monorail

Hi all you Vegas lovers! We will take our virgin trip in Sept. (I have learned so much from this site you guys are great.)

What has been your experience with monorail system? Should we use it or bypass?

monorail

Just got back from a great trip July 28-Aug 1. Bought a day pass and it was very convenient. Able to use it all day and go from one end of the strip to another. Only 10 bucks

It is worth it !!

It%26#39;s definitely worth it if you%26#39;re traveling from the Convention Center area to the Strip (or vice versa).

However, I don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s worth it if you%26#39;re just traveling within the Strip itself. The monorail stations are located at the back (east) end of properties on the east side of the Strip. It%26#39;s a long walk just to get back there ... and then another long walk from the destination station back out onto the Strip. It%26#39;s often quicker to just walk or (in non-peak hours) drive.

Even if you don%26#39;t really need to ride it you should just to say you rode the only public monorail in the US.

it depends on where you are staying and where you are going.

if you were going to stay at the sahara and spend alot of time center or south strip it would be worth it, but otherwise it takes as much walking to get back and forth from the monorail as it would to get to where your going

yeah forgot to mention we are staying at Luxor

If you are going to see star trek the experience, the monorail will work out great for you. There is a walkway or you can take the shuttle from the luxor to the excalibur, and from there you can cross over to the tropicana then to the MGM. Unfortunately the Mgm monorail station is located in a maze of cheesy shops in the back of the casino, but the monorail will drop you off at the entrance of the attraction at the las vegas hilton. If you aren%26#39;t going to the las vegas hilton it may not be worth your while, staying at the Luxor.

We stayed at NYNY and used the monorail to get up and down the strip for 3 days (3 day unlimited pass--$25). Well worth it, especially with business at the Convention Center, Star Trek Experience at the Hilton and Amazing Johnathan at the Sahara.

The only hassle was the monster hike through MGM to get to a station.

Also used it to get to Ballys and Harrahs. Sure we could have walked, but since it was air conditioned, it beat the heck out of hoofing it on the strip.

Just got back from Vegas and used Monorail for one day and it was worth it. Yes the walks to the stations were long, but really got our moneys worth traveling up and down that side of the strip.

Thanks for the info. We do plan to do the Star Trek experience at the Hilton
