Monorail - This is one of the more recent options made available to Las Vegas visitors. There used to be free shuttle trains that ran between certain hotels — like the Bally’s-MGM line — but these have been replaced by the monorail which runs from MGM Grand to Sahara Hotel. In the future, they plan to expand the line to reach McCarran International Airport. The Las Vegas Monorail is reasonably convenient, but it’s not great for folks on the West side of Las Vegas Boulevard (Caesars Palace, Bellagio, Monte Carlo, Treasure Island, etc.). It can also get quite pricey, because single ride tickets are $5 regardless of the length of your ride. You’re better off with the one-day pass ($15 regular, on special for $9), which lasts for a full 24 hours from time of first use. Just be wary of broken monorails and lack of refunds. [...] [...] 2.
