text: First off listen if you are going to give the hotel stars and say you will stay at Bellagio next time that is not helpful That is comparing apples to oranges Of COURSE Bellago is nicer it costs times as much That is like saying Dennys sucks because Lawrys has way better food You need to realign your expectations if you are expecting the Bellagio when you stay at Monte Carlo If you are looking for the something wild club scene this is also not the hotel for you Do some research nnNow that said for the price it is great I have been staying here exclusively for years ever since my last nightmare stay at a TR property and I have been very happy Yes things go wrong but this is a huge hotel with thousands of guests moving through everyday Cut them some slack You are human too nnI do not know why everyone is complaining about wifi not working in the rooms They do not even OFFER free wifi in the rooms Only the first floor though I have stayed as high as th and got it to work They offer free wired internet in the rooms but no wifi nnI have never found rooms to be dirty Worn yes in need of updating maybe But filthy No The water pressure is a problem at every huge high rise hotel in Vegas and everywhere else I have ever stayed in one nnThe pool is our absolute favorite of any Las Vegas hotel Other than the one day it has a pounding DJ and wet bikini contests it is a mellow quiet safefeeling atmosphere I love the lazy river and the wave pool and I have never had a problem getting a chair in the sun or shade Wait service is good if you treat them well and the only one time I saw any misbehavior security was on TOP of it big time it was just someone who had way too much to drink and was endangering herself by being in the pool nothing big I think this hotel does tend to attract families because of the pool as there are always kids in it but I have never felt like it was overrun with kids nor an inappropriate environment for when I do have my kids with me which is rare nnAdmittedly we do not eat onproperty much we tend to go to other resorts for dining but not because there is anything wrong with MCs food we just try to brand out and try new things and MC has not had the widest array of choices Now there are more with the new openings so we may have to try Yusho on our trip this month nnValet has always been fast and we use it every time we stay I like to park once and cabwalk for the whole trip so we do not have to worry about drinking I also have used the new expressearly VIP checkin and it was great One room of our two was ready by am the other was not but they quickly found one that was and we were on our way to the pool less than minutes later Yes the line for checkin is long at pm on a Friday it moves very fast and you should see the line at Bellagio if you want to compare Yikes nnOn our last two trips this year the casino air was the cleanest it has even been I did not need my asthma meds once and not one time did I end up at table with anyone smoking The air actually seemed pretty darned clean for a casino nnOne thing I really do like about Monte Carlo is that it is not enormous and the elevators to the rooms are placed very close to checkin and valetparking as well as the pool and the tram to Bellagio I hate nothing more than having to walk half a mile just to get to my room through a crowded casino carrying luggage nnMonte Carlo is also a good less expensive place to stay if you do not plan on spending any time in your room but just want an inexpensive quiet convenient place to crash hit the spa and relax at the pool while you do your partying elsewherennAs for the comment about only overweight middleaged White people and frugal Asians staying here that is disgusting and wrong You have clearly never been to the pool midday Yes it is a quieter hotel not a party scene but that comment is really ugly Sheesh
