Why can't I find imbeciles like this?
I deserve to bleed out their bank accounts as much as the next guy.
The monorail cars are far too small to handle passengers with luggage, anyway. It's more of an automated people mover - a quick way to get from MGM as far as Harrah's in mid-Strip or Sahara in the north. The biggest problem is having to walk about 1/4 mile from the stations behind the casinos out to the Strip itself where everything of interest is. By the time you walk from the front door of Harrah's all the way through to the station, wait for the train, ride south to Bally's station and walk all the way back out to the Strip, you could have simply walked directly from Harrah's to Bally's. And back. ;)
"What kind of idiots would build a monorail in a vacation destination in the middle of the desert and not have the train go to the airport?"
I always felt the Taxi Cab owners have a fairly strong lobby in Vegas. Think what a monorail to the airport would do to their business.
