GETTING TO THE LAS VEGAS FESTIVAL GROUNDS
(Local Transportation)
Festival grounds are only accessible by walking, rideshare and Las Vegas Monorail. There is NO direct access to the festival grounds for passenger vehicles.
Rideshare / Taxi and Limousine Drop-Off
The rideshare drop off is located at 810 Circus Circus Drive, at the south end of the grounds, just across the street from Circus Circus Hotel & Resort.
Due to intermittent closure of Westbound Circus Circus Dr., make your approach to 810 Circus Circus Dr from Sammy Davis Jr Dr.
At the end of the night, we encourage festival goers to walk to surrounding hotels and casinos to utilize the existing rideshare operations for pickup. Following the show, Las Vegas Blvd will be closed to through traffic and patrons will be directed south on the Strip where you will be able to utilize existing rideshare operations.
You can get dropped off by a taxi or limousine in the Festival’s Transportation Lot located at 810 Circus Circus Dr, at the South end of the Festival Grounds, just across the street from Circus Circus Hotel & Resort. At the end of the night, there will be a taxi queue here if you would like to hop in a ride directly from the festival.
