Hubby n I needed a retreat from our day to day life.  He surprised me with a room that included a jacuzzi facing the strip!  This room also included a wet bar which came in handy as we bought our own alcohol.  The room was nice and pretty clean.  What I didn't like was the hallway smelled like old musky cologne.  I don't think it was from an old man because that smelled lingered there during our whole stay,  The elevators were pretty accessible meaning they weren't crowded all the time, like some other hotels.  I really like the location of the Monte Carlo, smack in the middle of the strip.  Another plus is that it tram that connects to the the Aria and to the Bellagio,  It was super cold when we were there last week, 40's, and we didn't want to be walking from one place to the next.
