Confronted with this rather desperate plea from Monte Carlo, a colleague asks, “One of the stranger press releases in a while — the best they can find to up-sell the MC is to pitch it as a way to get to CityCenter and Bellagio?”
It also makes me wonder if, MGM Mirage pronouncements to the contrary, if the company has really stopped stovepiping its Strip properties. Old habits die hard and when you’re trying to prop up occupancy rates at Aria, it’s a heckuva time for Monte Carlo to put out the message, “Stay next door, where it’s cheaper!” (Certainly, if you’re looking to dine well — but affordably — “Monte” has it all over CityCenter.)
