The Las Vegas Monorail is another unique attraction in Las Vegas and carries more than 4.5 million passengers annually. The monorail system connects the heart of THE STRIP, from the MGM Grand in the south to the SLS in the North. The route runs east of, and parallel to, the Las Vegas Strip. Monorail trains reach speeds up to 50 miles per hour, covering the four-mile route in approximately 14 minutes.
It probably does take about 10-15 minutes to walk to the monorail station at MGM, but it is a scenic walk. You don't even realize the time goes by because you are looking at everything in the casino. We go from Excalibur across the walkway to NY NY, and then over to MGM. Honestly a 10 minute walk in Vegas is absolutely nothing! You will find yourself walking for hours at a time. It takes a good 10 or 15 minutes just to walk from Excalibur to Walgreens. I did that on a couple of late night trips to buy cigarettes. It is definitely worth staying at Excalibur-because the monorail is really not that far.
