Saving money on transportation in Las Vegas has gotten a lot easier with the addition of the Las Vegas Monorail. This relatively new monorail connects a lot of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Not only is the Las Vegas Monorail helpful in terms of saving money, it is also quick, safe and very convenient.

Compared to renting a car or even taking a taxi, the prices of the Las Vegas Monorail simply cannot be beat. For a single ride, the current price is five dollars. If you buy two rides at the same time, the price is nine dollars. Passes are also available for six rides and there are also rates for a whole day's use of the monorail.

If you try to drive on the Las Vegas Strip, you will soon be overwhelmed by the amount of traffic. Even late at night and other non-peak hours, the Las Vegas Strip is usually packed with cars.

You also won't have to deal with traffic. In fact, you can get from one end of the Las Vegas Strip to the other in about 15 minutes using the monorail.
