Where to stay for Las Vegas 2026
The track runs on the Strip itself, plus Harmon Ave, Koval Ln and Sands Ave. Many big resorts sit right on it, so the question is less "how close" and more "which side of the barriers, and how do I get out after the race".1,2
Quick answer
Pick a hotel on the track or near a monorail station. The organizer offers no event parking and recommends walking.1

The short version
Walk or ride the monorail; don't plan on driving
The organizer offers no event parking and encourages walking from nearby hotels, with rideshare points at Virgin Hotels, the Hughes Center, Tuscany and Park MGM.1
The monorail runs nonstop from Tuesday Nov 17 to early Monday Nov 23, and three of its stations sit inside the race area. A hotel near a station (SAHARA, Westgate, the Convention Center or MGM Grand) is a solid fallback.1,2
Staying on the track is convenient on foot but can mean detours by car while the track roads are closed.1 See road closures.
