The monorail is a great way to get around restaurants, stores & casinos near "the strip." We stayed at the Westgate Resort & Casino. The monorail stops at several casinos. Every hotel has a map of the shops and casinos. You can also see the name of each business at each Monorail stop. A one way ticket was $5.50. We bought the all day pass for $15. You have unlimited rides for 24 hrs from the time of purchase. The expiration is printed on the ticket. There are three day and weekly passes also available. If you are traveling with someone from Nevada, they can purchase 20 one way tickets for $1.00 each. The monorail stops at 2am. There are elevators and ramps at each stop. If you are in a wheelchair or scooter, the ride feels extra bumpy. read more

GETTING HERE: We accessed the monorail entrance near the FLAMINGO and LINQ resorts. REVIEW: It reminds me of Disneyland :-) and it was a smooth transition. We accessed our tickets right outside at the kiosks and went through the machines got on the monorail. Went down to various station stops and spent the day out and about. I feel about the monorail is much more convenient than any other modes of transport in Vegas. I would recommend buying the day-pass as it might be a better option if you'll be out for the day. read more

Located on the strip from MGM Grand to the Sahara and back. They do multiple stops between. I caught it from the Horseshoe station and took it to Sahara it was good and well worth the 5 something I paid it was quick and convenient if you know where you want to go along that stretch you can actually go to a lot of the hotel/Casinos with a little walk after, overall a good experience and I would use it again if I need to go anywhere from MGM Grand and Sahara. read more

We were in town for the weekend and had already walked 11 miles by the time we found the monorail we chose the day pass and used it 3 times. I'm sure once you get used to it this is an easy mode of transportation if your not an avid walker, we were unsure of the area being the first day so sometimes walked out of the way to try to find it. By our first nights end we walked 18 miles. The next day we didn't use the monorail as most of what we were attending wasn't crazy far from our hotel but we still managed to walk 14 miles. Monorails seems to run frequently, so the longest we waited was maybe 15-20 mins read more

Las Vegas Monorail - Monorail stops May 2026 - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Las Vegas Monorail is a great way to get around Las Vegas Blvd. I wish I knew about it the first times I went to Vegas, because it definitely saved me from walking a lot. I bought my day passes online. For large parties that are not Las Vegas residence, the cost adds up. Theres many stops along the way, and I practically visited all the south-end stops such as MGM Grand, Horseshoe, Flamingo, Harahs. Do note that there's still a lot of walking to get to the hotels main area from the stations. The best part about the Monorail is the view at night. It passes by the LINQ Ferris wheel and the sphere. Overall, I think the monorail is a great way to get around Las Vegas Blvd. I'll definitely use it in the future. read more

Las Vegas Monorail - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Locals get $1 per ride. I got my 20' ride pass for $20. Free parking at Sahara and east access to the strip make this and MGM my go to spots for getting on the tram. Bonus because you can grab coffee or pizza slice before heading up. For those coming from other hotels- Sahara is beautiful and eating at Balla is the way to go. (James beard winning chef) Although not ideal in every situation, I've grown to like the monorail. read more

Easy to use, purchased our virtual tickets online and saved a few bucks. The stations are located within walking distance to many popular spots. We didn't want to have to keep paying for parking so we took the monorail all day. It worked out well. Very easy system to use since it doesnt go too far and operates every 8 minutes. read more

Las Vegas Monorail - Waiting for southbound monorail - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

If you know your way around Vegas don't want to pay for Uber/Lyft or and don't want to walk far distances the LV Monorail can be your friend.....operating hours are great...please always look them up online ....it doesn't run 24 hours! I used it a few times now to get from the convention center back to the hotels on the main strip....it's affordable especially if you plan to take multiple trips in a day on it....It isn't convenient for all hotels but it can still get you to the ones on the strip but best for the ones on the East Side of the strip more since when you exit you'll have to cross over to the West side of the Las Vegas Blvd Strip where Cosmo, Caesars, Bellagio and others are.... During heavy conventions like CES there definitely will be more people waiting..... read more

Las Vegas Monorail - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Took the monorail for the first time on the recent trip to Vegas because we could not get a ride share car after the back street boys concert from the sphere. Walked 10 min from sphere to Linq/Harrah monorail stop and paid $5.50 per person to take monorail to the MGM stop. So convenient and we could get back to our hotel faster than if we kept waiting for an uber of Lyft. Monorail was safe and clean. read more

