The only thing good about the hotel was the fact that it does not smell like smoke like other hotels. The room was outdated, the tub was not working, we had to stop in the middle of the shower to let the water go down so we can continue and it would not overflow, we called and they never showed up to fix it, and when we told them at checkout they said there was no mention of it at all, and we had to ask for a new hair dryer, since ours was throwing sparks out and we got one that was nasty dirty and it did the same thing the next day, and finally we called them again and they brought us a new one at 4:30am, when we asked for it at 2:30am.....

The room was spacious, the beds were squeaky & my back hurt for days after staying here. The chairs had stains, I hate that, I will not sit on anything that looks like that. The pool was nice, the food in the bar area was good. The buffet, for the price, was YUCK! We had a great view from our room. Find someplace else to stay.

The best thing about our recent stay at the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino was that it was only 1 night. The room itself and the buffet were adequate but nothing special. The first problem was check-in, when the agent handling our check-in answered a phone call and kept us waiting close to 10 minutes while he handled a complaint from another guest wanting to change his room. When we got to our room, a quick check out the window revealed the ugliest view we've ever had - nothing but construction everywhere. However, we hadn't come for the view and figured that the construction wouldn't be a problem at night. Wrong! All night long, equipment delivered supplies, with crashing metal and equipment backup beeping dominating the night noise. We then understood why the guest had been trying to change his room when we checked in. The next problem was heading for breakfast. We heard the 1st emergency alarm while boarding the elevator. Alarms kept going off peridically for over half an hour and it wasn't until the 4th or 5th alarm that they bothered to announce that the alarms were only a test. Three days later we again passed through Las Vegas and spent 2 nights at Treasure Island in a great room for about the same price (around $75 night). What a difference!

The Monte Carlo is definitely on my list of favorites for Las Vegas. We arrived early (noon) and were able to check in right away. Check in was quick and easy. Our room (16th floor) was spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was all marble and very clean. The shower was great. We were not bothered by the construction at all. We did not use the pool but did walk out there and I agree that the music is very loud (as it is everywhere in Vegas) and it was very crowded. The food at the Cafe was excellent and reasonably priced by Vegas standards. The casino was large but easy to navigate. Don't plan on winning in Vegas right now. Things are wound up tighter than a drum. Do your gambling downtown at the Four Queens and be sure to stay for the laser light show.
