Shuttle Route & Schedule

  • Our resort shuttle will run from Emerald Desert to the nearest official Stagecoach shuttle pickup/drop-off location, which is: Corner of Frank Sinatra Dr. & Cook St. (by Applebee’s)
  • The shuttle will also pick guests up from that location and return them to the resort.
  • The shuttle will run from 2pm – 5pm going to pick-up/drop off area 
  • Shuttles will operate on a continuous loop from 10:00 PM until the final return at 3:00 AM.
  • Guests are still responsible for purchasing their own Stagecoach shuttle passes through the festival.
  • Our resort shuttle does not replace the Stagecoach shuttle—it only transports guests to and from the official pickup/drop-off point.
  • The resort shuttle is included in the BAR rate for all guests staying with us that weekend.

Why the Change
We’ve adjusted our transportation approach this year because Stagecoach places significant restrictions on independent shuttles, making direct transportation to the venue inefficient and unreliable. This new setup allows us to provide a smoother, more consistent experience for our guests while staying within festival guidelines.
