The easiest way to travel between hotels on the Las Vegas Strip to enjoy different racing events is the Las Vegas Monorail. There are seven station locations along the Strip as follows:

• MGM Grand Station
• Horseshoe/Parris Station
• Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station
• Harrah’s/The LINQ Station
• Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center
• Westgate Station
• SAHARA Las Vegas Station

Each station puts you within walking distance of the different Formula 1 racing zones and numerous attractions. Due to road closures, delays, and alternate routes, the Monorail will be the best option to travel along the Strip.

The Las Vegas Monorail will also offer extended hours for this event! The Monorail will run continuously from 7 a.m. on Tuesday, November 14, through 3 a.m. on Monday, November 20. Trains arrive at stations every 5-10 minutes.

Save time and money by purchasing discounted tickets in advance and downloading them to your phone. 

If you’re a Las Vegas resident, you can purchase local $1 single-ride tickets at a Monorail station customer service booth on every station EXCEPT Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We highly recommend you buy in advance because customer service booths are open for limited times daily. If they’re closed, a full-price ticket is the only option to access the system, so be sure to purchase early!

Important Monorail rules to ride

LVGP weekend is going to be very busy on the Monorail system. Please review these rules to ensure a smooth experience.

• Arrive early and pack patience: If you are parking somewhere to ride the Monorail to the race, please arrive at the station at least an hour in advance to account for lines and other delays
• Courtesy is contagious (and drinks spill): Remember, just like you, every rider is trying to get somewhere on the Monorail, and staff on the system truly do want to help get you to your destination. Please don’t bring open containers or anything else that can spill or leak.
• Only you can prevent delays: It’s going to be busy. Please don’t try to crowd into an already full train, and don’t hold train doors open — these cause system alarms, which immediately stop all trains until the alarm is cleared. Alarms = delays, and delays = bad.
• Electronic tickets: Please purchase discounted tickets if you’d rather have an electronic ticket to scan from your phone. We apologize, but local tickets are not available electronically.
