About the Las Vegas Monorail

The Las Vegas Monorail is an easy and convenient way to travel the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. It connects riders to the city’s world-class restaurants, shows, shops, clubs, hotels and casinos.

Currently, the Monorail has seven stations, located at MGM Grand, Bally’s/Paris Las Vegas, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah’s/Imperial Palace, Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas Hilton and the Sahara.
