Getting Around

Transportation from Venetian Expo to Nightlife

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

The most convenient option. Most nightclubs are a 5-15 minute ride from Venetian Expo. During convention weeks, expect slightly longer wait times and surge pricing around 10-11 PM. The designated rideshare pickup areas are well-marked at all major venues.

Free Limo (Strip Clubs)

Las Vegas Monorail

The monorail runs along the east side of the Strip, connecting MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris, Flamingo, Harrah's/The LINQ, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. It's a great option if your nightclub is at one of these hotels. Single rides are $5; day passes are $13.

Walking the Strip

If your hotel is on the Strip and your nightclub is nearby, walking is a perfectly viable option. Most major nightclubs are inside casino-hotels. Just be aware that distances can be deceiving — what looks like a short walk on a map can easily take 20-30 minutes with pedestrian bridges and casino floor-throughs.
