Guess I missed or forgot about the monorail information on the activity
map.
Seems to me that taking the train is lots easier than a cab since you
don't have to interact with anyone to pay, get on, and get off. I
remember my first Las Vegas solo cab ride, something I've done only
occasionally in my whole life; remember I live in the rural south. I
gave the cab driver a note with my destination printed on it. He studied
it and in broken English said, "Read please!" I read the address to him
and he responded by asking me how to get there. Now I really have a
problem, I'm in a cab with a driver who speaks very little English, we
are both lost in a city I know nothing about, and since I was depending
on the driver I don't have a map! So much for my plans to travel
inconspicuous and avoid the stress of finding places in a new city!
At least the bus driver knows the way and a train has to go where the
tracks take it. Mass transit only requires taking the correct route. To
find the correct route you can call on the phone or inquire at the
hotel's concierge desk, or what passes for the concierge desk at hotels
like the Sahara!
The good thing about my first solo cab ride was that I survived and
since then they have all been easy......and I always carry my AAA map
with me just in case!
