The Monte Carlo exemplifies a solid fusion of European refinement, American dazzle and true Vegas hospitality.
From the moment one catches sight of the entrance -- remarkable in itself, with its Renaissance statues and cascading fountains -- the Monte Carlo evokes an elegance unique not only to Vegas but also to the world.
Sections of the top four floors of the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, are burning. The hotel has more than 3,000 rooms, penthouse suites and newly remodeled conference rooms.
