Las Vegas Monorail

Wooo! You can ride the Las Vegas Monorail to Lovers & Friends, well, sort of. Hop on the Monorail and get off at the SAHARA Las Vegas Station. From there, you’re gonna walk across the Monorail pedestrian bridge (across Paradise Ave). Next, walk through the SAHARA and then cross Las Vegas Blvd to enter festival grounds. Eeasy peasy.

Uber/LYFT

Lovers & Friends Set Times Have Been Released

This is definitely a good idea for getting to Lovers & Friends. Just tell your driver to drop you off at 810 Circus Circus Drive, at the south end of the Festival Grounds. It’s the official rideshare drop-off for Lovers & Friends and is located across the street from Circus Circus Hotel.

Pro Tip: Due to intermittent closure of Westbound Circus Circus Dr., you’re gonna want to take Sammy Davis Dr. to get to 810 Circus Circus Dr.

More Pro Tips: If you plan to take an Uber or Lyft home (or to the afterparty), do not try getting an Uber directly from the Festival Grounds. You will have absolutely no luck and end up mad and frustrated. Instead, walk to some of the surrounding hotels, casinos, or restaurants and call Uber or Lyft from there. See our closest hotels list above.

Lovers & Friends festival will take place on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The festival gates will open at 11 AM and close at midnight. Plan accordingly.

Tickets to Lovers & Friends are sold out, but you can snag some via VividSeats or StubHub. Prepare to pay more, though.
