Clean, great location.

We just returned from a two day/night trip to Vegas. The Monte Carlo was great! I had read that the construction noise was very bad but instead heard no noise at all. We did request being put on the opposite side of the hotel from the construction. It was a very good stay and restful night! Loved the buffet for breakfast and the casino for gambling. I found a good rate on Vegas.com. We will definitely stay at the Monte Carlo again!

Very much enjoyed our stay. It was the best price we could find on the internet. Booked a special we saw on TravelZoo.com for 90, including a 25USD food credit. Casino is not too large - so it is easy to come in off the street and get right to your elevator. The casino was never crowded, and there was very little smoking. Monte Carlo is next to New York, New York, and is in easy walking distance to all center strip casinos.
The pools are quite nice, but know there is monstrous construction going on around the hotel. If you are poolside, you will see it all around you and hear it. It is not paradise. However, we did not hear it from inside our rooms at all. Our rooms and the entire hotel were very nicely outfitted, and very comfortable. Would absolutely stay again. Besides, who in Vegas has time to go to the pool?

We are just finishing our first stay at the Monte Carlo. We got a super rate of 69.00 a night thru an email promotion. We stayed in a standard room, it was large, the bed was a very comfy pillowtop. The bathroom was large with good lighting and nice big fluffy towels, plus the water pressure in the shower was amazing! I found the slots to be just a little tight at times (but where aren't they on the strip), we ate twice at the "cafe" the 24 hour restraunt and the food we had both times was excellent and reasonable and the filet mignon eggs benedict was fabulous and fresh squeezed orange juice too! Diabblo's Cantina at the front of the property was fun with good food. The pool area is nice, but, you are surrounded by the City Center Construction, but it did not slow down my sunburn one bit. Our room did face the pool and construction (6th floor) and were not bothered by any construction noise until about 9am of so, and I am a very light sleeper. The McDonalds is a short walk from the elevator to get your morning coffee (yes, starbucks is there but i am not a fan) Mcd's coffee is better and cheaper.
All in all I would stay here again the room was very clean and housekeeping very good. That being said I am very cheap, and will stay only where I can get a good room and good rate at MGM properties. No, I would not stay at Ecalibur or luxor no matter the rate. I did not enjoy those hotel stays.
