	Las Vegas Monorail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The present monorail (Phase 1 of the overall project) begins at the MGM Grand Hotel near the south end of The Strip, and runs roughly parallel to the Strip on its eastern side.
		The monorail passes next to the Las Vegas Hilton and the Convention Center, both with stations, before ending at the Sahara hotel at the north end of the Strip.
		The Las Vegas Monorail project was built upon an existing free monorail that ran between the MGM Grand and Bally's, closing a long gap in the strip that tourists usually had to endure on foot.

		Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, notoriously fickle, was immediately smitten: "The future well-being of Las Vegas and the heart and soul of the city is dependent on this kind of transportation," he declared.
		The monorail did go through the process, but questions have been raised as to how normal it was: The tax exemptions were granted in private; the decision was never publicly announced and the monorail itself didn't disclose the fact, which might have been of interest to investors.
		In 2004, monorail executives and state tax officials denied knowing anything about the rebate request, although memos obtained by CityLife from the state show the request was made in writing in March 2003 and was faxed to the state from the offices of the Las Vegas Monorail.

		This monorail runs between the rears of the hotels across some parking lots, but the stations are well-appointed, enclosed, fully accessible, and air conditioned.

		Navigate the Las Vegas Strip with the help of three monorails that run between Sahara and the MGM Grand, Treasure Island and the Mirage, and Excalibur and Mandalay Bay (with a stop at the Luxor).
		Rates for the monorail are $5 for one ride, $9 for two rides (shareable), $35 for 10 rides (shareable) and $15 for an unlimited one-day pass and $40 for an unlimited three-day pass.
		Small platforms and a lack of any attendants at the Mandalay Bay end mean you may have to scramble to a car when traffic is heavy, but even a holiday weekend crowd can be accommodated once the initial rush for a seat dies down.
