Las Vegas Monorail and Free Shuttles

Despite the plentiful golf courses, lakes and water falls, Las Vegas is in the desert and deserts can get very hot. Riding the LV Monorail offers a great way to an overall view of the Strip, avoid traffic congestion even if the cab driver is the one behind the wheel, and most important of all, spare you the near brutal day time heat especially from late spring through mid-autumn.

There are nine trains that travel the 4 mile route directly behind the Strip from the MGM Grand to the Sahara Station (the SLS hotel is located where the old Sahara once stood). Free shuttles, sponsored by the nearest resort, run between the Monorail stops and the hotels/casinos. Air conditioned comfort all the way.

The total capacity of the four-car Monorail trains is roughly equivalent to two articulated buses; that comes to 80 seated and 160 standing passengers. Don't run for Google; an articulated bus is a single deck bus made up of two ‘bus lengths’ that are connected by an encased pivoting joint.
