The monorail is a nice trip if you want to go from the Hilton to Ballys but that is it. If you are going striking, It doesn't take you to the right places. It doesn't go to Sams Town, Palms, Hard Rock, Gold Coast, NYNY or Downtown. You will still have to get in from the airport.I would rent a car and learn how to use the back entrances. You will be happier in the long run.
