  • I am amazed that the Brew Pub has received such high ratings! While the food was decent, I found the service terrible, particularly for such a wonderful hotel. My first experience was an early dinner. I waited 10 minutes to be asked for a drink order. The drinks came promptly, but I waited another 5 (after deciding what to eat and putting my menu down) for someone to take my food order. The appetizer arrived 25 minutes later. The entree arrived about 1 minute after that. The server offered no apologies until I mentioned the poor timing and then he said, "Sorry, we're very busy". Which, obviously, they were not. It was about 5:15pm, and the dining room was less than half full. Anyhow, the food wasn't terrible, but the meal was spoiled because of the poor service. I decided to give it another try, thinking that the brews might be a redeeming factor. The next night, I was ignored by a bartender who was spending his time wathcing a game. When he came around, I asked for the brew sampler, which he swore was the best value. The beers all sucked. Horrible. I couldn't believe it. And I love beer! The Monte Carlo is one of my favorite places to stay because of it's elegance and lack of Vegas tackiness. It's a small hotel, and I usually feel as though I'm treated well there. However, I doubt I will give the Brw Pub another shot.
