My major qualm with the Monte Carlo is that they are closing down their poker room in April 2016. The poker room is small but it has always been a nice spot with friendly staff. It's really a shame to see it close and I'm not sure I'll stay here again. Otherwise, a decent hotel in a good location. It's showing its age just a bit and is not one of the best on the strip, but still a solid option, especially if you can get a good rate. Just be aware of the resort fee before you book!
