So I came here for a conference and if this was my first time in Vegas I would prob never come back! The Monte Carlo is horrible compared to where I've previously stayed on Vegas. Where do I begin? Let's start with the room.\n\nRoom: super old school, dirty carpets, nicks in walls, chipping paint etc. I've added photos to this review so you can see exactly what I'm talking about, but the worst of the worst was the bloody bandaid that I found on my shower wall on day 1 that remained until day 6 when I left despite me telling the housekeeper about it. Also didn't appreciate the holes in the sheets and the lack of hot water! Now I stayed on the 17th floor and when I say I like to take hot showers I mean steaming up the bathroom almost too hot to breathe showers lol. So I thought maybe I'm being unfair and the water does get hot just not as hot as I'm used to. WRONG! I polled several of the hundreds of women at my conference and they all said the same. The water feels hot when it's running in the tub but when u turn the shower on it's like warm at best. It's also hard and made my skin super dry, but I was told my a local that Nevada has some of the hardest water in the country. Funny I don't remember that from my previous stay but whatever.\n\nHousekeeping: not worth their weight in salt! Housekeeping never changed the sheets, cleaned the tub or toilet. They only thing they did was provide new towels. I had to request soap. Also didn't appreciate leaving my room at 9:30 am, coming back at 3:00 pm and still having a dirty room. Especially when the same housekeepers were in the hall in the exact same location \"cleaning rooms\" when I left and returned. The last thing I didn't appreciate was the housekeeping staff placing my items in my luggage bags despite them being out of the way. It kind of makes me feel like they were going through my luggage and made me uncomfortable. I've never had that happen before.\n\nDining: so I loves the cupcakery! Great tasty cupcakes and Starbucks was good with pretty fast service. I also appreciated the 24 hr fast food places in the hotel. This proved very useful with my early morning flight. The Cafe was where we ate several times. Good food horrible service! They seem to be understaffed no mater what time you patronize them (I went during normal business hrs and late at night/early morning) and the service is very slow so if you're in a rush to catch a show you may want to skip this place. The good thing is they had 2 for 1 house wine for happy hour and it was good. The buffet was okay, not worth $20 bucks in my opinion, but hey it's Vegas!\n\nOverall this hotel could use a major renovation big time! The only reason I gave it two stars is bc the waitresses in the cafe are very hardworking and try their best to accommodate you and the food is decent. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend anyone else to.
