About the Casino
Twenty years after it opened, the Monte Carlo is no more. No, they didn’t implode it and start over, but instead they have done a complete top to bottom remodel to turn it into a new hotel called Park MGM and a boutique hotel within the hotel, NoMad Las Vegas, a sister to the popular New York NoMad and The Line in Los Angeles.
The $450 million renovation touched every single corner of the hotel including the casino, lobby, shopping, pool area, and all of the guest rooms. Most of the restaurants have been replaced and new nightlife options have been added.
While the hotel tower looks the same, just a different color, the overall look of the exterior of the property has changed dramatically on The Strip. Gone are the vaguely naughty European fountains and restaurants like Diablo’s Cantina. Now, a giant Eataly restaurant and market dominates the front of the hotel and the even more giant Park Theater draws your attention to the side of the property facing The Park and New York-New York. It’s nice, but the additive execution of it all means that it lacks an iconic cohesive focal point that hotels like Aria, Bellagio, and Caesars have.
The overall look of the interior of new property is what I can only describe as woodsy. Forest green is the predominant color alongside neutral shades of white and nature elements are highlighted throughout. The centerpiece of the big lobby, for instance, is the art piece resembling tree branches growing out of the ceiling.
The basic footprint of the hotel hasn’t changed – there are restaurants up front and along the sides of the long and somewhat narrow casino with the valet, lobby, hotel elevators, and pool at the back.
The casino is pretty much the same as it was just with new carpet, paint, decorations, machines, and tables although there are new high-limit areas. I know saying that there is new just about everything and saying it is the same is a bit of a contradiction, but if you were at all familiar with the casino when it was the Monte Carlo you will see what I mean. It’s not a dramatic overhaul like they did with the old Sahara when it became the SLS a few years back.
