A: I guess it depends on what you are looking for. The price was good. The pool was nice but I didn't use it and it's very well located on the strip. However the paint was peeling in the bathroom and the room in general was very basic and pretty run down. The hallway to my room had large stains on the carpet and the walls were beat up. My recommendation would be to spend an extra $30 a night and take advantage of some of the specials the nicer resorts offer. I will say though the customer service at the Monte Carlo was excellent.

Q: negative

A: Good music and nice interior but horrrrrrible security staff. Super rude and pushy. Nowhere to stand without getting yelled at to keep walking.. Unless you drop $2000 on a table good luck getting treated like a regular person. Wouldn't go back after how I was yelled at for not moving fast enough away from "VIP" sections.. Guess I'm to regular chicagoan for all these bottles and bullshit. Ps dont bother with a package. We did and it wasn't worth the 1 hr open bar considering the shitty ass treatment we got..

Q: negative

A: I had a Groupon to use, and it requires dine-in. We'd previously picked up take-out from this location and although I had called it in and arrived on time to pick it up, they still took about 20 minutes to get our order (it was just pulled pork, what's so difficult?). We hoped dine-in would be different, and even made reservations. We arrived right on time at 6 pm on a Saturday and were made to wait a while. Then they apparently gave our table to someone else, so quick had to come up with another table. Our server was very nice, but apparently overworked because we rarely saw her. It took a long time to get our drinks, long enough we started wishing we'd ordered our food with our drinks. The food took a very long time to arrive. It was over an hour from our arrival before we were served even the mac and cheese for my 2 year old, who was getting impatient. Finally got our food and it was just not that good. I've had much better BBQ pulled pork at Thee Pitts Again and never had to wait that long to eat. All the disorganization and chaos, topped off with so-so BBQ means we won't be back, unless it 's to try the bar without the kiddo. It just takes too much time to get food that ain't that great in the restaurant.

Q: negative

A:
This was horrible. We read the poor reviews but thought we'd give it a shot considering it's a Food Fight place. The host seemed uninterested in being there. The waitress was completely absent from the get-go. No drink refills or any checking in on us. We went around 6:15 on a Friday, so it wasn't a super busy time but not a dead time, either. The food was not good to the point that we left food there (even my husband), which isn't typical. We had the brisket sandwich (bland) and fries (the fries were good), the pork verde (I didn't try it but my husband didn't eat most of it), and the crispy fish appetizer (fine enough but greasy and have since discovered that we don't like smelt, which is a small fishy tasting fish that's eaten/fried whole with the bones in). I can't remember the last time we ever went somewhere and left with such a distaste for the whole experience-- the food and service. Maybe if you were going just for the bar later in the night, it'd be worthwhile. But then again, I'm not sure what food you'd order aside from fries. All in all, a big pass for us.
