    Vegas traffic, crowds, and walking miles and miles through casinos can wear you out fast. So when…read morewe were at the LINQ, we decided to give the Las Vegas Monorail a try and rode from the LINQ station down to MGM Grand. And honestly... I really liked it! The monorail was super clean, felt safe, and was relatively inexpensive compared with some of the other transportation options around the Strip. It was also nice to hop on, relax, and let someone else do the driving while we took in the Vegas scenery. We purchased a 24-hour pass, thinking we'd get plenty of use out of it during our stay. Unfortunately, our schedule got so packed that we never had the chance to ride it again. That's probably the only downside -- we didn't get our money's worth out of that pass! Still, for getting up and down the Strip without dealing with traffic, rideshares, or a serious case of tired feet, the Monorail is a pretty convenient option. Clean, easy, safe-feeling, and a lot less walking. In Vegas, that's a win in my book!

    Now onto the 2nd to last 2 of 2010's decade of my scrapbook series representing November 2019 is…read morethe Las Vegas Monorail. The Vegas Monorail is actually pretty efficient going about 50 mph along about a 4-mile stretch of the Strip. Trains arrive frequently so you never have to wait long. It's a pretty comfortable ride and quick. In the mid 20th century, the monorail seemed like it would be the future of mass transit. Perhaps, the most well known is Disney World in Orlando built in the early 1970's. Monorails aren't really the best for mass transit. They are expensive to build. But there are rare exceptions where they can work. This is if put in high touristy area for a short distance. This is along a 4-mile stretch of the strip. But this wouldn't be good to expand the monorail to downtown Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, etc. It'd be prohibitively expensive to build many miles of track & need the land to build elevated track. Another example is in Seattle about 1 mile from Seattle Center, where the space needle & site of the 1962 World's Fair showing how the monorail was going to be the future. Goes from Seattle Center to downtown Seattle. People ride it for the convenience of getting between the 2 touristy areas and just for fun nostalgic value. As for the Vegas monorail, I had been on it a couple of times when visiting Vegas with my parents. In November 2019, my girlfriend of that time & I were there for a wedding. We rode the monorail for convenience once to efficiently travel from south to north the entire length from OYO (walking to MGM Grand where the southern most stop is) to Sahara (northernmost stop). We hung at Sahara & Strat, where another friend was staying. Then took Uber to downtown where we staying. We found the Vegas monorail to be efficient & enjoyable. It's kind of no frills and doesn't go that far, but it does the job to get you to where you want to go. Unfortunately, the Vegas monorail may be defunct in 2035 as Elon Musk's Boring Company is building tunnels all across the Vegas Valley, which will be dozens of miles of private driverless Tesla going to lots of stops underground. It'll cover a lot more land, but there are a lot of downsides too. One of which is monorail will not be needed anymore.
