This is never a good idea unless you're staying at one of the hotels/resorts directly connected to the monorail, and plan to travel only to the casinos attached to the monorail. Often times, the amount of walking you'll end up having to do is nearly the same amount as actually stepping out the door and walking up/down the strip. Also, $5 per ride, or even $30 for a 3-day pass.. silly. \n\nIf you're traveling on a budget, do your feet a favor and take the Deuce. It's $15 for a 3-day pass and you'll get on/off a few steps away from the entrance of whichever hotel/casino you're heading to/from.\n\nOr if you've got buddies, take the damn cab.
