These blogs will be

updated monthly to provide riders with the most recent opportunities for their travels on the Las Vegas Monorail. The Monorail will also encourage guest bloggers to share their Vegas tips and experiences as well.

The site features a responsive design, making it easy to use the site for information and ticket purchasing on virtually any device, so customers can reference the Vegas insider tips and even take advantage of web specials to purchase tickets even if they’ve already arrived in Las Vegas.

As part of the initial launch, visitors are asked to explore the website and provide feedback at http://www.lvmonorail.com/contact-us/ in return for a special discount code on their next ticket purchase.
