an oldie but a goodie. there's nothing spectacular here (except for the Jabbawokeez and the pool.. haven't used it but i've heard about it!). this hotel gets the job done. everything is just enough; not particularly exceptional and not ridiculously bad. just right. \n\nThe rooms here are quaint. I didn't have any crazy stains (thank god) like some other reviewers. In Vegas i don't know how much time all of you spend in your rooms but we were rarely there (and if we were there we were passed the hell out lol). beds are cozy, tv is a cube, and bathroom is presentable. again, nothing to woo you... it is what it is. \n\nwhat i love about the monte carlo is their food court. i don't eat too much, i'm more of a snacker. while vegas is full of amazing buffets i never get my money's worth. do i really want to shell out 40 bucks to eat one plate of pick and pull stuff? not really. ill take my dollar menu thank you! the food court is open all the time (i went at 3am to get a pizza at sbarro). they have your mcds, sbarro, subway, starbucks.. just to name a few. similar to a mall foodcourt only less crowded. big plus? it doesnt smell like casino in there! \n\nfront desk people are friendly, they don't judge. me and my girl wandered into the lobby after a fun night at TAO only to realize we forgot what room we were staying in. we went up to the front desk attendant and explained our situation then she happily tended to us. thank god she didn't give us a \"these drunk b*tches\" look otherwise we wouldve exchanged some words. YAY for help! \n\nA-OK monte carlo. when people tell you you're old just say you're a classic.
