Where does the Las Vegas Monorail go?
The Las Vegas Monorail stops at the following stations:
- Sahara Las Vegas
- Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino
- Convention Center
- Harrah’s/The LINQ
- Flamingo/Caesars Palace
- Bally’s/Paris Las Vegas
- MGM Grand
The Las Vegas Monorail connects to the Las Vegas Convention Center, making it a convenient way to get to and from conventions and trade shows. It also connects to the McCarran (Yes I know they changed the name, but it will always be McCarran to me) International Airport, making it a convenient way to get to and from your flight. And no I do not know if you can purchase tickets at the Airport via a Kiosk. The map on the Monorail Website does not show the route to the Airport. I have been in and out of the Airport many times and have not noticed a place to purchase tickets. My advice would be to take one of the Strip Hotels Free Shuttle services and bypass the Monorail completely as a means of getting to and from the Airport. Or contact them directly at the email address or telephone numbers listed above.
