REVEL Mt Charleston is a point-to-point course, and as such we will bus you from the finish line to the start line. The cost of busing is included in your entry fees. You do not need to reserve a spot on the bus, as your bib is your ticket to ride. ALL PARTICIPANTS must take a bus to the start lines (you may not park at or be dropped off at the start lines).

Full Marathon buses will load and depart from 3:15 – 4:15AM. Half Marathon buses will load and depart from 3:45-4:45 AM. Please make sure that you are on time and that you get on the right bus! For additional details on the parking layout and address, refer to the Parking and Busing/Finish Area Map below.

A new option for people staying on the Las Vegas Strip is to purchase a bus ticket that picks up on the Strip and takes you directly to the start line. A return bus will depart every 30 minutes from the finish line to take you back to the Strip. Purchase your ticket here.

Because of special traffic patterns in Kyle Canyon, spectators will not be allowed on Kyle Canyon Rd (the first 21 miles of the marathon and the first 8 miles of the half marathon). We suggest that spectators stake out an area at or near the finish venue to cheer on their runners.

There is no parking at the Finish Line. Everyone (including spectators) must park at the designated race parking lots and take the free shuttle to the finish line.
