SEMA Show Transportation Guide
Options for Getting to and From the Convention Center
By SEMA Editors
SEMA Showgoers are encouraged to use hotel shuttles and the Las Vegas Monorail to get to and from the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, as parking will be impacted by construction at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) during the event. Free hotel shuttle service will be available to and from the LVCC and more than 45 hotels, and discounted tickets are available to Showgoers for the Monorail, which will operate at extended hours during SEMA Show week.
Monorail
The monorail is a great option for getting to the SEMA Show each day. Trains arrive every 4–8 minutes and will begin operation at 6:00 a.m. on SEMA Show days (Tuesday–Friday, November 2–5).
There are seven stations along the Las Vegas Monorail route. With a total of nine running trains, one train arrives at each station every few minutes.
The extended Show hours are:
- Monday, November 1: 6:00 a.m.–12:00 a.m.
- Tuesday, November 2–Thursday, November 4: 6:00 a.m.–2:00 a.m.
- Friday, November 5: 6:00 a.m.–3:00 a.m.
Stations:

- Bally’s/Paris Station
- Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station
- Harrah’s/The LINQ Station
- Las Vegas Convention Center Station
- Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino Monorail Station

Look for Monorail kiosks throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center and at participating hotels to purchase discounted tickets. Showgoers can save money and purchase discounted multi-day Monorail passes. For more information, call 702-699-8200.
