The Las Vegas Limited was a short-lived weekend-only passenger train operated by Amtrak between Los Angeles, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was the last in series of excursion trains run by Amtrak between 1972–1976 serving the Los Angeles–Las Vegas market.

Low patronage led to the train's withdrawal after three months.

Amtrak returned to the Las Vegas market in 1979 with the Desert Wind.
