NYE Vegas: Monorail Runs 43 Hours Straight
1 Jan
Summary
- Monorail operates continuously for 43 hours during New Year's Eve.
- Strip closure restricts motorized transport, making monorail essential.
- Local residents get discounted $1 rides with Nevada ID.
The Las Vegas Monorail is set to operate non-stop for 43 hours, from 7 a.m. Wednesday to 2 a.m. Friday, to assist visitors navigating the city during New Year's Eve festivities. This extended service is crucial as the Las Vegas Strip will be closed to traffic between Reno Avenue and Spring Mountain Road from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 2 a.m. Thursday.
This closure makes the monorail the exclusive motorized transport choice for many. Recognizing the inconvenience, special pricing is available for locals. Residents of Southern Nevada can purchase single rides for just $1 by visiting customer service booths with a valid Nevada ID between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Wednesday.
For those seeking unlimited travel, discounted 24-hour passes are accessible online for $13.45. The 3.9-mile monorail system features seven stations, connecting key locations including MGM Grand, Horseshoe Las Vegas, Flamingo, Harrah's, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate, and the Sahara.
