But oh, for you to have written it in 2005, when my mom and I did a Jewish genealogy conference weekend at the Tropicana...in July. You're jealous, and I get that. But truly, you haven't lived (or died) until you've walked the entire strip from end to end in 120 degree heat. Coincidentally, I just learned about the Vegas monorail yesterday from an episode of "Stephen Fry in America," and it had seemed like a brilliant idea. (Accent on the "seemed".) Thanks for saving me future time, money and fainting spells. Thank you for this rundown!

I would think that being a main tourist city, the public transportation will be readily available. Guess they put all the money to the hotel. Love your review of each type of public transportation.

Saw it on Twitter. I LOATHE the transportation system in Vegas. Totally agree with you about the cabs, the bus and the Monorail. They have the best hotels in the world and the WORST transportation system. Pretty sure it's all a scam!!! I'm a new fan of your blog. LOVED this. Saw it on Twitter.

It is for these reasons, and a few others, that we drive to Las Vegas from Scottsdale, AZ. We put in a wonderful audio book, set the cruise on 75 (max speed in AZ), and relax our way to Vegas while enjoying a good novel. I am enjoying your blog. I understand your pain.
