L.A. Times Vegas Monorail Article
I've been on the Vegas monorail a number of times. It's no Disneyland - a surprisingly rough ride. Also, it's pretty slow, though there is one long straightaway by a golf course where it opens up; the higher speed on that section seems to smooth out the ride. Still, it beats walking the Strip in 115-degree heat, or sitting in traffic on the Strip for hours to go 6 miles. The article doesn't mention that the reason the original opening was delayed was software glitches in the automated control system; the parts falling off came later.
