LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Transportation is going to be a challenge for the inaugural Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the monorail will be an option for workers heading to the Strip as well as visitors and other locals attending the race.
As county officials have previously announced, the monorail will be running 24/7 from Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 a.m. to Monday, Nov. 20 at 3 a.m. LVCVA officials said trains will arrive at each station every five to 12 minutes.

Per usual policy, LVCVA officials are reminding Las Vegas locals that they will be able to buy one-way tickets for $1 by showing their Nevada identification at each of the monorail station customer service booths except the Boingo Station at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
For people visiting the valley, there will also be discounted monorail tickets that can be purchased here and downloaded to a mobile device.
