Has any of the Vegas regulars here stayed at the Monte Carlo hotel? Any tips or comments that you could give me, as I will be staying there for the last week in October?
Many thanks

Stayed there a few times before I went posh and moved to the Bellagio.
Positives:
- Fantastic location
- best casino on strip (in terms of blackjack selection at $5, and the amount I have won on their slots)
- Monorail to Bellagio (reopens December?)
- great bagel place for brekker
- brewpub wheat beer!
- very easy to navigate
- cheap
Negatives
- pool is crap, concretey (is that a word?), and crowded
- other restaurants not great
- rooms average
- Lance Burton is a redneck tw@t.

We stayed at Monte Carlo last January, it was one of the few LAS hotels that had the pool open 'out of season' (Ya know 'cos it's sooo cold there in January at 80 degrees!!! )
There are 3 pools, one for swimming up and down, one with a small wave type thing going on (great fun) and one that's sort of thin and goes round in a winding sort of circle thing, a bit like a lazy river... it's hard to describe! Anyway there are places you can set up camp by the pools but in addition there is a huge concrete bit towards the back of the pool area that has a couple of waterfall features.
There's a bar and there are some soft drink machines dotted about.
I think it was pretty good as pools go, I could name worse and if you want concrete you should see the Aladdin! Most of the places we've stayed in LAS have had busy pools (and we've stayed at a few!)
The Monte Carlo overall is a reasonable hotel and we've stayed a couple of times and got a good price.
We only ever stay a few days in LAS, and there is SO much to do that we don't spend that much time in the room or the hotel where we are staying, so as long as it's clean and reasonable what they hey
Hope you have a great time.
Cheers

A few years back I was more than happy with the MC pool, however since then I have been fooled by the peacful elegance of the Bellagio, and the 'hip'ness of Moorea at Mandalay Bay.
It should be fine during the week, but will likely be rammed on the weekend.
