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 vehicles, taxis and buses in the early evening, but Monorail riders will still be able to reach their party destinations in 15 minutes or less, with non-stop 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.”
