The Monte Carlo is the practical strip-goer's casino. It is probably the best balance of price and comfort available on the strip. It also offers an extremely high convenience factor when compared to other strip casinos. I'll explain.\n\n1. There's a CVS right next door. In a town like Vegas, spontaneous supplies such as sunscreen, sunglasses, water, and Plan B may become crucial to a successful trip. When you stay at the Monte Carlo, your 24 hour CVS is just a quick walk away.\n\n2. There's a tram to Aria and Bellagio. If walking is starting to get to you, this tram is your answer. It comes often and quickly whisks you a few hotels north so you can save your walking energy for later. This is especially useful if you need to get to the Bellagio quickly to give someone Plan B or money you owe them.\n\n3. You aren't going to be killed by mobs when you walk around. The Monte Carlo is one of the smaller casino resorts and, as a result, doesn't draw a million people who just sit around and gawk at the craziness of the building. If you end up here with a woman screaming at you about some unplanned pregnancy, you're not going to draw nearly the number of stares that you would at the Venetian. \n\n4. The walk from your room to the outside world is very fast. This can be compared to the MGM Grand, where the walk from your room to the strip will take 2 days each way, which is hard when you're dragging someone somewhere while they are trying to make a scene.\n\nOh yeah, internet access is included with your room...but you have to use an ethernet cable because the year is 2003.
