Las Vegas Monorail

2008-07-05T07:23:00.000-07:00

The LVCVA recently sent out this notice to the travel trade:

With gas prices on the mind of every traveler, give your clients the reassurance they need. Give them Vegas.

The Las Vegas monorail provides a great alternative to driving. It's hassle free, runs nearly 24 hours per day and stops at key locations throughout the Strip corridor. With seven high-tech stations, the monorail directly reaches hotel properties on the east side of the Strip and is convenient to the west side hotels as well.

Beginning at MGM Grand, the monorail travels above the skyline north towards its turn-around point at the Sahara Hotel & Casino. Visitors will pass by and can exit at Bally's & Paris, Flamingo & Caesars, Harrah's & Imperial Palace, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the Las Vegas Hilton.

Day passes begin at $9 for unlimited rides. Three day passes and special convention passes are available as well.

And, if your attendees prefer driving around town, remind them that parking is free at most casino resorts. Only in Vegas!
