Best way to get to The Sphere from The Luxor

Question

Coming from UK to see The Eagles next month. Staying at Luxor, what’s the best way to get to the Sphere? Google says 55 mins walking! Is there a bus/monorail? Any other tips re concert much appreciated🤗

Answer

Getting from the Luxor to The Sphere (also known as the MSG Sphere) is definitely possible without having to walk the full 55 minutes! Here are the best ways to get there:

1. Taxi or Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): This is probably the quickest and most convenient way to get to The Sphere from the Luxor. A taxi or rideshare will take around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic and the time of day. It's a direct, easy, and comfortable option.

2. Walking: If you're feeling up for a walk, it will take around 20-25 minutes to reach The Sphere from the Luxor. While it might be shorter than Google’s estimated 55 minutes, it’s still a bit of a trek. The walk is along the Las Vegas Strip, so it can be enjoyable with plenty of places to stop and see along the way.

3. Monorail: While there’s no direct monorail route to The Sphere, you can take the Las Vegas Monorail from the MGM Grand station (which is not far from the Luxor) and get off at the nearest station to the Sphere, such as the "The Westgate" station. However, this would still require a bit of walking or taking another ride to reach the Sphere itself. Not the most convenient option, but it's available if you like using the monorail system.

4. Bus: The RTC (Regional Transportation Commission) buses have routes that run along the Strip and can get you close to The Sphere. You’d likely need to transfer to a bus that stops near the Sphere’s area, which is around 15-20 minutes by bus. Buses are an affordable option but might take a bit longer than a taxi or rideshare.

Additional Concert Tips: Here are some other tips for your Eagles concert:

Arrive early: Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get through security and find your seats. Concerts at The Sphere are a big deal, and the venue will likely be packed.
Food and drinks: Check out food options around the venue or plan to eat beforehand. The area around The Sphere is still developing, so food options inside may be limited. There are lots of great restaurants near Luxor and throughout the Strip.
Parking: If you're driving or using a rideshare, plan for possible traffic congestion around the event times. It's usually easier to get dropped off at the venue directly rather than dealing with parking.
Stay hydrated: Las Vegas can be hot, even in the evenings, so stay hydrated and wear comfortable shoes if you're walking or standing for long periods!

Enjoy the concert, and have a fantastic time in Las Vegas!
