Is LV Monorail worth it?

I would only recommend using the monorail if you are actually staying in a hotel directly connected to a stop. It is a good value and efficient in its own way, but the stations are not easily accessed from the Strip itself and even from the casinos they are connected to. Lots of walking just to find the station.