Las Vegas Monorail - MGM monorail stop - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Honestly it is a great way of transportation at the strip. Will save you money on Ubers/lyfts and it is quick and easy to get on and off. It's nicely located in the back of the casinos from the MGM to Saharas. Doesn't go to downtown but it is ok, you can still manage to get transportation from saharas hotel which is cheaper than taking one from smack middle of the strip and get most of the time surcharged for it. Only costs $5 for one way or I would suggest to buy a two day pass if you are here in Vegas for the weekend it will help a lot! If you don't like walking then it is not for you and honestly you already are walking all day so what's an extra few steps to save $$$. I will take that any day! 10/10 read more

This is a great way to get up and down the strip, you can buy one trip as a day pass or multiple day passes. It's located where about seven stops that take you from one to the other on the script. Many of them have short walk to the casinos from the stop, but it certainly is cheaper at six dollars for a one-way pass than a cab over Uber. Cars were pretty clean for public transportation and it got me where I was going very quickly. read more

Sunday, 4-06-25: The monorail makes it very convenient to traverse from a number of hotels to another. We were staying at Harrah's next to The Linq, where we caught the monorail. We were surprised at how clean it was and how easy it was to purchase tickets. It was very simple to follow since the directions were very clear. Our ride was comfortable on the way to the MGM Grand, where David Copperfield was performing, and back to the Linq. Hope it expands in the future. So nice to avoid the traffic & crowds. read more

If you've ever paid for an Uber from the strip to the convention center, then please do yourself a favor and just try the monorail once. I've been stubborn for years thinking there were so many reasons not to take the monorail. And I was so wrong! It's convenient and way more reliable than Ubers. It's air conditioned and relatively comfortable. So unless you just have money to burn, make a plan and take the monorail. They run consistently and there are many spots to get on. If you stay at the MGM Grand, you can get on and off right downstairs to the left of where you would go wait endlessly for an Uber. I wish I had taken it years ago! read more

Finding the stops is the hardest part. They are kind of hidden but once you've ridden it it makes more sense. You can buy online for slightly cheaper prices and share tickets with others or be the single scanner. It was clean and pretty empty in December. read more

Took the monorail from the southern end of the strip to the northern end. It was nice, convenient, and the price seemed fair. It was also fun to ride, seeing all the sights along the way. I'd do it again. read more

Had intended to use this to get around more, but ended up just riding it up and back once, to see the sights. Lots of people use it for commuting. I saw employees and tourists go from point to point. Super easy, very affordable. Stations are nice, big, clean, with benches. Boarding is easy. Stops are well spaced and near attractions. read more

Not worth the money. Unpredictable behavior of the Monorail - will go one station and then go back with no communication. They have shortened the operation times to midnight despite what's advertised. Many escalators on different stations won't work and are not maintained. Use alternative and more reliable mode of transportation. read more

Las Vegas Monorail - The nightmare called Monorail. - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I really like the Vegas Monorail . I wish it travelled all around Vegas as its a great source of public transportation. Lets hope they continue expanding the system. read more

The monorail is a sad story. Vegas really needs mass transit but this 20 year old monorail is not the answer. The train itself is fine and runs frequently for a reasonable price. If you buy online you can get a 24 hour pass for $13.50. The problem is they have made it almost impossible to find and it only runs from the MGM Grand to the Sahara - not to downtown and not to the airport (I'm sure the taxicab companies lobbied against that when this was proposed). They have buried the entrances in obscure locations quite a ways off the Strip. They are poorly marked within the casinos where they are located. For example after a show at the Sphere we walked about 1/2 mile to Harrahs to pickup the monorail but unless you walk another quarter mile to the front of the casino it is nearly impossible to find it from the back where the station is. We ran into multiple groups wandering in the alleys and parking garage of Harrahs trying to find a way up to the station even though we could see it right above us. Eventually we found an unmarked elevator. What a joke! A good idea. Poorly executed and ignored by those with the money! read more

I took this multiple times during our trip to Vegas and the first time we took it was great and we had no problems. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. The second time we tried to take it, I bought a ticket and it didn't work, then I had to buy another ticket, that one also didn't work. I ended up having to buy several tickets before one worked and when I tried to ask about getting a refund for the tickets that didn't work, they told me that sometimes that happens and there's nothing they can do about it. Several people around us also ended up having problems. To try to take it one way, I ended up paying nearly $35 dollars just to get it to work. Then I had the same problem on the way back and had ot buy multiple tickets to get it to work. I lost track of how much I spent on tickets. When I tried to talk to someone again they told me that the Monorail has good days and bad days and they can't do anything about it. So when it works, its great, when it doesn't it sucks! read more

