    North Strip terminus

This simplified planning map follows the official route from MGM Grand to SAHARA. Station entrances are typically reached through connected resorts rather than directly from the Strip; allow extra walking time for the resort interior and elevated walkways.

Quick answer: the Las Vegas Monorail is a 3.9-mile elevated line with seven stations from MGM Grand on the South Strip to SAHARA Las Vegas on the North Strip. Official Monorail guidance says trains generally arrive every four to eight minutes, while the full end-to-end ride is about 15 minutes before boarding and exit time. It is especially practical for the east side of the Strip, the Las Vegas Convention Center, and resorts connected to station walkways. [1]

The important caveat is access: several stations are reached through casino interiors, garages, elevated connectors, or retail corridors. Plan the hotel-to-station walk as part of the trip, particularly with luggage, a mobility need, a dinner reservation, or a show start time.

All Seven Las Vegas Monorail Stops

The south-to-north route is MGM Grand, Horseshoe/Paris, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah’s/The LINQ, Boingo Station at Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate, and SAHARA Las Vegas. The line runs parallel to Las Vegas Boulevard, Koval Lane, and Paradise Road—helpful context for understanding why it serves the east Strip better than every hotel entrance. [1]

MGM Grand

The southern terminal is useful for MGM Grand and the south Strip. Follow resort signs and allow time for the internal walk before a show or airport transfer.

Horseshoe / Paris

The station is at 3645 South Las Vegas Boulevard on the lower level of Horseshoe Las Vegas. Paris guests use the connected Le Boulevard/Horseshoe route. The official station page says there is no direct street-level entrance. [5]

Flamingo / Caesars Palace

This station serves the Flamingo/Caesars area through Flamingo Hotel & Casino. Official directions lead visitors through the casino toward the lobby and parking-garage area, then to the elevated connector walkway. It is not a direct front-door Caesars Palace stop. [6]

Harrah’s / The LINQ

Use this center-Strip stop for the Harrah’s and LINQ area. Check the official directions and your actual resort entrance before departing, since interior routes can differ.

Boingo Station at Las Vegas Convention Center

This is the Convention Center stop. It is useful during trade shows, but the campus itself is large, so allow walking time beyond the fare gates.

Westgate and SAHARA Las Vegas

These north-route stations work for Westgate, the Convention Center area, and SAHARA Las Vegas. SAHARA is the northern terminal, not a continuation to the airport or Fremont Street.

Which Hotels Have the Best Monorail Access?

Hotel or areaClosest stationAccess reality
MGM GrandMGM GrandSouth-end terminal; follow resort signs.
Horseshoe and ParisHorseshoe / ParisLower-level Horseshoe station; Paris uses the connected interior route.

Harrah’s and The LINQHarrah’s / The LINQCenter-Strip option; verify internal walk from your start point.

SAHARASAHARA Las VegasNorth-end terminal access.

The Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, Aria, Cosmopolitan, and Resorts World are not station-name hotels. Compare the full door-to-door time with walking or a direct rideshare before you buy an unlimited pass.

Buying and Using Monorail Tickets

The official ticket page says discounted tickets can be purchased online as mobile tickets and scanned by QR code at station fare gates. Ticket vending machines at all seven stations sell regular full-price paper tickets; discounted mobile tickets are not available from those machines. A one-ride ticket is useful for one targeted trip; a 24-hour or multi-day pass works best when several actual plans sit near stations. [3]

For airport-to-Strip planning, read our Las Vegas Airport to Strip guide; the Monorail does not run directly to Harry Reid International Airport. For central-Strip dining near the Flamingo/Caesars area, see Bacchanal Buffet Price 2026.
