Transportation in Las Vegas

Getting around in Las Vegas is pretty easy. You can take a taxi , hop on the trolley , ride the monorail, catch a bus or even rent a car. If you're on a limited budget, however, then you'll save a lot by taking the trolley or a CAT bus.

The CAT bus that runs down the Strip is called the Deuce. A one way fare on the Deuce is currently $2. However, if you plan to take several rides on the bus, you can save a lot of money if you buy an all-day pass for $5. You can use it for unlimited rides for the day. You can also get a one month pass if you plan to be in Vegas that long. See fares and schedule for the Deuce here. The Deuce is pretty good but when traffic builds up on the Strip it may not be the best option for you. That's when you should consider the trolley.

The trolley is faster than the Deuce because it runs behind the casinos instead of on the Strip so it won't get caught up in endless traffic. It has 3 routes that cover the strip and downtown areas. The only drawback? Wooden seats. Ouch! However, unless you plan to ride around on it all day this shouldn't be much of a problem. Check out the trolley fares and schedule here.

Now, if you want totally free rides, then look into the free shuttle services offered by several casinos. They are very convenient if you plan your stops well. Enjoy your visit!