There are a lot of hit and misses reading the reviews for the LV Monorail, but I can honestly say it was a hit for me. If you plan ahead, then everything will go smoothly. I bought my ticket online during the weekday, and it was only $10 for a one day pass during the summer. Prices might be different depending on the season, but the best way to find out is to visit their website at https://www.lvmonorail.com/ticket-information/ I was staying at the MGM, so it worked out perfectly since the Monorail station is located onsite. The furthest it takes you is the Sahara, with 7 stops in between. Again, check out their website for more detailed information on where it stops. Luckily all the stops it made were close to the other casinos we had planned on going to. For a $10/daily pass, this was worth the purchase instead of taking an Uber/Lyft or Taxi. I highly recommend taking it at night if you have extra time and want to get up close to see the Sphere. This goes right by it and you will have some amazing views! Overall, I loved how easy it was to scan my ticket, and the wait time wasn't more than 5 minutes. I do recommend bringing a fan and water with you if you're taking it during the summer and can't handle waiting in the heat. read more

We played tourist and rode the monorail to both ends. It was fun to see the sights. We weren't sure if you have to get off at the end so we bought an all day ticket. You don't have to. Stay on as long as you like. Tickets are cheaper from the kiosk. read more

I decided to take the monorail last minute because I had to be at a place quickly for $6. Turns out the doors closed on us, there was a malfunction and we had to wait 20+min with an ad. Playing on repeat. Impossible to get out of the train. This was straight out of a nightmare. I was obviously late. read more

First time using the monorail. I usually use a uber/lyft or get a rental car when I'm here. It was super convenient and easy to use to get to my hotel (Sahara) and the Las Vegas Convention Center. The trains came pretty frequently and were well-maintained/clean. read more

This is a great way to get around Las Vegas. The cost is reasonable and less expensive than taking Ubers and Taxis everywhere. You should have no problem knowing what sites are close to the Monorail stations. The Monorail cars and stations are very clean. The main issue I had with the Monorail is that when you are on the Las Vegas Strip, it is not straightforward to find the stations. There are not many hotels with signs indicating that the Monorail is accessible from within. It can also be a challenge to find the Monorail once inside a hotel. The stations within the hotels are typically in the rear and require a lot of walking and a constant lookout for signs. read more

What a great cost effective way to get around the Vegas strip! They run every 8 minutes and hit all the major hotel/casinos. We bought the 3 day unlimited for 28.00 but didn't utilize it fully since we were essentially staying right in the middle of the strip so a lot of it was walkable. Next time I'll just buy the daily pass bc there's no refund for unused days. Go to Vegas.. it's fun!! read more

Las Vegas Monorail - Great way to get around! - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The monorail is good if you are trying to limit time outside and if you are trying to go further distances. There are 7 stations and the monorail is only worth taking if you go 3 stations away at the very least. The monorail runs along the backsides of the hotels so just getting to a station is quite a walk. Take the MGM station for example. From the strip, you enter the MGM and have to walk all the way to the rear of the property and then you have to also search for the station because they don't put much signage anywhere. Then, once you get to your destination, you have to wander thru the maze of the casino to find the strip again. read more

Every time I ride this, in my head I picture the Simpsons episode with the monorail and the song INSTANTLY pops in my head. Great choice for moving around the ginormous Vegas strip. It's not cheap, but better than walking, more convenient than Rideshare, and reliable. Cars are air conditioned (and heated for those three days a year when its cold). Only wish the staging area was air conditioned, it gets HOT on those August afternoons. read more

The Las Vegas Monorail is a great way to get around The Strip, from each of the big casinos to the other. It would be great for when it's blisteringly hot out and walking far a long time may be hard, if you have any mobility issues, or if you want to get around fast to see a lot in one day. The Monorail stops at each of the big casino clusters, so you can hop on it at one stop, hit a few casinos at once, hop back on and get to the next little pocket. For example, it stop at the Horseshoe and Paris casinos area, then at Caesars Palace and the Flamingo. It's pretty reasonable price-wise at under $15 for a full day pass (but the per-day price goes down if you do a multi-day pass). The route starts at the MGM and goes all the way to the Sahara, so that's a 4.5 mile distance which would be a 17 minute Uber drive or a 1 hour 15 minute walk! I definitely recommend this mode of transportation to get around to all the areas of Vegas pretty comfortable and affordably. read more

