The Las Vegas Monorail offers an easy and economical way to travel between the resorts and casinos on the Strip. Now, for the summer months, they’re sweetening the deal with an extra discount.
From now until Labor Day, single-day unlimited ride passes will be only $8 per person. This represents more than 45% off the normal price of $15. And considering a “two-ride” pass is $9, this new discount will enable riders of the monorail to really maximize their transportation dollars while they travel the entire route.
Not to mention you’ll be riding in air conditioning while outside day temps soar into the 100s. That there is enough to convince me.
Currently, the monorail traverses between the MGM Grand in the south and the Sahara on the north end. Along the way, it stops at Bally’s/Paris, the Flamingo, Harrah’s/Imperial Palace, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Las Vegas Hilton. Hours of operation are 7am until 2am every day except for Fridays and Saturdays when it runs until 3am.
Plans are currently in the works to expand the route to McCarran Airport, which in my opinion should have been done in the first place. It would do wonders for increasing riders on the monorail if people could take it from the airport directly to the Strip.
But for the summer months, if you want to take advantage of this great deal for travel on the Strip, visit www.lvmonorail.com to purchase your one-day unlimited ride pass.

I don’t get it. Can you only get this deal if you purchase them in advance off the website? Or when I get to vegas will I get the same deal at the terminals?
I go to the monorail website and can’t find the $8 per day deal. What is the secret?
@ 2vegasiGO: As far as I understand, the deal is good whether you buy it online or at one of their ticket kiosks.
@ M.Billings: It looks like they raised the price a dollar to $9 but you can find all the deals on the monorail website under tickets: http://www.lvmonorail.com/ride/ticket_info/#onepass
I emailed the customer service. The following is the response I received:
The $9 unlimited one-day pass is our July Summer Special and the tickets
will be available for purchase through the end of July. If you will be
in town the end of August, you may want to purchase these tickets in
advance on our website (www.lvmonorail.com) to ensure that you get to
take advantage of this special offer.
The $8 unlimited one-day pass was a promotion that was running through
the end of June and that promotion has been replaced with the July
Summer Special.
Sincerely,
Customer Service
