage both in the sinks and showers.
I do not believe we will be staying here next year for this event.

Seit 1996 gibt es am Las Vegas Boulevard das Hotel Monte Carlo, das das Fürstentum Monaco gestalterisch interpretiert. Es liegt unmittelbar neben dem New York New York Hotel, das ebenfalls zur MGM Resorts International gehört und dem City Center.
Mit 3002 Zimmern gehört es nicht zu den größeren Hotels in Las Vegas, bietet aber auch viel Luxus für seine Gäste. So gibt es 3 Pools mit Kinderbecken, Wasserfälle, Wellenbad und künstlichem 120 Meter langen Fluß, dem Lazy River.
Das Casino hat beachtliche 8.400 m², wo man bei Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Pai Gow Poker, Keno, Caribbean Stud Poker, Baccarat, Renn– und Sportwetten, 2.200 Slots und Videopokergeräte sein Glück herausfordern kann. Für die reichere Kundschaft gibt es einen Players Club, den sogenannten «M life Players Club».
Sehr übersichtlich ist das eigene Shopping Center mit 20 Stores ausgefallen. Neben einem Foodcourt gibt es noch 2 Gourmetrestaurants, das Blackstone Steak House und Andre’s French Restaurant. Für Entertainment ist im Hotel auch reichlich gesorgt, unter anderem tritt im Hotel die Blue Man Group auf.
Von außen ist das Hotel liebevoll gestaltet, im Inneren habe ich keine herausragenden Stilelemente mit dem Thema Monte Carlo vorgefunden. Durch seine zentrale Lage am Strip sicherlich eine attraktive Übernachtungsmöglichkeit.

I would consider this place if you are trying to save on hotel. I paid 500 for two nights. That’s a pretty good deal!
However, be warned it it not the cleanest of hotels nor is it one of the most modern of them. It just does the job. It is a place to sleep and a place to shower.
The service is nice. The concierge is super friendly and always helpful. The front desk representatives are super friendly as well.
The best part is if you give them your email at check in you get a emailed check out link. The express check out takes literally 3 minutes to do. The best part of it all is that you don’t have to wait in the massive line to check out. The lines can get pretty massive during the lunch hours and the morning time!

Nous sommes arrives vers 8h30 au buffet et déjà plus beaucoup de choix. Les produits né sont pas de grandes qualités. Ça ressemble plutôt a une cantine. Nous avions pris des tickets réductions de 50% et heureusement que nous n’avions pas payer plein pot! C’est vraiment décevant de proposer ce genre de cuisine. J’ai demandé une préparation de macaronis and cheese … La catastrophe ! Ça ressemblait plutôt a quelques pâtes avec une soupe pour la sauce tellement c’était liquide! Immangeable
