text: Stayed here this past weekend after finding a good deal on their website: $80 for Thursday, $160 for Friday, and $190 for Saturday for a standard room with 2 queen beds. For the great price, the place is totally worth it and I would probably book again since I'd rather save my money for gambling, drinks, dining, etc. \n\nWhen I checked in, I asked if they had an additional AAA discount, which they did. After swiping my card and checking, the guy at the front desk said I already got the best deal and couldn't get more of a discount. However, he happily gave me a booklet of comps which included:\n-2 passes to the Monte Carlo Buffet\n-2 Starbucks upgrades\n-2 free Big Macs with a meal purchase at McDonalds\n-2 free drinks at Sbarros\n-B.O.G.O. salon purchase\n-A couple of other things I can't remember\n\nThe Starbucks upgrade gave me a much needed caffeine boost after a night at Moon and Ghost Bar, the free Big Mac allowed my friend and I to enjoy a chill lunch while hungover, and the 2 buffet comps got us an almost free lunch for 3 :) I couldn't convince my friend to go to the spa (but it's called a *Men's* Facial!) so I had to throw that one away.\n\nI played at a Blackjack table in the casino one night and found it to be decent, but not too exciting. Unfortunately, there isn't as much eye candy as there is at Caesars and Bellagio, so all you can think about is how much money you're losing. \n\nWhile I didn't hang out at the pool, it seemed fairly crowded in the 105 degree heat. Again, not as glamorous as other places but not bad overall. \n\nThe shops were unanimously boring and made me wished I was staying closer to the Forum Shops. Then again, everything on the strip was a close cab ride away as the hotel is located in the center of the strip. \n\nThe elevators were fast, very close to the entrance, and there was never a long wait. \n\nThe valet was decent, but a little slow at times. One crappy thing is that you have to wait outside for your car, unlike at places like Wynn where there is an indoor waiting area. Not a huge deal, but did I mention it was 105 degrees? Also, there is construction being done right outside the hotel on the City Center complex, so driving got a little backed up as we were arriving and leaving. \n\nThe room was nice and had plenty of space for the 2 of us staying in there. We got 2 queen beds, a dinner table with 2 chairs, a side table, a TV (~27\"), closet, and a fairly large bathroom. My only complaints about the room were that it didn't get many channels (for some reason it goes up to 100 but they repeat all the channels 4 times), there were no free premium channels like HBO, the showers didn't drain as fast as the water came out (so you're standing in a half foot of water as you shower), and the towels left a lot of lint on you when you used them. I had to blow dry the lint out of my hair, and when I put moisturizer on my face all of it clumped up. Sexy! Remind me to bring my own towels next time. \n\nI would almost definitely stay here again if the price continues to stay favorable compared to Caesars, Bellagio, Venetian, etc. If I had to make a recommendation, I'd say that if you could save more than $50 a night staying at MC versus a nicer, more hip place, then it is a no-brainer to stay here.\n\n===\nOoh, I forgot to mention my biggest complaint: No wifi, and broadband internet was $14 a day! Booooo! Seems like it is common in Vegas, but still. How am I supposed to drunk Yelp and Facebook after going to the clubs?
