Las Vegas Monorail (longer walk to the nearest station)
The nearest Las Vegas Monorail station is the Las Vegas Convention Center Station. Walking there from Circus Circus is a significant walk — sources list it at about a 27-minute walk — so plan for that transfer time or take a Deuce/taxi to the station if you prefer a shorter walk.
The monorail runs along the east side of the Strip between MGM Grand (south) and SAHARA Las Vegas (north). It can be convenient if your itinerary includes stops directly served by the monorail corridor.
- Nearest station: Las Vegas Convention Center Station (about a 27-minute walk).
- Monorail serves seven stations along the east side of the Strip.
- Consider combining a short Deuce or rideshare hop with the monorail to save walking time.
| When to use | Why |
|---|---|
| Traveling to Convention Center area | Direct monorail access but long walk from hotel |
| Visiting north/east-Strip stops | Faster between monorail stations than buses in some cases |
| If you want to avoid a long walk | Take Deuce/taxi to the monorail station instead |
