Is there any way to get a discount on the monarail in Las Vegas?

Keep an eye out on the monorail website for any possible discounted rates and additional information. The last time I saw discounted rates on the fares were over a year ago, however. Right now single ride tickets are $5.00 each, the day pass is $12.00 and the three day pass is $28.00. The monorail runs north to south and back again between the following stations: Sahara, Las Vegas Hilton, Las Vegas Convention Center, Harrah’s/Imperial Palace, Flamingo, Bally’s/Paris, and the MGM.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that the monorail stations are not close to the street itself (The Strip). They are on the east side of the strip BEHIND their respective hotel/casino stopping points. So you’ve got to walk through the casino and wind your way back out to the street. This is, of course, so you must spend time in the respective casinos and (they hope) spend some money.

You may want to consider the Deuce bus which is a casual public transportation option. It is much more cost effective and actually runs ON the strip so you get sightseeing and transportation down in one shot. You can purchase a 24 hour pass for $7.00 that will be usable on any bus in the city, so long that a bus travels there. If you want to ride JUST the Deuce bus and won’t need to travel anywhere off of the Strip, there is a fare for that bus only (I believe it is $5.00, double check when you arrive).

Just a side note, taxis are another option of course but they can be pricey. I suggest using them if you’re needing to get to a show or a dinner reservation in a short amount of time. Taxi fare is not set, it is based on mileage and wait time. For example, the average cost to go from the Stratosphere to the MGM is typically about $17-20 for a one way fare. If you’re unsure what the best method of transportation would be for your needs, ask your hotel concierge or the front desk.

Best of luck and have fun!
