Welcome to my Las Vegas Blog, I went to Vegas on 4th October I know not the hottest time to go but the only real time that I could get time off work. We arrived at McCarran International Airport at around 19:00. We made our way straight to the hotel via taxi. We waited in the taxi rank for around 30 seconds and there was a taxi there for us. The taxi took us to our hotel The Monte Carlo which took around 5 – 10 minutes to get there as the traffic was not that bad at all, the fare was around $16.00 and we gave the taxi driver a $4.00 tip. When we fist saw the hotel we were very impressed with the hotel lobby, it was large and very clean but better still someone was available at the front desk for us. I had booked a standard room online on the Monte Carlo’s website for the first 3 nights of our total 9 nights stay in Las Vegas and gave the staff member the confirmation number and our passports. We were offered an upgrade of room, normally I always say no when I am asked but after the 16 hours of travelling I asked for the rates to see. The extra price for the Monte Carlo suite was an extra $30.00 on top of the $69.00 we were going to pay for the standard room and the top spa suite was an extra $60.00. We both said we would go for the spa suite we didn’t really care after all that travelling and it seemed great value as they were advertised online at over $300.00.
