Its the fastest way to get from the LVCC to the strip, most of all during the CES Show.

I dont get why the LVCC group would buy it only to tear it down. It doesn’t compete with the Musk Tunnel as it goes to different places / casinos ??

Its expensive for what people associate as public transit, people expect rides in the $2-3 range. A lift is only $10-15 to get up and down most of the stops on the monorail, share that with friends and its the better deal. Monorail only is a value if your trying to get to the convention center from one of its hotel stops or going to the Sahara. Even then the conventions typically have free busses so why pay for the monorail? Either your cheap enough where you expect it to be free-$3 or rich enough where you will just take a cab.

Having said that I used to use it for CES when I would stay at the Sahara which was super convenient. I hope they make it free to use for conventions which will help reduce the need for bussing.

A 1 day pass is only $13. A 1 trip pass is $5.
If you think this is expensive, then maybe Vegas is not for you.

But for the record, I take the train from Midway or O’Haire everytime I’m in Chicago. So it would be nice for the airport.

Why would anyone want to take that thing?

I suspect that the ridership never rose over the Nile River Ride at the Luxor.

People complain about how far it is from some monorail stations to get to a casino. Have you tried weaving your way through the masses walking and gawking along LV Blvd? The Monorail through the years has been great. Going to the airport was never going to happen but a loop on both sides of the strip or an extension that went downtown would have been awesome. Sounds like pretty soon the Monorail will RIP but I hope it is still up and running when I’m there in Nov.

Given the route as it now has, the convention center is the only real use. It is so far to any station from the actual strip, it is really not much farther to walk to wherever you are going. Taxi stands are very convenient, and many folks are in Vegas to gamble and party, as such, after sticking $50 in a slot 30 seconds previously, the cost of a taxi ride is usually not noticed. Of course the “I don’t gamble crowd” will certainly notice.
I agree that the airport is probably not going to be a great add-on. With the scenario mentioned by Jackson, where the hotels would shuttle your luggage to their facility I would participate for arrival, but most of the time our flight home is early morning and that would not work…..so that is a one way solution at best. A downtown route would be great and I would utilize that for sure. We go to Vegas twice a year or so, but had not been downtown in 7 or 8 years, until last year. A reasonably place tram station would change that.
As for those saying it is 1990’s technology and out of date, I don’t get that……it is clean, looks safe enough, goes from one point to another…..other than the points are not a real place of interest to most, it’s ok. After all aren’t cars basically1920 technology?

CES was the primary time I would ride the monorail. Given traffic around Sands and the Convention Center, buses end up being a slow way to get from the strip to the convention center.
