The Las Vegas Monorail offers a convenient and efficient way to navigate the Strip, but can it also be used to transport dogs? According to the Monorail’s official guidelines, only properly harnessed and trained service animals accompanying persons with disabilities are permitted in stations and on trains.
This means that pets, including emotional support animals that do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are not allowed on the Monorail. Service animals are defined by the ADA as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
If you’re traveling with a service dog, ensure they are properly harnessed during the ride. All Monorail stations are equipped with accessible elevator services, and there is level boarding from the platform to the trains, making it accommodating for passengers with service animals.
For those without service animals, it’s essential to make alternative arrangements for your pets to keep them out of the heat as you move around the Strip. Las Vegas offers various pet-friendly transportation options including ride-sharing services like Uber and taxis that’ll allow dogs.
