The company expects to have 90 per cent of the rooms overhauled by next week. 'We create a place where you go and you kind of feel at home.' 'At the heart of what we do is we like to create a sense of community, a sense of warmth, almost like a residential feel,' Sydell CEO Andrew Zobler recently told The Associated Press. Gone are the patterned carpet and drapes, cream-colored walls and generic hotel furniture sets.

Guests are already being assigned renovated Park MGM rooms, which feature a cozy nook with a picture window and built-in settee, eclectic artwork like framed photographs and postcards, and red or green accent walls. Park MGM will retain 2,700 rooms, while about 290 rooms and suites in the existing hotel's top floors will be transformed into NoMad Las Vegas, a version of Sydell Group's New York City flagship property by the same name. Monte Carlo owner MGM Resorts International partnered with New York hotelier Sydell Group for the ongoing $450 million overhaul that will result in two hotels. The redesign is aimed at attracting younger, affluent visitors who favour modern esthetics over kitschy themes and who travel to Sin City for its countless entertainment options, not necessarily to gamble. With a robust art collection, rooms with a residential feel and an overall romantic atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the city's stereotypical glitz, the Monte Carlo is being transformed from an antiquated midlevel property taking up prime real estate on the Las Vegas Strip into the upscale Park MGM casino-hotel. Not one slot machine is within sight of the lobby at this Las Vegas casino-hotel. Steps away from the check-in desk, Pablo Picasso artwork graces a South of France-inspired restaurant. LAS VEGAS - A lifelike network of twisting tree roots emerges from the ceiling and branches out into the lobby featuring green, earthy accents, crystal chandeliers and soon, work from British Pop Art legend David Hockney.
