Pros: Centrally located on the strip, easy check in, microbrewery, tasteful appearance.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: Monte Carlo is excellent for couples. It is potentially romantic. It is also family friendly, especially in the pool area. This hotel offers quality at a moderate price.

| grey002's Full Review: Monte Carlo Resort And Casino |
If I had to choose one hotel in Las Vegas that impressed me the most, Monte Carlo would be the winner! My first visit was back in July of 1998. I returned there this past December for a pleasurable visit once again. My favorite haunt there is the spacious Monte Carlo Pub & Brewery to drink my favorite beer "High Roller Red", ha ha. This excellent microbrewery specializes in several home beers with "High Roller Red" being one of them. Lots of great pub type snacks there as well, warm and cold choices, appetizers, etc. Later, I head out to the slots since I am a member of their "Slot Players Club" and have come out ahead in the past, but no major jackpots to brag home about.
I must say, Monte Carlo has a beautiful classic entrance. It is all done in off-white paint and gold trimming. Glorious angel sculptures overlook tremendous columns and sculptured fountains dotted by traditional antique black iron lamp posts. Entering the lobby is quite the view, filled with imported marble and the most beautiful crystal chandeliers I have ever seen. Check in is easy, and the elevator is right there to take you to your room. What did impress me is that any guest staying at Monte Carlo will not have to go through any casinos, food courts, or pool areas, a rarity in Las Vegas hotels.
Rooms are comfortably large with lovely tan & rose coloring and rich dark cherry furniture. The room includes complimentary hair dryer, iron & board.
Be sure to check out the Lance Burton Magic Show. This is well worth the buck paid. It is in a 1200 seat "Victorian Style" theatre, comfortable and plush. Children 3 and above may attend.
The pool area is the best! Featuring lazy river, wave pool, and cool kid pool.
Monte Carlo is very "European Style". It is everything a guest staying there, as well as myself, can expect in the name, except for the price!
