We had not been to Union Station in many years but came up from San Diego for a day trip on Olvera Street. I never paid any attention before on the beautiful architecture inside so here are a few photos for you have never been there.

It's always a pleasure visiting Union station. It's like a nostalgic walk through history. I've always entered on the front side of the street which I think is Alameda street. This time I entered from the south side and it was quite a surprise. I didn't know it had been upgraded like that. This beautiful works of art, fountains, and the aquarium really blew me away. I would really love to go on a tour through that station one of these days. Definitely one of America's hidden jewels. As always there is a small problem with homeless people and some mentally ill. I realize that's hard to combat in a public place like that. But they have plenty of security and the service personnel are really on task. Navigating and directions were breeze.

Security always power tripping on people over petty stuff. They have the seating areas barricaded and give you a hassle just to sit down. If you need to wait over night for your train or bus they will just kick you out in the cold while other stations around the country don’t close. There’s not even a spot to charge your phone in the waiting area and if you find one around the building they will start harassing you saying you cannot charge your device. Go to Union Station in Los Angeles if you want to be treated like a sub-humanπŸ’―

Beautiful renovation of tiles and interior. Classic beauty of an era gone by. Love the study in color and graceful architecture. Fun to see in person.

Hello Ms. Sao, Most trains to Las Vegas depart from Amtrak Metrolink Station - 7724 Van Nuys Blvd. Prices start from $59.95. I believe you can also take a train from Union Station to San Bernardino and then a bus to the Vegas Strip. Those are 2 options that I know of, but there may be others that I'm not aware of.

It depends what kind of transportation you're coming in on. The buses drop off in the back the new section and I believe Uber and Lyft drops off in the front on Alameda the old section. What exactly are you trying to do?

There is not a direct service from here by train. You have to take Subway purple or red line to 7th street metro center station, then change to blue line. Right now blue line is under repair, so service is given up to 103rd street. At june 1st, the northern part Will close. A shuttle bus service paralell to blue line is set for temporal replacement. So the train is for one part of the ride and you have to change to a bus. Blue line Will be fully operational until September.
