The Monte Carlo was built as a joint venture between Mirage Resorts and Circus Circus Enterprises. When the resort opened on June 21, 1996, its aim was to attract "middle-income tourists eager to sample European elegance at budget prices". The resort sits on 44 acres and cost $344,000,000 to build.
