The honey and I stayed here one night when we were in Vegas and it was a great hotel. The pool was amazing, the view was breath taking, the service was great, even the lines were set-up efficiently and moved quickly. \n\nthe only real problems were, that the moment you walked in it had this odor of bad flowers and smoke smell, it made me ill. also with the new aria Hotel, it is a maze of stairs, walk ways and BS to get past it and to the Monte Carlo, I almost feel bad for them. The last complaint, for whatever reason we didn't like to gamble there!! maybe the smell, or the older \""we take things WAY to serious vibe\"" types of people or what, but we never spent a dime there!!\n\nbut if you want to stay at a wonderful hotel, with great views and not too expensive, then this should be on the top of your list.
