Please don't do it!
I think riding the monorail within the next year is almost equivalent to being a crash test dummy.
There have been so many problems I suggest you wait, and wait some more.

Here's a link to the monorail website -
http://www.lvmonorail.com/about_01_n....asp?newsID=29
If you like they will e-mail you if/when it's up and running. I don't expect it to be any time soon and also agree that riding it for the first year or so could be at your own risk.

Oh, too bad. I actually was there the week it opened. I was at a conference and staying at the Hilton, and it certainly made getting back and forth to the strip very easy.

If you are a Vegas visitor who likes exercise, the walk between the Monte Carlo and the Convention Center is exactly three miles -- a bit more than one hour at a fast clip. Avoid the Wynn construction zone, where the sidewalk on the east side of The Strip is closed.

Was reading somewhere (possibly the Review-Journal) that they still haven't figured out what happened - and until they do, the monorail is out of commission. They've lost (based on projected revenue of $85,000 per day) $5,000,000 since the September shutdown (I was in Vegas when it happened - and had missed riding the monorail by that much). Earliest return to service is projected as January 2005 (if then).
