Las Vegas Monorail Stops: Stations, Hotels on the Line, Hours and Fares

The Las Vegas Monorail stops at seven stations on a 3.9-mile elevated line that runs behind the east side of the Strip, from MGM Grand in the south to SAHARA in the north. Trains come every 4 to 8 minutes, but the line only pays off if your hotel is near a station. Here are the Las Vegas Monorail stops, the hotels each one serves, and the fares and hours as of October 2026.

Las Vegas Monorail stops, south to north

2. Horseshoe & Paris
3. Flamingo & Caesars Palace

We checked the station list, fares and hours on lvmonorail.com in October 2026; our review method explains how we date facts like these.

The Horseshoe & Paris stop is the former Bally’s & Paris station (Bally’s became Horseshoe Las Vegas in December 2022), so older maps and guides may still use the old name. The Monorail’s own route map shows the full line, which runs alongside Koval Lane and Paradise Road.

MGM Grand: the south end

The southern terminus sits inside MGM Grand, and it’s the nearest stop for Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay and the Four Seasons too. It’s also the T-Mobile Arena stop: walk through the casino and across the New York-New York pedestrian bridge to The Park. MGM’s own estimate puts the arena about 10 minutes from MGM Grand on foot; our guide to hotels near T-Mobile Arena has walk times from every nearby resort.

Harrah’s & The LINQ: Sphere and the Venetian Expo

This station is one stop from the Convention Center and is the stop the Monorail lists for The Venetian Expo, and Harrah’s has an enclosed skybridge to the CAESARS FORUM conference center. Sphere has no station; Harrah’s FAQ puts it 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. For trade shows at either hall, see our guide to hotels near the Venetian Expo.

Convention Center: getting to the halls

Boingo Station sits above Desert Inn Road at Paradise Road. From its bridge, one side leads to the North and Central halls and the other to the South Hall (an escalator down, then a walk across the Silver lot). For the West Hall, go through the North Hall and over the Paradise Bridge, or head downstairs in the Central Hall for a free Vegas Loop ride. Our guide to hotels near the Las Vegas Convention Center covers the closest stays.

Which Monorail stop for each venue?

Venue	Monorail stop	From the station
T-Mobile Arena	MGM Grand	Through the casino and over the New York-New York bridge; MGM puts MGM Grand about 10 minutes from the arena
Sphere	Harrah’s & The LINQ	Harrah’s FAQ puts Sphere 10 to 15 minutes away on foot
The Venetian Expo	Harrah’s & The LINQ	The stop the Monorail lists for the Expo
CAESARS FORUM	Harrah’s & The LINQ	Harrah’s enclosed skybridge
LVCC North, Central and South halls	Convention Center	The station’s bridge
LVCC West Hall	Convention Center	Through the North Hall and over the Paradise Bridge, or a free campus Loop ride

Westgate and SAHARA: the north end

Westgate’s station is on site, and Westgate lists the convention center as a 7-minute walk. SAHARA’s station, inside the resort, is the end of the line, the closest stop to The STRAT and the starting point for Downtown connections. Both resorts also have Vegas Loop stations; our Vegas Loop guide explains how the two systems differ.

Which hotels are on the Las Vegas Monorail?

Eight hotels have a station on site or attached: MGM Grand, Horseshoe, Paris (indoors through Horseshoe), Flamingo, Harrah’s, The LINQ, Westgate and SAHARA. Caesars Palace and New York-New York are across the boulevard from a station, and The Signature, Planet Hollywood and The Vanderpump Hotel are a walk away.

For the most central base, Horseshoe sits at the Four Corners intersection and shares its station with Paris, and Horseshoe’s resort fee ($49.95 plus tax) undercuts Paris’s ($54.95 plus tax) as of October 2026. Flamingo is the budget choice with a station on property. The LINQ and Harrah’s are one stop from the Convention Center, MGM Grand anchors the south end, and Westgate sits next to the Convention Center. On a first trip, a center-Strip hotel on the line is the easy call.

