There is no rail; the airport shuttle, taxis, monorail-shuttle hybrid and rideshare handle the volume. Convention-week demand spikes (CES in January, NAB in April, Magic Apparel in February) push fares 2–3× their normal levels. Tuesday and Wednesday departures and arrivals are routinely the cheapest.
