I thought about answering this question in the travel forum. But I haven't been to Monaco in a while (for the Grand Prix auto racing), and it is really a broader issue. Roosh addressed it
Second-Tier Cities
One of our California residents dissed the mid-Western town of Zanesville, apparently unaware that it is driving distance from a beach.
While there is a small man-made beach, Monte Carlo is definitely not a beach town. It originated as a sanctuary due to the rocky coastline. There is definitely a harbor with many luxury boats.
It isn't much larger than Zanesville or Sandusky (35K versus 25K population). There are bus tours and tons of souvenir shops. You need to pay, show I.D., and meet the dress code for the main casino. They have the same Rolls Royce parked outside every night, and shills pretending to gamble with house money. The smaller casinos are not as pretentious, but not busy either. I believe that Monte Carlo residents can't legally gamble in the casinos. So you have a logistical nightmare of picking up tourists without knowing whether they are staying in France or Italy. The local residents live there part-time for tax reasons, and are unlikely to mingle.
On top of this, hotels are expensive, Monte Carlo is a bit inaccessible, and there is not a lot to do. Young, single girls cannot afford the expensive hotels. I didn't see a nightclub scene. I don't see how to penetrate the local social circle - get a profile on MonteCarloCupid?
It would be better, easier, and cheaper to go to Cannes, a larger city like Nice, or the naked city of Cape d'Agde. They would be the local versions of Sandusky. I would take a second-tier city instead of an overhyped tourist trip like Monte Carlo any day. There are more single women, they will be more available, with less bitch shields and better logistics.

Zanesville ... no beach.
Or Sandusky Beach VS Monte Carlo?
Which is better for an "average guy with average game"?
