Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino Reopens
The Monte Carlo is now open again this weekend for the first time since the fire that burned a major portion of the roof and top floor facade. The outside no longer looks fire-damaged. It looks more like it’s just getting a face-lift – some cosmetic rejuvenation. For me it would be pretty creepy to stay in a hotel that was burned out and still showed some of the after effects on the building. I just wouldn’t stay there. I know it’s all psychological but it would be just plain weird.
Things seem to be more or less back on track, and in some ways, this will be good for the property. Where they’ve begun the repainting process, you can really tell how dingy the hotel was already looking. It needed some sprucing up, but, of course, they hadn’t planned on sprucing it up to the tune of $100 million dollars. That’s the cost of the repairs and gaming losses during the time it was shut down. Yipe!
