One of the most important things to arise from the boom of Vegas over the last decade, the Monorail offers folks in the area to get from point A to B for less than the average taxi fare. Its pretty, sleek, and undoubtedly modern. The seats are comfortable and the air conditioning is not too overwhelming but feels great when escaping the hot desert heat.
Unfortunately, it doesn't take you to every location on the strip, just a select few. The rides are costly, much like everything else in Vegas (especially transportation) and its not even operated for 24 hours. However, when considering the lesser of two evils and avoiding traffic then this is one of the ways to do it. However, walking is another way of avoiding the hassle because at least thats free and good for exercise.
