Rising From the Ashes
After a fire destroyed the top floors of the Monte Carlo in January 2008, property executives decided to take advantage of the opportunity to redesign, rather than restore, the rooms.
After a fire destroyed the top floors of the Monte Carlo in January 2008, property executives decided to take advantage of the opportunity to redesign, rather than restore, the rooms. And in August, the property unveiled Hotel32, a boutique hotel within a hotel concept similar to the Go! rooms at the Flamingo.
Located on the 32nd floor of the property—hence the name—Hotel32 offers an upscale, luxury experience in rooms that range from 400-square-foot studios to 2,000-square-foot penthouse suites.
The rooms feature a host of technological accoutrements, including Blu-ray players, HD television sets, iPod docking stations and even an iPod touch in every room. The iPod touch serves as a means for guests to make reservations, purchase show tickets or schedule a spa session.
To enhance the boutique feel, Hotel32 will have private check-in facilities as well as an elevator and restaurant dedicated solely to the property’s guests.
