Las Vegas station (XpressWest)

Las Vegas is the planned northern terminus of the XpressWest high-speed rail service. The station site is located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, west of the Las Vegas Premium Outlets South between Robindale Road and El Dorado Lane. The two-story station will feature retail and restaurant space, areas for connecting transportation, as well as a 2400-space parking garage.[1] Construction permits were acquired in March 2020 by Brightline (then known as Virgin Trains USA) and the station is expected to open in 2023.[2]
