Went last year. It was awesome. Not only great racing (actually Kimi ran away with it), but a tremendous rolling party everywhere. Hint: You can get cheaper hotel prices in Nice-- and Monaco is a 15 minute train ride away. They let you walk the track after the race too.

Try to get into the tunnel to watch during practice. Fastest part of the track and it HAS to sound amazing in there...

OMG, I am so jealous. If I win the Powerball, that will be one of my dream things to do. Please take a bunch of pics for us mere mortals. I hear the women start at the Halle Berry level then go up from there.

Been there twice. One of the few events you have a choice of tickets in different grandstand areas on different days (a major benefit for me). The end of the tunnel is my favorite by a considerable amount. For that area, you walk to the end of the port on the opposite side and take a boat ride across the port entrance to get there. Awesome view of the city and fantastic experience just to get to these seats.
Monoco is so small, you can practically walk the whole area and see all.
If your vacation is long enough, visiting Nice at the beach areas is well worth the effort.
