I like the Las Vegas monorail. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy unexcelled views of the Strip both day and night. The staff are great too.
So why is the route carefully gerrymandered so you can't see it from the Strip? There are crowds of people on the sidewalk for miles who might be tempted to ride a monorail that ran down the center of the street. But no - they can't see the monorail unless they already know were it runs. Small wonder there are few people riding it.
