Monorail...
That%26#39;s a pretty general question, but here%26#39;s some info to get you started:

I think it is a waste of money and time unless you are going from a south casino (MGM, Bally%26#39;s) to the Hilton, convention center or the Sahara. The stations are set way back from the strip- it is a hike getting to some of them. By the time you get from the strip to a station and then from the station to the strip- you might as well have walked it.
I am a fan of the monorail system. I usually stay at the Flamingo which has a momorail stop. I generally buy a one day pass and use it several times that day thus getting a good value for the money spent. I don%26#39;t buy 2 ride passes because with two or three travelers, it usually is less expensive to split a taxi fare than for each of us to buy a ticket. Hope this helps.
I have ridden the monorail during my last 3 trips - as others have noted, if you are staying at a property that has a stop connected in the back, the monorail is a fine way to get down that side of the strip. For instance we stayed at MGM and when we would go down to Mirage or TI - we would use the Harrahs stop and it worked well for us - beyond that, walking all the way to the monorail stations and then walking through the properties is not always the cheapest or most efficient way to get around the strip!
We are staying at the Flamingo the week of 6/28 and it is hotter than the blazes and we were looking for an alternative. Is it pretty safe? Any of you know where they have stops right at the hotel???
I used the monorail my last trip about two years ago and will when I go mid May. We are staying at the Hilton so it%26#39;s perfect to get to the main areas along the strip. The bus is OK but traffic is crazy later on and we would rather take the monorail.
It%26#39;s safe.
If you use the interactive map on the link provided above, it will give you a perfect picture of the route and stations - which are at the rear of hotels. Enjoy.
from now on I will take the monorail over the Deuce, hands down. fast, comfy and worth the extra $2! no-branier.
