Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Harry Reid International (LAS): 15–25 min off-peak. Allow road or rail time to Caesars Palace Conference Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Caesars Palace is connected to Caesars Palace Conference Center at about 240 m. The LINQ is about 670 m and Flamingo about 760 m, both walkable via the Strip. Planet Hollywood is a slightly longer Strip walk. South-Strip resorts such as Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur are better reached by rideshare, taxi or the Monorail plus a walk.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft operate across Las Vegas, including signed pickup zones at Harry Reid International (LAS) and designated rideshare areas at major Strip resorts. Expect surge pricing during large conventions and evening peak; confirm the pickup point inside your hotel or terminal before requesting a ride.
Public transit: The Las Vegas Strip is served by RTC buses, including the Deuce route along Las Vegas Boulevard. The Las Vegas Monorail connects several resort stops, including Flamingo/Caesars Palace station, but does not run directly to the airport. For Caesars Palace Conference Center, walking from Strip-centre hotels is often faster than riding; use rideshare or taxi for south-Strip resorts. Confirm current routes and fares before travel.
Parking: Caesars Palace offers self-parking and valet for guests and visitors; rates vary by day and event. Confirm current parking fees and the closest garage entrance to the conference center on the Caesars Palace or AAPL site before driving.
