    I've played a lot of baccarats at a lot of different place over the year but my all times favorite joint was the old Monte Carlo in the Las Vegas. The re-name and re-model the place but it'll always be the Monte Carlo to me. It wasn't a swanky joint like Cosmo or the Palace, and didn't have a hip poll scene or nothing. But the rooms were decent size and clean, and they had an under-rated steak house that offered decent cuts of beef at reasonable price. But, the best thing about the joint was the baccarats that they had on offer. They always had 4-5-6 full tables goin with sweet spread and limit of 25$-25ks. Better still they would give a cat as many free hand as he wanted. And to top it all the drinks service was top notch. years ago I would make to the Las Vegas once a month, so I was a well know cat. The cocktail server girlys at Monte Carlo were very attractive and attentive. So, as soon as they saw me sit down for 10-12-15 hours baccrarats session they would plunk down a pint of Guinness without me even having to ask for one. I would always tip 3 or 4 white chip and those girls would bring me a fresh pint before I'd even finished the one I was workin on! Yup, I really do miss that joint, hey hey!

    You’re talking about before they remodeled it? I loved it too. Still go back there but it isn’t the same.

    It’s still called Monte Carlo. But it has that Cosmopolitan, Wynn, etc feel to it. It’s not like the old LV joints that were a little run down. But hey I still go there.
