This is a review for the Las Vegas Monorail.
The reality of the situation is the monorail is pretty much a bust. Highly inconvenient and expensive, it would have been better to have been an underground system or maybe even something that ran down the center of the strip however the traffic backlog from building that and destruction of the views are msot likely why that never happened in the first place.
The monorail is significantly off the strip and behind the hotels. While this seems Good in theory, it makes for a tortuously long walk through confusing casinos to access it. From NYNY casino we had to cross the street and walk all the way through MGM Grand and up a series of escalators to get onto the system. The trains are clean and well kept and run efficiently from a timing stand point. But to get to the Venetian you have to get off at the station behind Harrahs where we proceeded to get lost and then walk out the front and out onto the strip. Signage is pretty poor and since it does not run all the way to the convention center or the airport (due to the taxi drivers) it is highly inconvenient. You will save money taking it instead of a cab, but it wont save you much time.
