Keep in mind that Las Vegas nightclubs serve alcohol and the responsible choice is always to use a designated driver, rideshare service, or the free entry offered through the NoCoverVegas guest list. If you do park, give yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes to walk from the garage through the casino to the venue entrance.

Taxis are available at every major hotel on the Strip but tend to be more expensive than rideshare for equivalent distances. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip and can be useful depending on your hotel location, though it stops running at 2:00 AM on weekends. Walking is feasible if your hotel is within one or two properties of MGM Grand, but keep in mind that distances on the Strip are deceptive and what looks close on a map can be a 15 to 20 minute walk in dress shoes or heels.
