Is a monorail a "train?" Don't know, don't care, it was fun. I bought a $15, 24 hour pass. I probably didn't need it but managed to use it three times which means I broke even on $5 one trip fares. The system is only 4 miles long, with plans to expand depending mostly on politics. Other than the convention center, the stops are all at major hotel/casinos. It seems the casinos make the most of the reported $20 they each invested to get a station at their location by making it difficult to find your way past the hotel and routing you directly through the gaming floor to get to the main Las Vegas strip. There were some initial start up problems and the "rail" itself, which seemed to be a concrete beam, seemed to give a fairly rough ride. I read that early problems included stuff falling to the ground though I don't know if it was from the rail or the cars.
