I am not sure I would go that far..the Riveria is a sh*thole. But the MC is the first on the list to be revamped by MGM. Once City Center is done I would expect they will re-work the MC. They did have some good microbrews until they closed the brewery and now only serve "others" brews.

Since the MGM owns most of the hotels in that area the impact of losing the MC is minimal.

Agreed Geeker - Haven't been to that hotel in about 5 years, but used to love to stay there, unless it's gone drastically downhill, it is far from a sh*thole.

The standard room at the Monte Carlo leaves a lot to be desired, but the suite I had was quite nice and reasonably priced.

This was 4 years ago, however.

I remember being very dissapointed with the hotel. Our room was tiny. I also did not think that the restauraunts were anything special, because we ended up eating away from the hotel the entire trip. It just seemed like ever other hotel we went into was so much nicer. Also from what I remember (it was at least 7 years ago) the sports/race book was extremley small too. Maybe S't hole was too strong of a word, but my wife and I were very dissapointed.

You are correct..the resturant choice is minimal. MGM hopes you will visit the other ones like NYNY or MGM for the better choices. Like I said the Monte Carlo will be the first to be revamped once City Center is done...not my fav place..except the bar at the entrance had a good IPA beer!!!!

Most of the Casinos have down sized the Sports Books..not the money maker the slots and table games are... MGM is small and difficult viewing..NYNY is very very small... Mirage is OK . Venetian is a good one (not an MGM property). Best use to be the Stardust, before it was imploded...Old School at its best.

I just got back from a weekend at Ceasars Palace and they had a fire in the basement that filled the upper floors with smoke. Pretty scary stuff if you are old enough to remeber the MGM fire in 1980.
