The Monte Carlo is no more. The 22-year-old Strip resort today was renamed the Park MGM. The transformation, which is ongoing, began with the opening of the Park Theater in December 2016 and has been undertaken while the property remains open.

“Today is one of the many milestones in the transformation,” said Patrick Miller, the property’s president and chief operating officer. “The first milestone was Park Theater at the end of 2016. Today’s milestone just marks the name change and, really, there’s no Monte Carlo components left. All the guest rooms are under Park MGM rooms. The casino is Park MGM, and we’ve got several great restaurants.”

MGM Resorts International Chief Executive Officer Jim Murren said earlier this month that the company has never carried out such a large renovation while a resort remained open. Miller credited employees for staying upbeat and motivated and guests for being understanding.
