The Monte Carlo resort on the Las Vegas Strip recently opened a new boutique hotel called Hotel32 on its top floor, which was destroyed by a fire in January 2008. Rather than simply restore the floor’s original rooms, Monte Carlo executives decided to completely redesign the space, upgrading the rooms from standard Strip hotel fare to luxury spaces. “After the fire, we had an opportunity to take a step back and re-evaluate what
we had,” Monte Carlo President Anton Nikodemus told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Our goal was to create a product that was luxurious, engaging and inviting, but also unpretentious.”