Hotels that aren’t on the Monorail

• Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, The Cosmopolitan, Park MGM and Waldorf Astoria: no station. The free ARIA Express tram links Park MGM, ARIA’s stop on the ARIA Campus (the former CityCenter) and Bellagio, whose stop also serves Vdara.
• The Venetian, The Palazzo and Treasure Island: no station; walk to Harrah’s & The LINQ.
• Wynn, Encore and Resorts World: no Monorail station, but Encore and Resorts World have Vegas Loop stations.
• Fontainebleau, Circus Circus and The STRAT: no station. Westgate is the stop the Monorail lists for Fontainebleau, and SAHARA is closest to The STRAT.
• Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur: south of the line; the nearest stop is MGM Grand.
• Downtown hotels: the Monorail doesn’t go Downtown.

If you’re still choosing an area, start with the station table at the top of this guide and pick a hotel within a short walk of a platform.

How much is the Las Vegas Monorail?

Fares as of October 2026, from the Monorail’s ticket page:

Ticket	At the station	Online eTicket
1 ride	$6.25	$5.75
1-day	$15.50	$13.95
2-day	$27.00	$24.45
3-day	$33.00	$30.85
4-day	$40.00	$38.10
5-day	$48.25	$45.85
7-day	$64.00	$59.95

• Buy online: discounted eTickets are sold only online; station vending machines sell full-price paper tickets. eTickets stay valid for a year from purchase, and the LVCVA notes that mobile tickets can be stored in your phone’s wallet.
• Multi-day passes run in consecutive 24-hour periods from your first ride, so start one when you’ll use it.
• Kids: children 5 and under ride free but must be carried through the gates with a paying adult.
• Nevada residents pay $1 a ride with a valid Nevada ID at station customer-service booths (limits apply).
• CES attendees can buy discounted passes through CES registration, and the badge then works as the ticket. CES 2027 runs Jan. 6–9.

As for promo codes, we couldn’t verify any military discount or promo code on the Monorail’s official pages, so buy from the official ticket site rather than trusting code sites.

Las Vegas Monorail hours: is it 24 hours?

Not normally. Outside Grand Prix race week, trains run daily from 7 a.m. (as of October 2026):

Day	Hours
Monday	7 a.m. to midnight
Tuesday to Thursday	7 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Friday to Sunday	7 a.m. to 3 a.m.

The exception is Formula 1 race week: the Monorail’s system notice says trains run nonstop from 7 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, to 3 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23, 2026, which helps with the Grand Prix road closures.

The system also closes early in late 2026: at midnight on Thursday, Oct. 29; Nov. 29 to Dec. 2; Dec. 6 to 10; and Dec. 13 to 15, and at 1 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3. Six of those nights fall during NFR week (Dec. 3–12), so rodeo fans out late should plan the ride back. Trains run every 4 to 8 minutes (5 to 6 on average, and every 4 to 5 during large conventions), reach up to 50 mph and cover the whole line in about 15 minutes. After the last train, the RTC’s Deuce bus runs along the Strip 24 hours a day.

Is the Las Vegas Monorail worth it?

Yes, if your hotel is on the line and you’ll ride three or more times in a day. With online prices:

• Two rides cost $11.50 (2 × $5.75), less than the $13.95 1-day pass.
• Three rides cost $17.25 (3 × $5.75), so the pass wins from the third ride.
• At the station the break-even is also three rides: $18.75 (3 × $6.25) against the $15.50 pass.
• For a longer stay, the 3-day eTicket ($30.85) costs less than three 1-day passes ($41.85, or 3 × $13.95).

It earns its fare for:

• Conventions. Harrah’s & The LINQ is one stop from the Convention Center, and during large conventions trains come every 4 to 5 minutes and reach the convention center in no more than 10 minutes from anywhere on the line.
• End-to-end trips. MGM Grand to SAHARA takes about 15 minutes on the elevated track.
• Car-free trips from a station hotel; our guide to Las Vegas without a car shows how it fits with the free trams and the Deuce.

