I haven't been down to TJ in quite a while but I don't think The Monte Carlo has been in business for a long time. I used to go and yes, it was quite good. I visited several times and had a regular there who was fine in all respects.

I haven't been to Monte Carlo is a while.  As dawctor posted, it has a good reputation. I got above average service there.  

Once upon a time it was considered one of the upscale places.  But I think Executive Real and Luxor have surpassed it in that area.  

Beds are/were available for a extra fee.  I prefer a bed to a table.
