Las Vegas Monorail Delivers the Strip to New Year’s Eve Partygoers

When people from all over the world gather to celebrate America’s Party: Las Vegas New Year 2012, the Las Vegas Monorail will provide hassle-free access to the city’s best New Year’s Eve parties, events and hotspots. Las Vegas Boulevard will close to taxis, buses and other vehicles in the early evening, but Monorail riders will still be able to reach their party destinations in 15 minutes or less, with nonstop service until 3 a.m. 

“Visitors come to Las Vegas to experience the best party in the country, not to waste time in traffic trying to reach a restaurant, show or nightclub,” said Ingrid Reisman, vice president of corporate communications for the Las Vegas Monorail Company. “The Monorail makes it easy for them to travel to the city’s festivities, without having to worry about road closures, crowded streets or finding a designated driver.”

The Las Vegas Monorail Company offers several different ticket types: a $5 Single Ride Ticket, a $12 Unlimited-Ride Day Pass and a $28 Unlimited-Ride Three-Day Pass. Trains will arrive every few minutes at each of the seven stations, even when the dazzling fireworks display lights up the sky at midnight.
