Tips for Riding the Las Vegas Monorail

The Las Vegas Monorail gets two thumbs up from me and my family. First I would like to say that with all the attractions being lit up the view at night is exceptionally wonderful. Riding the monorail takes a little preparation to get the full benefits of its fast paced voyage. I have compiled a list of tips for the touring traveler guarantying trips will not be wasted on back and forth rides of the Las Vegas Monorail. The Las Vegas Monorail runs Monday - Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Friday - Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

First on the list of tips is the fare information and specials which make it affordable and time worthy to everyone, with the whole ride taking about 15 minutes. Right now there are single ride tickets for $5, two ride tickets for $9, six ride party pack for $20, and August one day travel passes for only $9. So much better than those taxi cabs that take the long way around just to increase the dollar amount of the ride. Oh, I almost forgot children under five are free.

Next on the list of tips for the monorail is the route in which the Las Vegas Monorail travels. The Las Vegas Monorail route starts at the MGM Grand Station traveling practically parallel to the strip ending at the Sahara Station. The route has several stops to include Bally's Station, Caesar's Palace Station, Harrah's Imperial Palace Station, Las Vegas Convention Center Station, and the Las Vegas Hilton Station. Available on the web is an interactive map that will help you travel exactly to the destination you're looking to go. Click Here. I would definitely take a look at the interactive map, just to get some idea how the monorail system works, it's quite different from a taxi or bus system.

Some of your wanted destinations may not exactly be on the route, so be sure you look over the map to ensure you'll know when to get off the monorail. You may have to walk a block or two to get where you are going, but rest assured then the Las Vegas Monorail still saves you time.
