The Monorail rocks. $12 for 24 hours of monorailing. Goes from MGM to past the Hilton in about 20 minutes I think.

People actually ride the monorail? We took it once from Bally's to the Hilton and back but that required a 1/2 mile walk on the Bally's end through the bowels of that hotel. It is conveniently located for the Hilton (right off the main casino) but we always look at the route and end up taking a taxi instead.

We did last August. It's pretty easy to get to in the MGM from the room and where we were. It let us out where we wanted to be at Harrah's. Paris and Bally's require a hike. In August the hike through the casino isn't as bad as the walk up the strip with the heat radiating off the asphalt.

We rode it all three days I was there. Not packed in like sardines, but certainly enough people on it.

Not a big Vegas fan either. Spamalot was fun (though someone in this thread said it is no more). The steak place in the Wynn is fantastic. And I also concur that the buffet at Paris is grand.
