What Is the Best Way To Get Around the Las Vegas Strip for the F1 Race?
Since major sections of the Vegas Strip and connecting roads will be closed, traffic near the F1 races will be hectic, crowded, and congested. Not to mention, parking fees, if you can even find parking near the races, will be expensive. The easiest way to get around the Las Vegas Strip is to ride the Las Vegas Monorail.
The Las Vegas Monorail covers a 3.9-mile section of the Strip that starts at the SAHARA Las Vegas Station on the northern part of the Strip, and runs south to the MGM Grand Station, with these stations in between:
- Westgate Station
- Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center
- Harrah’s/The LINQ Station
- Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station
- Horseshoe/Paris Station
- MGM Grand Station
These three stations are located inside the F1 Las Vegas Strip map, making it easy to get to your preferred viewing area zone, events, shopping, and experiences:
- Harrah’s/The LINQ Station: Close to The Venetian and near the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere
- Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station: Close to Caesars Palace and the Flamingo Zone
- Horseshoe/Paris Station: Close to the MGM Zone and near the Koval Zone, East Harmon Zone, West Harmon Zone, and Hilton Grand Vacations Zone
Monorail Race Day Tips
- Be patient
- Be courteous to others
- Keep clear of the doors to avoid delays
- Keep all food and drink sealed and closed
We also highly recommend locals purchase their discounted tickets in advance at one of the stations to avoid long lines and delays on race days.
