Monte Carlo Resort & Casino Review

When it was built, the massive Monte Carlo was the world's seventh-largest hotel. It's now considerably overshadowed by its high-profile, all the more luxe-intensive brethren. Entering it is still nice, as it comes off as a European casino hotel alternative, replete with Corinthian colonnades, triumphal arches, and big and busy statuary, with an entranceway opening onto a bustling casino that got a substantial 2009 makeover, turning a bland white space into a slightly less-bland, but much nicer, space. A separate entrance in the rear of the hotel leads to a splendid marble-floored, crystal-chandeliered lobby evocative of a European grand hotel. We love that the guest rooms are accessible without going through the casino, but we don't really love the rooms themselves, as they are smaller than what we've grown accustomed to, especially in terms of bathroom square footage. The pool area, once the very last word in local pool fun, is now put to shame by better versions (including superior lazy rivers) at Mandalay Bay and the MGM Grand. It does have a number of child-/family-/budget-friendly restaurants.

The top level has been completely redone and made into an independently operated mini-boutique hotel called Hotel 32. A free limo ride whisks you to a greeter who puts you in your private elevator straight to the top and checks you into your handsome and masculine room or suite, which comes with some pretty swish details. Don't miss the club room with the free snacks. You're going to pay much more for these perks, but it might work out to be a better deal for luxury than the Four Seasons, so comparison shop.

Among the many restaurant options are, Diablo's Cantina, The Pub, Monte Carlo Buffet, and Andre's and there is a show featuring the hip-hop dance crew JabbaWockeeZ. Note also that the wild and wacky Blue Man Group is moving here from The Venetian in late 2012.

Facilities:
7 restaurants; food court; casino; concierge; executive-level rooms; fitness center; Jacuzzi; outdoor pool w/wave pool and lazy river; room service; showroom; spa; watersports equipment/rentals; wedding chapel

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
