How far is the walk from the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas to the MGM Monorail?

I want to stay at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, but it seems like a walk to get to the Monorail station at MGM Grand. Does anyone know how far of a walk it is or if it's worth the inconvenience of staying at Excalibur? It says it's an 8 minute walk according to google maps.

We found a form of a short cut to the monorail. Instead of walking all the way through the casino to the back, once you go down the stairs by the Rainforest Cafe, go to the right around the Centrifuge Bar, once you see the casino floor, head to the right and follow along the wall un il you find Registration Area. There is a sign to the left of the exit doors in this area that reads "monorail". Go down the escalator and follow the signs to the monorail. It saved us a few minutes when walking to catch the monorail when we were heading to the Convention Center.

Exacalibur is just across the street, on the opposite corner, from MGM. I haven't made that walk, but I don't think it would be more than 8 minutes. That sounds right.

You need to cross over two pedestrian walkways that go over the streets and then have to walk though the MGM casino floor and part of the MGM shops to get the the Monorail.

It will take around 15 minutes.

Starting from the front door of the Excalibur to the spot where you'd be waiting for the monorail, I'd say 15 - 20 min, assuming you don't get lost.

We always stay at Excalibur because of their great rates and convenience to absolutely everything. 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. Have fun!

They are kitty corner from each other but you still have to walk to the monorail connection which is about 10 minutes, just outside the MGM on the southweast corner

But why the monorail, where do you plan on going because it only goes from MGM to Sahara and places in between on the east side of The Strip

As most people have said it's about 15 minutes. You've got to walk all the way through the MGM to the back to pick up the monorail. Probably better to take the Deuce along the strip depending on traffic and where you are going.

I bet i am not far out if i say it is about a mile away!!! it is tucked waaaaaaay at the back of the MGM about as far away as they could possibly put it from the strip. If you walk down tropicana and through the valet parking that is probably the quickest way and for someone with a reasonable walking pace about 8-10 mins. Try and go through the MGM casino and it will take longer because you just cant walk in a straight line!!!! Not to mention distractions!
(It's not much of asn exeggeration when people say ti takes half an hour to get fron their rooms to the strip at the MGM!!!)

I'd say that unless you are planning to go to the Hilton or convention centre ignore the monorail and as mentioned before take the deuce. It should still be fairly empty by Excalibur - it will be much cheaper too- $5 all day when went in October :)
