Traveling the Las Vegas Strip

Visitors to the famous Las Vegas strip, drawn to the Las Vegas attractions and the Las Vegas shows that are so popular around the world and draw visitors from all over from all manner of exotic locations such as India, China and all manner of European and Asian destinations, are already familiar with the difficulties inherent in traveling up and down the extremely congested Las Vegas strip.  There are many options that exist, such as traveling in the ubiquitous double-decker bus that takes a seemingly interminable amount of time to travel from one end of the strip to the other, walking which is nearly unbearable in the Las Vegas heat of 100° and up on a regular basis and renting a scooter of some sort, which is prohibitively expensive.  All of these alternatives have their downsides, considering that a scooter can run $26 an hour to rent, walking can be fatal in the Las VegasNevada heat, and the double-decker bus takes so long to get from one end of the strip to the other that it is pointless to ride for long journeys.

On the other hand, the monorail can travel from one of the strip to the other in 15 minutes, linking the MGM Grand hotel at one end of the strip to the Sahara Las Vegas hotel and casino at the other end of the strip for the low price of five dollars.  Oddly enough, the monorail receives minimal travel by visitors to the Las Vegas area, due largely to lack of advertising and awareness of its existence.  Generally when someone mentions traveling to Las Vegas, there are very few people in the crowd who jump up and explain how exciting the prospect of riding on the monorail could be.  But just the same, the monorail is an effective and efficient way of traveling around Las Vegas quickly without having to rent expensive scooters or even more expensive taxis.  With the minimal Las Vegas transportation options and a lack of available effective and cost efficient methods of traveling from one end of the strip to the other, it would seem obvious that the monorail is the best option for the Las Vegas visitor in many cases.
