The Unprecedented MGM Grand - Bally's Monorail, Premiering Summer 1995. - billboard.

During the construction of MGM Grand hotel and theme park in Spring '93, Chairman Bob Maxey announced plans for a 1-mile monorail connecting the MGM with Bally’s resort. The line would run east of the two hotels on land they owned between Tropicana Ave & Flamingo Rd.

Monorail in Las Vegas had been proposed as far back as the 1960s, and the new effort in the 90s was seen by some as the first leg of a mass transit system. Maxey suggested the proposal would fit in with plans by Clark County officials to run a monorail loop from downtown Las Vegas along the Strip to the airport. Some suggested it might also be integrated into the county’s plans for pedestrian walkways over Tropicana Ave and Flamingo Rd.

“Monorail mania is no stranger to Las Vegas. And neither is the letdown that follows every grandiose plan unveiled and then quashed.” - Erik Pappa, Las Vegas Sun.

The MGM Grand-Bally's monorail was approved by the county commission, built for $25M. It opened June 13, 1995 with two used Mark IV monorail trains that had operated on the Walt Disney World Monorail. The original drivers, age 20-25, also work as ride operators at the MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park.

The line was later developed into the Las Vegas Monorail, connecting with Las Vegas Convention Center and north to the Sahara.

A full story of the Las Vegas Monorail up to that point is Next stop, Suckerville! by Steve Sebelius and George Knapp, Las Vegas CityLife, 9/14/2005.

The Mark IV trains were taken out of service in the early 00s, ending up crushed, as props in monster truck shows, and in a yard in Sandy Valley NV. The last piece of the Bally's train in Sandy Valley was sold to a shop in So Cal in 2023.

A leisurely boat ride not only offers a scenic journey but also provides a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

The Key to Effortless Exploration: Planning and Patience

Understanding the transportation schedules and allowing ample time for travel is crucial, especially during peak seasons.

TALLAHASSEE – Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed 37 bills, including a measure will require the state to inspect Walt Disney World’s monorail system.

The bill (HB 1305) came amid a feud between DeSantis and Disney that started last year when the company opposed a law that restricts instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.

Under the bill, the Department of Transportation, starting July 1, will be required to complete compliance reports for the monorail every three years and conduct annual onsite evaluations.

Disney and other large theme parks currently conduct their own safety inspections because of a carve-out from oversight by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Disney is the only property affected by the bill.

Thank you, Gov. DeSantis, for taking aim at a real safety issue in Florida.

I’m talking about the Disney World monorail system, of course.

Since 1971, this most heavily used monorail system in the world has delivered about 50 million people a year safely to destinations in the park. So, it’s way overdue for a screw-up.

Which is why we need to applaud DeSantis for having the foresight to step in. Because as we know, there are three serious health and welfare issues that are gripping the state, issues that require quick government action.

They are:

Getting more untrained Floridians out in public places with loaded guns.

Banning abortions to women before they realize they are pregnant.

Seizing control of the Walt Disney World monorail.

Check. Check. And check.
