I've been taken on some rides, and this one bites the big one. It costs about $7 to cab it up the strip, but the sign to the monorail beckons us near the entrance of the MGM Grand.
It keeps beckoning for at least the next twenty minutes, as we get lost in jungles of slot machines, and even two tigers are sitting in a glass cage with two people. I think they paid to be there.
So we finally get it, then debate where are we going to get off. Unfortunately, we go with my choice and we end up at the Hilton I think it was. We could see our hotel in the distance, and gradually it got further away as the monorail curved its way right away from all the popular spots. The cab ride back cost us $8, for a total ride cost of $18 between two.
Who came up with the route? At least Seattle's monorail goes somewhere, but even with that, it shut down.
Stay away from this unless you know what you're doing.
