| Las Vegas Monorail
runs along a four mile route above the streets along the the
Las Vegas Strip. There are seven stations: MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris
Las Vegas, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah's/Imperial Palace,
Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas Hilton and Sahara.
Traffic along the Las Vegas Strip is painfully slow, pedestrians
can almost keep up with the line of cars. When you ride the
monorail you will speed along at up to 50 miles an hour in
air conditioned comfort.
The Las vegas Monorail
is the first driverless public monorail system in the world.
Traveling the four miles takes about 15 minutes, a considerable
time saving over driving or walking. The Las Vegas Monorail
Company is planning stages of a proposed expansion to McCarran
International Airport, which would help deliver Las Vegas
visitors from the airport to their vacation destinations.
IF you are planning on staying at one of the hotels with it's
own station the monorail is a great way to get around Vegas. |
