Re: EPT Monte Carlo
Last year the helicopter ride was paid for by Stars and it was pretty cool. I think it's 110 Euro or so and a taxi is around 80 Euro. The helicopter also takes like 5 minutes while the cab was around 30-45 I think. The best thing to do, if noone is paying for you, is to take the train for about 2 Euro. Not very baller but ya know, a penny saved.

First you have to walk to the heliport area of the airport terminal - 5 minutes Check your bags and wait until all the customers arrive and the chopper fills up - 12 minutes chopper flight - 5 minutes transfer to a van at the heliport in monte carlo - 5 minutes drop everyone else off at the Hermitage and Hotel de Paris before they drop you off at Monte Carlo Beach Resort - 10 minutes......... The total time door to door is about the same, and the limo is vastly more comfortable. Now the train sounds like an interesting possibility. Is there a stop right at the Nice airport? Jonathan

Re: EPT Monte Carlo
lol, I hate you Carl.
OK, the time was misleading for the helicopter but still, you get to ride in a helicopter over the Mediterranean and descending on Monte Carlo is cool even if it isn't right on the roof of the casino or whatever. Anyway... I don't know when I'm getting in. I'm going to be flying in from Germany and I'll probably use on of the low cost airlines that will put me in Marseille or something then catch the train from there. Unfortunately you need to take a bus from the airport to the Nice train station. I didn't do it but my mom and my friend Justin did and they both said it was really easy. I can get more info for you and shoot a PM in a few days.
