Where Palace Station sits and how that affects travel

Using taxis and rideshares around Las Vegas
Taxis and rideshares are the most direct way to reach the Strip, downtown Fremont Street, AREA15, or Allegiant Stadium from Palace Station. Because Palace Station sits just off I‑15, travel times are usually short by car; allow extra time during event traffic or peak hours.
If you’re headed to the Strip for sightseeing, expect a quick 5–15 minute trip depending on your exact destination and current traffic conditions. For events at Allegiant Stadium or large conventions, factor in heavier traffic and longer drop‑off or pickup waits.
- Best for door‑to‑door trips to the Strip, Convention Center, AREA15, Allegiant Stadium
- Use rideshare apps or the taxi stand by the hotel entrance
- Allow extra travel time during big events or evening peak hours
| Trip | Typical time by car |
|---|---|
| To Las Vegas Strip | About 4–15 minutes |
| To Allegiant Stadium | About 9 minutes |
| To AREA15 / Omega Mart | About 5 minutes |
