Monte Carlo Is A Town

I changed this page because the districts in Monaco are officialy counted as seperate towns. 3 April 2005

I'm sorry, but this is impossible : Monte Carlo is not a town, it is only a small (but famous) part of Monaco. Monaco is :

  1. A country.
  2. A town.
  3. A capital.

(yes, all in one). Iznogoud 13:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you are wrong as far as I was aware, Monaco was divided into several very small districts. Monte Carlo being one of them. It looks like your outnumbered. Mac Domhnaill 02:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Being outnumbered is irrelevant. Does either of you have a source to cite? — Dan | talk 02:56, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is It Monte Carlo or Monte-Carlo?

Is it spelled with a hyphen or without? 3 April 2005

The spelling in French (the official language of Monaco) is Monte-Carlo. You will find this spelling in all major French dictionaries and encyclopaedias line Le Larousse or Le Robert as well as on the webpages of the government of Monaco (http://www.gouv.mc/). --thomasgraz 07:36, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Capital of Monaco

Actually I think the capital of Monaco is MONACOVILLE

No, sorry (see above).

Casino was not inspiration for Bond film

The Casion in Monaco wasn't the inspiration for the casino gambling scene and title for the Ian Fleming novel of "Casino Royale". This honour belongs to the Casino Estoril near Lisbon, Portugal. Ian Fleming famously visited the casino in Estoril. Source: Tourist Office Estoril. I'll delete the wrong sentence. Olagorie 15:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forbidden Gaming Rooms?

The citizens of Monaco are exempt from taxes, and they are forbidden to enter the gaming rooms. What exactly is meant by the end of this sentence? Only tourists and not citizens are permitted to enter the gaming rooms...? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.155.46.6 (talk) 14:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Monte Carle

Can somebody expand info on Monte Carle as another reference to Monte Carlo. It almost sounds as though it has an adjectival use. Google brings up many many instances of Monte Carle. I first came across it [1] in the title of a song by [Fred Gilbert] 'The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carle'. Sung by Charles Coburn it becomes 'The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo'. And what might Monte Carle Simulations be? Brenont 18:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If "Monte Carle" is in usage anywhere it is probably in one of the, often obscure, dialects of the Mediterranean, where things tend to be written as pronounced. Giano 20:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Population

The article says that the population of Monte Carlo is around 30,000. However, the Monaco article states that the population of the entire country is only 32,000. What gives?

Biscuits

Monte Carlos are also a sort of biscuit, you guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.210.160 (talk) 08:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why...?

...are the citizens of Monaco prohibited from entering the game rooms? Jachra 18:04, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Monte Carlo method

I added a disambiguation link to the Monte Carlo method: it is highly notable in the fields of scientific computation and financial modeling, and is often described simply as "Monte Carlo". E.g. "The weather forecast was made using Monte Carlo," etc. Please discuss here if you disagree. Mtford 22:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
