Monte Carlo Resort and Casino

Monte Carlo Resort and Casino Review

The Monte Carlo Resort is themed as a relaxing Mediterranean style resort, in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Situated between the Bellagio and New York, New York on the west side of the strip, the Monte Carlo makes a striking old-world impression. Lush marble floors, a grand glittering lobby and crystal chandeliers set the theme as you enter from Las Vegas Blvd. This is the Las Vegas Hotel Review of the Monte Carlo.

We view the Monte Carlo Resort hotel as one of the best kept secrets on the Strip in this review. With 3002 rooms, the Monte Carlo rates as one of the largest hotels in the world. But in Las Vegas, it ranks as mid-sized amongst the giants. Its pricing is in the middle, a more affordable version of the Bellagio or Mirage. Old world charm at a mid-range price. There may be some confusion going on during a major renovation project, but expect the room rates to be a bit lower as a result.

When you check in at the long front desk off the lobby, you feel as if you have landed in a luxurious hotel. The rooms are mid-sized and appointed with marble and cherry furniture.

If you want a grand themed resort, this would not fit the bill. Otherwise, the Monte Carlo it is a good generally reasonably priced option in the middle of the strip.

In addition there is the famous Monte Carlo Pub & Brewery at the start of the "Street of Dreams" shopping mall (depicted in photo). The Brewery features Pub fare during the day and an active night scene.

The 102,000 casino can be less crowded than others, which has its pluses and minuses depending on your tastes. All the usual Las Vegas games are available, including slots, blackjack, craps, Pai Gow poker, Baccarat and a sports book. The large theater features Lance Burton, a magician.
