However …

We live here. Because we cover Las Vegas hands on, we use the monorail often. We talk to the riders that use the system. And we have some very important, essential additional tips that you don’t want to be without. Click to read all of our essential Las Vegas Monorail tips …

Newkirk’s Notes – comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:

Hello from Las Vegas! We ran into Magician Steve Wyrick shooting new scenes for his magic show outside The Aladdin on Tuesday night. (Hint: It involves a yellow Hummer). If you were on The Strip and saw what looked like a movie shoot in front of The Aladdin, that was it. After years at The Sahara (where location hurt his visibility), he’s having a great run at The Aladdin.

Monorail Is Running! – The monorail’s first day in service has been greeted by stormy skies and rain, but it isn’t dampening the enthusiasm. Las Vegas has often been called “Disneyland for adults” and now we finally have our own monorail as well!

Finally, you can get up and down The Strip without sitting in traffic while the taxi meter climbs unmercifully. We’ll have a full report with photos and streaming video very soon. In the meantime, here are some links to all the info you need:

• Official Las Vegas Monorail site – You can find out times, costs, and even purchase tickets and passes in advance.
• LAS VEGAS MONORAIL: Launch is hailed
• All Things Monorail
• Downtown Link – Bus will run from Sahara to Fremont Street
• Streaming Video Story – from local news

Hot Vegas Book – We strongly suggest picking up Vegas Confidential: Norm! Sin City’s Ace Insider 1,000 N@ked Truths, Hot Spots & Cool Stuff (Amazon link). Written by Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm! Clarke, this is the true insider’s guide.

Norm has been covering Las Vegas for a number of years, has all the inside scoops, funny stories, and is hands on in his coverage of Las Vegas. We know because we often see him at all the events we cover! He’s also an all-around great guy and Las Vegas is lucky to have him.
