Monte Carlo Monaco Trip Report June 2019. Possibly NSFW.

The hauntingly-gorgeous and long-suffering Mrs Pimp and I were lucky to spend a week in Monte Carlo. We also spent some time in Italy and Nice but I will limit my trip report to Monaco.
The first thing you notice upon arrival is the incredible natural beauty of Monaco.
But the image that remains in your head is that of INCREDIBLE mind-boggling generational wealth. Yachts and automobiles. This ghastly Russian Oligarch's yacht was anchored in the distance our entire stay:
Our hotel was the Monte Carlo Fairmont:
Sadly, because we are Poors, we did not have an ocean view. Our room overlooked the hotel entrance with views of both the famed Monte Carlo and the celebrated Grand Prix hairpin turn:
The rooftop pool was the highlight of our trip. It is stocked with high end perfect-10 hookers from all over Europe and the globe. Mostly Russian, Ukranian and eastern European countries. They are likely brought in by the promotion company that runs the pool. Mrs. Pimp was oblivious to this, until I explained it to her. It made for quite the entertaining Saturday pool party. Assuming I was a Russian oligarch or VC instead of the struggling businessman I actually am, I enjoyed the attention:
These girls flooded the rooftop pool and outnumbered the men by a ratio of 3-1, all looking for a Sugar Daddy. Sadly, I am all Daddy and no Sugar.Drinks were 24 Euros and champagne bottles ran between $250 and 10,000. A poolside couch runs $125 but you have to buy a $250 minimum bottle of champagne as well.The family next to us was celebrating a birthday and had run up a 45,000 Euro bar tab in three hours. This is the norm there, people spending six figures in a day. But I digress....
So to recap, hookers in Monte Carlo look like this:
Between The Fairmont and the Monte Carlo Casino I recommend a great restaurant/bar -The Buddha Bar which is up these steps:
The Monte Carlo Casino is everything you think it is, starting with the 20 million plus of automobiles parked out front. They charge you 17 Euros to enter. The minimum blackjack hand is 25 Euros and I did not have the pleasure of seeing any whales playing other than a really drunk Russian at the Craps table.
A few other nice spots:
As for restaurants, great ones are everywhere. I'm not really a foodie and all my meals were comped anyhow. But it was excellent everywhere, standard upscale French with maybe a bit more emphasis on Italian.
Overall, it was nice trip, to see how the 100th of the 1% live. But not really my speed. But it was great to see it.

That’s awesome. If I ever hit the lottery, that’s the first place I’m going.

I’ve visited Monaco before. I was humbled to say the least. Monaco and to an extent, Nice, is what Southern California wishes it were.

I thought Capri was extravagant (and it is) but that’s another level. Wow.

I like Capri better than Monaco, Capri is much more quaint

Did you do a google search for Monte Carlo women bikini?

I’m sorry man. The proximity of Mrs Pimp precluded the possibility of prostitute photography. So I did what I could to paint a picture. Cut me some slack.
To get a taste go to YouTube and check out Nikki Beach Monte Carlo. You’ll understand if you watch that.

The beaches sucked though. Y’all visit Eze?
Posted on 6/23/19 at 4:44 pm to Gaston
Yeah the beaches are pretty bad. Plus they are building out into the harbor like Dubai now so there is a lot of construction noise. Eze was beautiful. Nice was relaxing. Italy was fun-cheap shopping.

Word. Were any of them your pics?

We took a boat out of Cannes to one of the islands just off the coast, the beaches were better out there...and that coast is hauntingly beautiful from the water. I’m not one to be impressed by money, but GD some of those boats out there are just hard to understand. Tenders more expensive than my house.

That 250/300m Russian oligarch yacht is rather pedestrian. There is an 800m one there as well.
Being in Monte Carlo put me in a philosophical mood. Or maybe more like an anthropologist . I would guess the whole vibe turns off about 90% of the people who see it. It’s so over the top and so deliberate. It’s like the antithesis of the American ethic. Lol, I felt kind of dirty.

You saying Americans are more modest? I never felt like the Europeans were showey, I just assumed everyone with bad taste were Italians. IDK why I say that, just the Jersey Shore style isn’t my thing.

Nikki Beach St. Barth’s has amazing talent as well.

It was the pool. Watching guys order 5 bottles at 1250 euros apiece for girls they didn’t know. The casino was pretty relaxed., There were a lot of Russians and Middle Easterners at the pool. Tourists came to the hotel parking lot all day to take pictures of the Lambos/ Ferrari’s/McClarens etc.

My wife and I just watched the Murder Mystery on Netflix with Adam Sandler and they were at Monte Carlo for a bit.
After some artsy shots she said, “that seems like a great romantic place. We should go there.”
I just ’d

Curious where you went in Italy? Looking at going to Nice in November sometime. With day trips to Provence and Genoa, Italy? As well as the coast and mountains of Italy along the way.

We had a choice to make between Italy and France and we went with France. We were able to spend a very long day in SanRemo Italy and it was wonderful. Great food and scenery. Excellent affordable shopping at the open air markets. But then we spent four days in Nice. There are a lot of reports above on the Italian Riviera.
