I was disappointed when I learned the monorail was not operational
during our stay since it will be convenient to several strip hotels. I'd
like to expand on Jamie's comment and suggest the hotel list be updated
to include monorail information.
The North end of the route starts at the Sahara which has a new
pedestrian bridge over Paradise Rd. connecting the casino to the
station. The south end of the route terminates at the MGM station.
Here's the link to the monorail web site including a route map showing
the casinos, http://www.lvmonorail.com/
This year I experimented and felt totally safe riding the bus on the
strip, but it was excruciatingly slow. Riding the monorail should be
inexpensive, safe, easy, fast, and solve many of the transportation
problems involved in getting to a strip hotel or nearby venue for our
group which might also be a consideration in activity planning. The
monorail is scheduled to operate from 8:00 a.m. to midnight with 6:00
a.m. to 2:00 a.m. under consideration. Travel time from the Sahara
Station to the MGM Station will be as little as 14 minutes according to
their web site..
