360 Vegas Review: Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino Fall 2013

Published: April 4, 2015, 4 p.m.

b'Located somewhere between luxury and value, Monte Carlo is a property with an identity issue. \\xa0Originally conceived as another Vegas themed resort, this one paying homage to her namesake in Europe, Monte Carlo offers the less affluent a chance to experience and enjoy luxury. \\xa0However the properties theme does not accurately reflect her energy.The properties classic architecture can be enjoyed by the pool via the lazy river. \\xa0Beautiful chandeliers and stained glass ceilings resided over low to mid-limit gaming tables and fine dining can be enjoyed 50 feet away from a fast food court. \\xa0The Monte Carlo concept is almost the definition of an oxymoron, but in a good way.Monte Carlo is fun. \\xa0It isn\\u2019t the kind of place you think of in \\u201cmust do\\u201d or \\u201cyou have to try\\u201d conversations. \\xa0It isn\\u2019t a destination nor does it offer anything exceptionally unique, its just fun. \\xa0Monte Carlo is like a well run McDonald\\u2019s or any popular fast food chain that offers good food at a good price. \\xa0Monte Carlo offers Vegas fun for those that don\\u2019t want to stay at Circus Circus the lowest tier properties but can\\u2019t afford to stay at the Mirage or Caesars Palace.'
