My husband and I travel to Las Vegas 3 to 4 times a year from the Seattle area. We always stay at the Encore and or Wynn. This time we were meeting friends from TX who were on a tighter budget and they chose to stay at the Monte Carlo, we did not want to stay here but did anyway. \nWe got a suite and hoped for the best. \nThe front desk service is great, the lobby is lovely. \nBUT the rooms are really run down! The beds are SO lumpy! The furniture has cracks in it, paint is peeling, glass is chipped. \nThe couch in the suite looked like it was left over from an old 70's party and dropped off at the curb and the monte carlo thought it was a good idea to put it in their rooms. Gross! \nThe casino was TERRIBLE!!! The smoke was SOOO bad and the dealers were some of the RUDEST I have ever ever ever dealt with. They didnt laugh, they didnt talk and they would hush people and ask people to leave if they were too loud etc. One lady told a guy to leave her table now! And he was just trying to make conversation with him.\nDont even get me started on the Cocktail Waitresses. They were all Grandma Moses and slower than molasses. It took us 45 minutes to get ONE drink. So we started ordering two at a time. \nWe finally had enough after just the FIRST nite in the hotel and we decided to take a cab down to The Encore to gamble. No smoke, great casino, wonderful dealers, NO kids... heaven!! \nWe wont ever stay here again. They need to update this place. Its just disgusting! \nThe ONE good thing is that The Cafe had good breakfasts at a reasonable price. Kind of like a Dennys but nicer and right in the casino. \nAnd as I said the front desk was great and the room service crew was nice but otherwise AVOID this hotel! \nYou would be much better staying at the Vdara and or Aria which are newer and cheaper and have better tables, food, dealers and rooms!
