re: Monte Carlo Hotel in Vegas, worth a crap?

If you're trying to keep the price down but still want a decent place,I've stayed at the Linq (last spring after the renovation) and the Flamingo is ok. The location of the two is great. The rooms are not anything fancy. If you're going to be out of the room and a lot, and not expecting to wake up in a Cosmo or Wynn type room, look into the Linq/Flamingo, can get prices there. If you want a really nice Vegas pool, look into Caesar's, and all the upscale one's.
