Monte Carlo or New York New York?

[MasterGracey1969]

OK, I'm going to Vegas, and I have a choice between Monte Carlo or New York New York. Which should I choose?

[Rob™]

New York New York.

There are more attractions and things to see
and do then there is at Monte Carlo.

[MsSarah]

I prefer New York New York. The hotel seems to be cleaner as a whole....and there is quite a bit to do at that hotel for people 21 & up and 21 & under. Oh, and they have a rollercoaster too.

[Rob™]

Oh, and they have a rollercoaster too.

As well as an arcade.

The Monte Carlo isn't up to the standards it was a few years ago, so go with NYNY, you'll probably enjoy it more. And you won't spend much time in your room anyway...it's Vegas!

[HVStorm55]

For the same reasons everyone else listed, I'd say go with NYNY. Plus, it's an easy walk (just across the bridge) to a bunch of other places (like Excalibur, Luxor, MGM...).

[MasterGracey1969]

Oh, OK thanks. (I had also liked NYNY)

[elly]

the roller coaster at the NYNY is lousy, unless you like your head being pounded and jerked for the entire ride

[aashee]

I've stayed at both and I'd say NYNY. It's more centrally located and both have nice rooms.

I absolutely LOVE Monte Carlo, they have an AMAZING Pub there and make their own beer. If that's a plus for you, then I'd suggest it.

Also, you can catch the monorail from the Monte Carlo to the Bellagio which in-turn gives you easy access to Ceasars, Paris, Bally's, Planet Hollywood, etc.

Monte Carlo is also just a 5 minute walk to NY/NY and all of the other hotels accessible from there (MGM, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, etc)

There is not a monorail that runs through
New York New York to Caesar's Palace.

There is one that runs from the Excalibur
to Mandalay Bay. But that one is more
of a tram.

The true monorail runs on the east side
of the Strip which is from the MGM Grand
to the Hilton.

[sir clinksalot]

I didn't say NY/NY. I said from Monte Carlo to Bellagio. But your right, it's more of a tram and not the new Monorail.

The coaster is truly awful; has gone from from rough to nearly unbearable. It's beyond Viper and the late Psychlone. Last year was only the second time in my life I couldn't wait for a coaster to end; the other was over 40 years ago when I was five!

Still, that said, the NYNY would be my hotel preference. I'd be more likely to gamble at MC, though, since I look for lower table minimums (while watching for abominations like 6-5 BJ payouts).

A bientot.
