Thanks to Karl for the following end-to-end look at the stations.
As we have before, we'll follow the guideway from one end to the
other, but this time we'll focus mostly on the nearly-completed
stations. At the south end of the 4-mile monorail is the new switch
back platform.
The MGM Station now has walls for the automated door system that
every station will have.
The track to the left is new, it leads to the switch back platform.
The Bally's Station is also undergoing a major transformation
with the addition of automated doors and a new elevator. The new
track starts at the far end of the station and it slices through
part of the Bally's Resort building.
Bally's Station affords a nice view of their pool.
It's brand new, but the Flamingo Hilton Station is already surrounded
by palm trees and greenery.
Flamingo Hilton Station is one of two that are squeezed into an
alley behind the Strip hotel corridor.
A tiny bit to the north is the Harrah's/Imperial Palace Station.

distance. The silvery building in the background is Bally's.
