Getting around: monorail, shuttles, walk and car options

Westgate Las Vegas has an onsite Las Vegas Monorail stop for quick trips along the resort corridor, complimentary shuttle service to the Strip and Downtown included with the resort fee, and covered self-parking and valet if you bring a car. For short on-property trips use the lobby and concierges for shuttles and maps; the hotel is also an easy walk to the Las Vegas Convention Center (about 5–10 minutes).
In this guide
Las Vegas Monorail — direct resort-corridor access
Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino has an on-site Las Vegas Monorail station near the front of the property, providing direct access to other Strip-area resorts and attractions along the monorail route.
The Monorail is one of the fastest ways to move north–south along the resort corridor without traffic. Check Monorail schedules and stops before you travel; the hotel concierge can confirm the nearest platform and current operating hours.
- On-site Westgate Monorail station at the hotel entrance
- Good option to reach Strip resorts, convention center stops and entertainment venues
- Walk from many rooms and public areas to the station — luggage-friendly access
| Tip | Why use it |
|---|---|
| Avoid rush-hour traffic | Faster north–south travel than driving on Las Vegas Blvd at peak times |
| Buy tickets ahead | Check monorail website or app for passes and schedules to save time |
| Ask concierge | Westgate staff can point to the station entrance and nearest platform |

Shuttle services — included and where they go
A complimentary shuttle service to the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown is included in the mandatory resort fee; confirm routes and pick-up points with the front desk or concierge at check-in.
Shuttle service can be handy for short transfers when you don’t want to drive or wait for ride-share; frequency and exact stops can vary, so ask staff for the current schedule.
- Shuttle included with resort fee — verify pick-up location at the lobby
- Useful for short trips to major nearby areas (Strip, Downtown)
- Not a substitute for high-frequency public transit; plan ahead for show or meeting times
| What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Pick-up/drop-off location | Shuttle may load at a designated curb or lobby area |
| Operating hours | Times can change with demand and events |
| Capacity / timing during conventions | Shuttle may be busier during convention center events |

Walking — short distances to the Convention Center and nearby casinos
Westgate is adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center and about one block east of the Strip; the Convention Center is typically a 5–10 minute walk depending on your pace and where you’re headed in the complex.
Nearby walking destinations noted by the property include Circus Circus, Sahara Las Vegas and the Adventuredome; use comfortable shoes and be mindful of Las Vegas heat in summer months.
- Las Vegas Convention Center: roughly 5–10 minutes on foot
- Circus Circus: about a 10-minute walk
- Sahara and Adventuredome: roughly a 15-minute walk
| Nearby on foot | Approx. walk time |
|---|---|
| Las Vegas Convention Center | 5–10 minutes |
| Circus Circus / Adventuredome | About 10–15 minutes |
| Sahara Las Vegas | About 15 minutes |
Driving and parking — what to expect
Westgate offers covered self-parking and valet parking with in/out privileges. Different sources list varying fees for parking, so confirm rates and current policies at the front desk when you arrive.
If you plan to drive to destinations off the Strip (day trips to Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon), the hotel’s location near Paradise Road makes highway access straightforward.
- Covered self-parking and covered valet available with in/out privileges
- Third-party sources list a self-parking fee of USD 10/day and valet at USD 20/day; the property has at times listed free self-parking — verify at check-in
- Bring your parking questions to the front desk or bell desk for the latest info
| Parking option | Reported fee (confirm at check-in) |
|---|---|
| Covered self-parking | Reported USD 10/day (verify) |
| Covered valet parking | Reported USD 20/day (verify) |
| Property-listed notice | Some property pages have shown free self-parking — check at arrival |
Ride-hailing, taxis and public buses
Ride-hailing apps and taxis are widely available in Las Vegas; ask the concierge for a recommended pickup point at the hotel curb to ensure a smooth meet-up with your driver.
RTC public buses and other regional transit options operate around the Strip area; if you’re planning a longer trip (for example, to Lake Mead or state parks), check routes and schedules as those trips often require transfers or a tour operator.
- Use the hotel curb or designated pick-up area for app rides to minimize wait and confusion
- For trips to Lake Mead or other outer destinations, public transit options are limited — consider tours or driving
- Ask concierge about morning or late-night pickups during events or conventions
| Option | Good for |
|---|---|
| Ride-hailing / taxi | Door-to-door convenience, evenings and off-hours |
| RTC buses | Local travel on scheduled routes; less convenient for remote day trips |
| Hotel shuttle | Short transfers to Strip and Downtown when available |
Tips for getting around during conventions and peak events
When big conventions are in town or major events happen at the Las Vegas Convention Center, expect heavier demand for shuttles, ride-hailing and valet. Allow extra time to travel to and from convention sessions or scheduled shows.
If you need consistent timing (for meetings or panels), plan arrivals earlier than the published start time and confirm transportation options with the front desk the day before.
- Confirm shuttle and concierge pickup times the day before your event
- Allow extra travel time for ride-hailing during large conventions
- Consider walking short distances to nearby venues to avoid vehicle congestion
| Advance action | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Ask concierge about peak-hour plans | They can suggest best travel windows and alternatives |
| Book ride-hailing early | Reduces wait times when demand spikes |
| Use the Monorail for predictable north–south movement | Avoids surface-traffic delays along Las Vegas Blvd |
