Above is a photo of the terminal screen for the Las Vegas Monorail ticketing kiosk. The monorail runs the length of the strip, behind the casinos, and I heartily recommend it as a way to get around. If you look at the right hand column of selections closely, you will notice something odd about the fee structure. Granted, Las Vegas did not get where it is today by attracting visitors who are good at math. Still, how many of those yard-long frozen daiquiri beakers does it take for someone not to notice that, for the price of one 3-day pass, a person could get three 1-day passes and a yard-long beaker of banana daiquiri?

We believe it all right, but is it OK if I pass on the daiquiri?
