Nevada Day Trips Destination Guide to the Silver State

Las Vegas Monorail System


 


Las Vegas Monorail runs along a four mile route above the streets along the the Las Vegas Strip. There are seven stations: MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris Las Vegas, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah's/Imperial Palace, Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas Hilton and Sahara. Traffic along the Las Vegas Strip is painfully slow, pedestrians can almost keep up with the line of cars. When you ride the monorail you will speed along at up to 50 miles an hour in air conditioned comfort.
Las Vegas Monorail
The Las vegas Monorail is the first driverless public monorail system in the world. Traveling the four miles takes about 15 minutes, a considerable time saving over driving or walking. The Las Vegas Monorail Company is planning stages of a proposed expansion to McCarran International Airport, which would help deliver Las Vegas visitors from the airport to their vacation destinations. IF you are planning on staying at one of the hotels with it's own station the monorail is a great way to get around Vegas.
