On our trip a couple weeks ago, we happened to find ourselves at the Monte Carlo Café around 3 in the morning for consecutive days. After our late-night meal, we faced the tortuous walk all the way back to the Bellagio. Even though the 2 properties are technically next door to each other, there is the little matter of the giant Project CityCenter construction site in between. Which at 3:30 in the morning makes the walk almost unbearable.2 years ago, however, this wouldn’t have been a problem. There used to be a tram that ran between the two hotels that saved both time and valuable footsteps. I personally must have ridden the tram at least 20 times. Why, oh why, MGM-Mirage, could you not have found a temporary solution? I’m sure CityCenter will be a fantastic property, but think of all of the revelers that have to trudge the seemingly short (optical illusion) distance, not to mention those of us who have walked all the way to the back of the properties only to groan in disbelief to find the tram shut down.
Progress: But at what cost?
MGM states that there will be a people mover system built into Project City Center, but until then, bring your walking shoes…