It’s not worth it for:

• Short hops. Stations sit behind the resorts, so the walk to the platform eats most of the time saved. T-Mobile Arena’s former route guide, which labeled its times approximate, estimated 18 minutes by Monorail from Paris or Horseshoe versus 20 to 22 minutes on foot.
• Hotels off the line, where you’d walk to a station first.
• Late nights and Downtown. The Deuce costs less ($4 a ride or $8 for 24 hours), runs around the clock and continues Downtown, with buses every 10 to 15 minutes most of the day.

Where the Monorail doesn’t go

Does the Las Vegas Monorail go to the airport?

No. The Monorail’s FAQ says it doesn’t serve Harry Reid International Airport. The nearest link is RTC Route 108, which runs from Terminal 1 to the SAHARA Monorail station and to Paradise and Desert Inn, the corner of the Convention Center station. Our guide to getting from the airport to the Strip compares taxis, rideshare and buses.

Does the Las Vegas Monorail go to Fremont Street?

No, it doesn’t go Downtown. Ride to SAHARA, then take the Deuce, which runs 24 hours, or the free Downtown Loop shuttle, whose pink-signed stop is in The STRAT’s taxi and rideshare zone (its hours are limited and vary). Our guide to getting from the Strip to Fremont Street compares every option.

Does the Las Vegas Monorail go to Mandalay Bay?

No. The line ends at MGM Grand, which Mandalay Bay names as its nearest station. From Mandalay Bay, ride the free tram to Excalibur, then cross the pedestrian bridges through New York-New York to MGM Grand. The resorts’ own pages list different tram hours, so check the posted schedule.

Which Monorail stop is closest to the Sphere?

Harrah’s & The LINQ. Sphere has no station of its own, and the Monorail lists Harrah’s & The LINQ as its stop for The Venetian Expo, the building Sphere’s indoor bridge runs through. Harrah’s FAQ puts Sphere 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. Our guide to hotels near Sphere covers the closest stays.

The Monorail vs. the free Las Vegas trams

Las Vegas also has two free trams, and they’re separate from the Monorail:

• ARIA Express: Park MGM, ARIA and The Shops at Crystals on the ARIA Campus, and Bellagio, whose station also serves Vdara.
• Mandalay Bay tram: Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur.

Neither stops at a Monorail station. The tram between Treasure Island and the former Mirage, which is being rebuilt as Hard Rock Las Vegas, is closed.

FAQ

Is the Las Vegas Monorail free?

No. A single ride costs $5.75 online or $6.25 at a station machine, as of October 2026. Children 5 and under ride free when carried through the gates with a paying adult, and Nevada residents pay $1 a ride with a valid Nevada ID. The ARIA Express and Mandalay Bay trams are free, but they only link their own resorts.

Is the Las Vegas Monorail safe at night?

We found no official safety data, so we can’t rate it. What we can say: the end stations sit inside MGM Grand and SAHARA, Westgate’s is on site and the Harrah’s & The LINQ platform is on the second floor between the two hotels. Trains come every 4 to 8 minutes until closing, and after the last one the Deuce runs 24 hours. Use the same awareness you would on any transit late at night.

Is the Las Vegas Monorail still running?

Yes. As of October 2026 it runs daily from 7 a.m., with trains every 4 to 8 minutes. Its official site lists nonstop service from Nov. 17 to 23 for Grand Prix week and early closures on several nights through Dec. 15, 2026.

How long does the Monorail take from end to end?

About 15 minutes from MGM Grand to SAHARA, according to the Monorail, on a 3.9-mile route (its FAQ rounds it to about 4 miles). Add the wait for a train, every 4 to 8 minutes, and the walk to the platform.

Is the Las Vegas Monorail wheelchair accessible?

Yes. The Monorail says the system is ADA compliant, with elevators at all stations, which also helps with strollers.
