Located on the hotel’s top floor, guests will discover HOTEL32 – an exclusive boutique hotel offering the escape savvy travelers search for but seldom find; a celebrity-like VIP experience, available to all. Right from the start guests know they have found something special at HOTEL32 as they are whisked away from the airport in a limo. Upon arrival, a bellman is waiting to personally escort them to their accommodations via an express elevator, accessible by key card only. No check-in desk here; guests proceed directly to their retreat where a Suite Assistant provides private check-in within the comfort of their room, leaving those registration lines behind.
At HOTEL32, a collection of five room types – ranging from studios to two-bedroom penthouses – include such high-tech gadget as HDTVs and iHome docking stations. Some suites also feature BluRay players, televisions integrated into bathroom mirrors and Creston remote systems for easy, one-stop control of the room’s drapes, lights and electronics. Special touches such as welcome amenities, signature turndown gifts, and pre-stocked refrigerators based on guest preference, complete the VIP experience and ensure everyone feels special.
Monte Carlo’s standard Deluxe Rooms are tastefully decorated in contemporary earth tones with cherry furniture, luxurious pillow-top mattresses with crisp bedding, 40-inch flat-screen HDTVs, iHome docking stations, high-speed Internet capabilities and all the amenities needed to make a stay comfortable and convenient, including spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip or pool area.
Those looking for added luxury and additional in-room amenities will want one of the exquisite Monaco, Spa or Diamond Suites. The suites feature options such as dining rooms, wet bars, fitness rooms, remote-control lighting, in-suite safes, special armoires offering complete music and video systems, and Italian-marble bathrooms featuring whirlpool tubs.

It’s time to switch the phone to voicemail and block out the calendar for the rest of the day. Monte Carlo’s inviting pool complex is perfect for classic fun in the sun and with weekend pool parties, sand volleyball tournaments and live DJs, the poolside party will be rocking from sunrise to sunset. With four pools, including a wave pool and 400-foot-long Lazy River, deciding how you would like to spend your day in the sun is the hardest decision to make. Live rich by reserving the ultimate in poolside relaxation – a private cabana featuring teak lounge chairs, flat-screen TVs, and a personal attendant for added indulgence.
