If Vegas gets an NHL team I can't wait to start booking weekend trips down there.

It is sketchy. I can't stress that enough. My wife and I walked to the monorail which is nearby. As we were walking there, she commented "we're taking a taxi back". There wasn't a question in my mind.
On one cab ride to/from the hotel there was police tape across one of the housing units next to the hotel.

The internet at work sucks and it takes forever for Facebook to load pictures, if I think of it when I get home I'll post pictures from the cab rides that I took.
Stay on the strip of just off the strip, Stratosphere is considered one of the hotels on the strip but it really isn't. In my opinion Wynn is the furthest up the strip and Mandalay Bay furthest down the strip, however closer to the middle is best, especially if travelling with the misses.
