South of the circuit but connected by Monorail to the center — very handy for race nights.
About the South Strip
The South Strip runs from MGM Grand and New York-New York down to Mandalay Bay, with Excalibur and Luxor in between. It's home to some of the biggest resorts in the world, T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium.
Use the Monorail from MGM Grand or the free Excalibur–Luxor–Mandalay Bay tram; rideshare is straightforward away from the closures.
