逛完Wynn之後，我們就到這次住的旅館Monte Carlo check in，這家三星半的旅館房間還可以，不過我們不怎麼喜歡他們的賭場，大部分時間我們還是都跑去別家賭場逛，旅館隔壁正在蓋新的Las Vegas Center，24小時施工，半夜有的時候還是會聽到施工的聲音，這點不太滿意。

We stayed at Monte Carlo for our Las Vegas trip. I booked the hotel from Priceline. We wanted a 4 star hotel and Monte Carlo is only 3.5 star hotel. I contacted Priceline, but was told that the hotels were rated with their own system. So Monte Carlo is a 4 star hotel with their rating system. We didn't really get a good deal, either. Monte Carlo offered a much better deal through their own website. But with Priceline, once the hotel is booked, there's no way to cancel. Bummer! I will never use Priceline ever again!



We checked in our room around 4pm. The hotel wasn't too busy at that time. The front desk lady was really nice. We requested a pool view room on the upper floor. This is room 131 on 28th floor. The supposed queen size beds were actually full size. I didn't think the bed was comfortable. There's a small table and 2 chairs. No internet service unless you pay. Standard cable TV. Closet with an iron board. The room is just a basic hotel room, but it does have everything you need. Besides, who stays in a hotel room when you're in Vegas?





This was our pool view from our room. The little river looked nice. Dr. Park went down to the pool for a little dip while I took a nap in the room.



Our view also included the new City Center construction site. The new City Center is HUGE! It's seriously a city within the city.



I think they want to finish building as soon as possible so construction was going on 24/7. I heard some beeping noises that sounds like trucks backing up in the middle of the night. The AM hour was also a little noisy.



This was the night view. We didn't see much light from our room.



Diablo's Cantina was the new bar/restaurant inside Monte Carlo. Some guy gave us 2 free pass to go in. We were going to check the place out. But....



The entry way looked so scary! This picture was taken with flash. Imagine it without flash.... it was really dark with very very dim red light. We walked two steps into the tunnel and I ran out. So eerie and creepy. So basically I hate this place because of its scary entryway!



The main attraction at Monte Carlo is Lance Burton's magic show.



There's a magic shop right next to the theater.



Tons of magic props inside the shop. They also had a guy there performing little tricks for the kids.



There's a guillotine in the shop that has lots of famous magicians' autographs. I tried to see who signed it. But since I don't know that many magicians, I didn't recognize anyone I know.



Dr. Park wanted to get a drink so we went to the bar area. They had gambling machine on the bar table. We played a little Black Jack while waiting for the bartender. When the bartender came, he asked if we put in $10 to play. Since we did, the drinks were complimentary. Nice! And I won $5 playing $1 Black Jack, too. haha....



This was the front of the casino at night time. Looked so pretty.



The fountain is the picture spot.



There's Dr. Park with his pose again. His look changed a little after a visit to CVS next door. He bought a Las Vegas hat for the next two days. Las Vegas was so hot and he didn't want his head to get burned. And he took off his nice shirt because it was too hot. And the plastic bags in his hand has my shoes in it. I had to buy some flip flop because my feet were hurting from walking in high heels all night. Note to self: DO NOT be stupid and try to look nice by wear high heels to walk around Las Vegas in the future.



Beautiful statues outside of Monte Carlo. Awww....

Monte Carlo is not too bad, but there are couple things I don't like about it. First, parking was a pain. They only had a tiny outdoor parking lot which probably only fit 100 cars. It was really hard to find spaces at night time. We had to park at New York New York and walk over. Second, I didn't like the construction noises coming from the City Center. Third, I didn't like their casino that much. I don't know.... the vibe was just not right there. No wonder the casino was half empty most of the time.

What I like about Monte Carlo was their location. It's right by MGM Grand, New York New York, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood and Paris. I like the CVS next door that saved my feet. I like the friendly service at the check in desk. That's about it. We didn't stay at the hotel much during our trip. Just came back here to sleep.

Monte Carlo is an ok hotel. It's not too expensive, but you get what you pay for. With the parking problem + construction noises, we probably won't stay here next time though.

Up next: Lotus of Siam
