I usually walk the strip for exercise and if I don't want to walk back, hop on the monorail so I don't mind the walking to get to a station. The original intent of the monorail, I believe, was to connect the strip to the convention center and alleviate some of the taxi and traffic congestion. The monorail does drop you off right at the LVCC. However, it is not convenient to use it as a mode of transportation if all you want to do is get around on the strip.
