My gf and I recently stayed at the Monte Carlo for four days in the Monaco Suite. I was really looking forward to this trip b/c it was a gathering of cousins.\n\nWe started by going to happy hour in the afternoon at The Caf\u00e9. I ordered Chicken Tikka. About 2.5 hours later, I started to break out in sweats and had to go to the bathroom multiple times. It kept me sick throughout the night including my dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse with the group of 15. I totally didn't get my money's worth b/c I had only two plates before having to go back to my room.\n\nI thought about all the things I ate and drink up until that point and I could not find any other explanation except for that Chicken Tikka. DO NOT ORDER IT!\n\nAfter several hours of napping back in the room, I tried to get settled in and take out my luggage. That's when we found a number of problems. There was a bottle of KY Jelly in the drawer next to the bed, a bunch of trash in the drawer under the TV and the bathroom faucet was full of gunk.\n\nI took photos of all three items and went to Guest Services to complain. The gentleman listened to my complaints and saw the pictures I took. He apologized and gave me a $50 credit and said he would get me another room that's equal or higher. I said since it's already 12am, I can wait until the morning. He said okay and someone will call me between 12pm and 5pm tomorrow.\n\nThe next day, we went for lunch and put the privacy card on the door. I still haven't received a phone call after 2pm So we went back to guest services to check the status.The gentleman told me that it looked like we are downgrading to another room. I was extremely frustrated and upset so I explained the whole situation to him. He had to get a manager (CeCe) to get me an upgrade. Cece comes and said there's nothing for me. I explained my situation again, showed her the pictures and then she had a change of mind. She gave me an upgrade and said someone will come up with room keys for me to a new room.\n\nWhen we returned to the room, we realized the privacy card was gone from the door. Someone came in and cleaned our room. What the heck! So we got our keys a bit later and moved everything into the new room.\n\nThe new room was the Diamond Suite on the 18th floor. So we walk in and after a few steps,I stepped on a Cheeto on the floor. Then we found a pair of jeans in the bedroom, the shower handle was full of gunk and some of the lights did not work. Despite all of that, we were willing to deal with it b/c at least there's no KY Jelly in the drawer. We started to unpack and I realized that my cigar cutter is gone. It was sitting on the table in my previous room. I'm pretty sure housekeeping took it.\n\nThe new room also didn't have a privacy card or an in-dining menu. I had to write a note on a piece of paper and stick it outside of my door for \"DO NOT DISTURB.\" \n\nThis was the most frustrating stay I've ever had in Vegas. Besides the location of the Monte Carlo, there is nothing to like about this place. It was dirty, I had my stuff stolen, my room was cleaned despite the privacy card and I got food poisoning from their food. I would not recommend anyone to stay here for all of the reasons above. If I had to do it all over again, I'd spend the extra money to stay elsewhere. It's not worth saving the few bucks per night.
