 The Monte Carlo has renovated its top floor, given it a catchy name and turned their penthouse suites into some of the coolest rooms on the Strip.
Room Quality: Simply put, Hotel32 Monte Carlo hotel rooms are ballin. Every room has a scenic rooftop view of the Strip, huge plasma HDTVs and an iHome for your pod or phone. The beds are clean and comfy, and include Egyptian threads so you can sleep - or pass out - like a baby. Studios, suites lofts and penthouse suites are available.
Service Quality: Excellent. Each room has its own Personal Suite Assistant and an iPhone that acts as your "mobile concierge." Essentially, your wish is there command. With the steep coin your paying to stay at this hotel, you may as well take advantage of their awesomely unique services - we know we would! Also, did we mention they pick you up from the airport in a limo?
What You Get Bottles of in the Bathroom: Kiehl's toiletries to keep you so fresh and so clean. Also, the bathrooms are spa-like, and lofts and penthouses include private Jacuzzi tubs. No, not the heart-shaped kind.
Clientele: Upscale. Not surprising, given the price range. The cool thing is, there are only 50 hotel rooms and one small lounge at Hotel32, so it's a great place to make some new friends and get your mingle on.
How's the Pool? Guests have access to the Monte Carlo pool.
Table Games: It's the Monte Carlo Casino, so Hotel32 Monte Carlo guests have their choice of double deck blackjack ($25- $5,000), craps, Let it Ride, Pai Gow and baccarat. Scenic, solid and large - that should be the Monte Carlo casino tagline.
Bet Minimums: $25 blackjack and double deck blackjack tables.
Machines: Over 2,000 machines (penny slots to $1,000 machines), and new games seem to show up regularly.
Cocktails? Servers come around regularly, but since it's the Monte Carlo you won't see too many people getting housed in this upscale Vegas casino.
Who Gets Comps? Like the Monte Carlo, it's the M Life Slot Club. However, you can get all the freebie (non-alcoholic) drinks you'd like in Lounge32.
Free food in Lounge32, but it's probably not enough to keep you settled for an entire evening. We're talking appetizers, mostly. Go elsewhere for your entrees.
Number of TVs: It's the Monte Carlo sports book - 18 TVs, with one featured big-screen that plays the horses mostly.
Number of Seats: Around 30 for sports, 50 for the races and another 25 or so scattered in-between. No reserved seats for Hotel32 guests.
How Many Betting Windows? Eight, with a number of electronic signboards as well.
Free Drinks? If you're betting on the horses, than probably. Do yourself a favor and grab one of the discounted drinks in the Lounge32 and bring it down to the sports book for the best deal.
Snack Bar? Nope, but there is a bar in the back of the sports book.
Minimum Wager: $5 for sports and $2 for racing.
Number of Tables: Again, it's the Monte Carlo poker room. Nine tables total.
Comfort of Chairs: Comfy chairs and a decent amount of leg room. We can dig it.
Closed Room or Open to Casino? Yes, but the quarters can get a little tight.
Game Spreads and Limits: Texas Hold 'Em - $2-$4. No Limit - $300 minimum buy-in, with $2-$5 on occasion.
Beginner Games or Classes? Classes start at 10am. Early? Yes. Worth it? That depends on you.
How Crowded is the Room? Particularly busy from Thursday- Sunday, but we're told by the room manager that the wait is usually less than 15 minutes.
Comps? Drinks are free while you play, and if you play four hours a day they give you a $6 food coupon, which is nice but won't get you very far.
How Good Are the Players? They're good.
What Else Do I Need to Know? Again, this is the Monte Carlo casino downstairs from the Hotel32 Monte Carlo. Don't get lost looking for a casino that, um, doesn't exist!
