Did you also know it's spelled "Monaco"?
And which is the MOST famous?

• Paris
• Fairmont
• Columbus

Isn't it the Casino Hotel? - site of a famous stretch of the Grand Prix course.

And I've got all the letters so far, but still not got the title!

Psst: It's 'Monaco'. I didn't know there were an especially famous hotel there though

Believe it or not, my spelling is worse than my geography. And I can't spell to save my life.

I immediately thought of the Monte Carlo... considering I have stayed in that Hotel in Vegas I guess.

Maybe the hint was most famous Casino in Monaco?

Sounds more likely, actually. The casino in Monte Carlo is definitely famous.

I was at the most famous casino in Monaco in May of this year but I don't remember what the name of it was. Five different cities in one week it's hard to remember everything you have seen.

There is also a hotel Monte Carlo in Monaco (might even have a casino)...

This is a "reality" show about couples that race around the world. Sometimes they are given clues to figure out where to go next

They were in Las Vegas and the clue was something like, "Go to the place named for the most famous hotel in Monoco". I immediately knew what it was.

I have been in Monaco and can't remember the name of the most famous hotel here either. The casino is very well known though.

Were they allowed to use Google ? I would rather rely on it than on a random cab driver

Well speaking for myself here, it would be just like me to get all the letters and still not be able to work out the book title! Seems like the things that should be glaringly, staring-you-smack-in-the-face obvious are always the things that well and truly stump me!

I mean I've found all the letters so far and yet completely clueless as to what it is! So guess I may well fall at the very last hurdle.

I hope we can get more clues about the book title, I still can't figure out which is the title.

As a matter of fact they were disassembling the stands when I was there in May. Apparently the race occurred in the middle of April. Very impressive...

Don't worry about the title, if you obtain all the letters you will easily be able to figure out the book title.

But Monte Carlo is Monaco (it is a part of the big city that Monaco is), I don't think there's much difference between "Go to Monaco" and "Go to Monte Carlo", so that clue would seem silly to me.

I usually think of Monaco as the state and Monte Carlo as the city of that state - even if Monaco is all covered by city (as far as I remember).

but fun.

"Bond, James Bond" ... The Casino Royale.....

Spent a chunk of today searching for the letter, gave up and did some work. Had a quick glance in the same section just now... and found it

My title guess is still holding strong, too

[PKFFW]

I found it pretty easily this time. And my guess is still standing.

I think most people will figure the title out pretty quick once they have all the letters, even if they have no clue now.