I love that they have this Monorail available. I like the fact that it is less than a 5 minute walk from Westgate hotel as this is where we always stay. For 3 of the 3 day passes I paid $89.85. I would say this is well worth it. We get to avoid the traffic on the strip and do not need to worry about finding parking nor having to pay for parking. I also like the fact that you can walk as far as you want and you do not have to worry about having to go back to such and such place because that's where you parked. You just need to go to the hotels that have the monorail available which would be Horseshoe/Paris Station, Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station, Harrah's/The Linq Station, Boingo Station at Las Vegas Convention Center, WestGate Station and Sahara Station. Lastly you do not have to worry about drinking because you're not driving and that is a huge plus for us. read more

Best way to get around to avoid paying for parking ! Park at the Sahara Resort for free and go up and down the strip! One way is $5.50 and a 24 hour pass is $11! We used the Monorail to get to New York New York for the Mad Apple Cirque show. Parked at Sahara, got off on the MGM Hotel stop and walked across to New York New York. Wayyyy better than paying $50 for parking during "special event pricing" which would have run us $50! read more

Las Vegas Monorail - High baller view from monorail station at Harrahs. - Public Transportation Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This monorail is an affordable alternative to ride-share (Lyft/Uber/taxi) on the Strip; one way is comparatively cheap at $5.50 (as of 05/09/24). Plus, buying tickets online was easy & fast. #ProTip: don't try using screenshots to enter the platform. Because of the station locations, I don't think the monorail is a time-saver at all. But, since a lot of the walking between stations & resorts is indoors through casinos, the monorail isn't a bad option to avoid Vegas' summer temps. And I do think it's a fun way to travel up & down the strip. My girlfriend & I determined that our round trip travel for two from Luxor to Caesars Palace via monorail cost about what one way via Lyft would've cost us including tip. We enjoyed the exercise walking, especially after our feast of a lunch at Caesars Palace, so this was a fine option for us. Plus we got to see the MGM and Flamingo casinos, which we probably wouldn't have sought out separately. I do wish the stations were situated closer to Las Vegas Blvd, because I would never suggest this monorail to anyone with walking issues. But the value is fantastic for those that can handle the walk. I know Vegas involves A LOT of walking, but tbh y'all know that the walking is egregiously underestimated by first-timers. read more

The best way to get around Las Vegas by far! The stations are clean and accessible from many Strip hotels, from MGM to Sahara. Multiple day tickets are the way to go as we like to travel to different casinos to gamble. Much more affordable than taxi or rideshare. read more

We needed to get from one end of the strip to the other without a car. It was easy to use. I wish you could access from the back side of some of the hotels and there was a lot of unnecessary walking through the casinos. $6 one way.. a little steep for the amount of time you are on it. read more

You'll buy a 5 day ticket, a it will work fine once then it will give you troubles the whole rest of the trip, because they are so worried about people cheating the system that they aren't worried about customer satisfaction. Avoid this monorail at all costs. read more

The LV Monorail is a great way to get around the Strip at a very convenient price with 7 stops going from one end of the Strip to the other (MGM Grand to Sahara). We were staying at Sahara, and the monorail dropped us off at the Convention Center for our event, so this train was perfect. The trains are clean and air conditioned, but the seats could use a lil' TLC, arriving approximately every 8 minutes or so. Hours are: Monday: 7AM - 12 Midnight Tues - Thurs: 7AM - 2AM Fri - Sun: 7AM - 3AM. You can purchase e-tickets (online) for a discounted price at lvmonorail.com but you can purchase paper tickets for the full fare price at the kiosk by the train's entrance. Currently, online prices are $5.50 for a single ride but can save more with multi-day passes. Children under 5 ride free. We usually get the 24-hour pass for $13.45/person. I'm very happy with this form of transportation while in town. read more

Staying at Harrah's, we had easy access to the Las Vegas monorail. We took it south to MGM and it was a quick and easy way to get there. It runs enough so that the wait is short and it beats having to walk the strip. Next time I'm in town I will definitely take the monorail to other hotels on the line. read more
