Monte Carlo in Las Vegas for Less Than $50 a Night
Monte Carlo in Las Vegas cliff1066
There’s good and bad with everything. Now that the economy is in the dumps (bad!) there are some incredible travel deals (good!).
I just found a great deal in Las Vegas.
The Monte Carlo Resort and Casino is offering a special price. The AAA-Four Diamond resort is offering rates from $42-$51 per night over several Sundays through Thursdays from May through August. That’s a real deal!
The fun thing about Las Vegas is there’s so much to do. It’s not all about gambling. I love to go to Las Vegas for the hiking! Red Rock Canyon, about a half-hour drive out of Las Vegas, is full of hiking trails. One morning we started early and had Bighorn Sheep following us along our hike. Sometimes you’ll see wild burros.

And then there’s Lake Mead National Recreation Area with Hoover Dam. And not far from the dam, Arizona Hot Springs is a 5.6 mile hike via White Rock Canyon, a spectacular slot canyon with tale-tell signs of multiple flash floods hurling car-sized boulders into the canyon. The hike goes by Lake Mohave, an emerald green pool of water that’s part of the Colorado River below Hoover Dam. And the hot springs are awesome! A 20-foot vertical steel ladder climbs up to a series of hot springs–bathing suits are optional.
And when the sun goes down you’ve got the strip, and all of those glorious lights. The selection of restaurants all within walking distance is beyond compare. That’s enough entertainment for me.
I think I’ll take advantage of Monte Carlo’s offer this summer. It will be too hot to do much hiking, but I’ll bring a good book and hang out by the pool.

[...] Monte CarloI stayed at this hotel with my husband a few years ago, and we enjoyed the pool without kids. Well, without our kids. The pool was still teeming with families. The Monte Carolo wave pool and lazy river aren’t huge, but the room prices at the Monte Carlo can’t be beat. I would try to hit this pool at off hours since it gets very busy. [...]
