I took the bus from New Vegas (the Strip) to Old Vegas (Fremont Street). It is a very economical way to get up and down the strip. It costs $6 for 32hours or $8 for 24 hours. It is very affordable if you plan on going up and down the strip. Getting a pass was easy. I did it on my phone while I waited for the bus. It took me less than 5 minutes to do. You can use your pass on your phone, Apple watch, credit/debit card, or physical pass. I used my phone. If you are going to use that option, just make sure you have enough battery to last. I did not feel unsafe on my rides, but there was no police presence on board. They do, however, have video monitoring on the buses. Fortunately, I never needed to see the reaction time on any of my trips. The bus was relatively clean. And I will be the first to admit that there are some very interesting people who ride the bus. The buses are ADA-compliant and have wheelchair lifts. The route is pretty much straight and can easily be followed using your map application of choice. I enjoyed my rides on the Deuce. It got me where I needed to be and saved me tons of money. If you have a little time to get to where you are going and do not need a direct route. I would highly consider this transportation option.

Screens showing upcoming stops were streamlined, simple, and perfect for visitors. The public transit busses are wrapped with perforated vinyl ads on the sides, including windows, so this isn't a sightseeing bus (nor is it meant to be), but as a cheap, clean, simple way to get around, we found the RTC system to be wonderful. Some of the bus stops had actual benches, and others only had slanted metal strips about the shpae of a 2X4, to lean against. Not only are they less than useful as seats, if they're in the sun they can get very hot.

Better and cheaper way of getting around. Cabs are ridiculously expensive. The private shuttles also cost a lot more. It's possible to buy tickets for this at any of the transportation centers. There's also many bus stops that have machines. It's a part of the local bus system, the RTC which goes all around the city. Your bus ticket can be used on any route. One day tickets are $8. You can get three days for $20. It begins at the South Strip Terminal close to the airport. The route goes all the way to downtown and Fremont. You can use your ticket to get on the Deuce or any other route.

I live in Las Vegas and, on days that I don't feel like driving, I try to use the SDX (Strip &…read moreDowntown Express) as a faster alternative to the Deuce for Strip and Downtown traveling. The SDX and the Deuce generally run the same route. However, the SDX is faster than the Deuce because it makes less stops, ticket purchases must be done prior to boarding, and proof of purchase is not required to get on. The SDX is a twin trailer, single level bus which is immediately distinguishable from the doubl -decker Deuce bus. It's tickets are the same as the Deuce: $6 for 2 hours, $8 for 24 hours, and $20 for 3 days, good on any Vegas bus. Unlike the Deuce, though, the SDX employs an off-board fare-only policy: Prior to boarding, you have have already bought your ticket, usually at a ticket vending machine (TVM). Tickets cannot be purchased on an SDX bus itself. This speeds up the boarding process, as there are no boarding delays from passengers inserting money in the fare box. TVMs are at most SDX and Deuce stops. Tickets can also be purchased by mail prior to your Las Vegas trip, but no one I know does this, as the TVMs are plentiful and easy to use. In addition, proof of ticket purchase is not required to board the SDX, so riders can board on any of the three sets of doors on the SDX without running their tickets through the scanner in the fare box or showing their tickets to the bus driver. This makes boarding much faster on the SDX. In contrast, boarding the Deuce requires entrance at the front door only, with riders having to scan their tickets or purchasing them at the fare box. Don't be a fare jumper on the SDX, however, as you may incur a fine if caught riding without a ticket! Since the drivers on the SDX do not generally interact with boarding passengers, there are fewer delays caused by passengers asking them questions. If you do have any questions, the RTC (Regional Transportation Committee of Southern Nevada) has "ambassadors" at numerous bus stops who can assist you, and they are recognizable by their uniforms. In addition, fellow bus passengers may also answer your questions, especially if they are locals. Also, the SDX stops at the North and South Las Vegas Premium Outlets, while the Deuce does not. The SDX even goes to the South Strip Transfer Terminal (SSTT) on Gilespie, in the vicinity of McCarran airport. From the SSTT, a ten minute ride on Route 109 will take you directly to McCarran International Airport However, the fewer stops on the SDX means it is unsuited for short distance travel. For example, for a short bus ride, say, from Caesar's Palace to Treasure Island, the SDX won't work because it just doesn't have a stop in this interval. In such an instance, taking the Deuce (or hiring a taxi or simply walking) would be your better option. On the other hand, on a long haul such as a bus ride from Downtown to Mandalay Bay, the SDX would be for you. Furthermore, less stops also means it is more difficult to get on an SDX bus. There have been several times when I got on a Deuce bus because I simply could not locate an SDX stop. In contrast, Deuce bus stops are ubiquitous on the Strip and easy to find. In a traffic jam, the SDX's advantages disappear, as it gets stuck along with the Deuce in the same vehicular congestion on Las Vegas Blvd., which seems to occur every Friday night and much of Saturday. During these times, it may be better to just walk on the Strip. One time, I was on that other bus (Deuce) on a Saturday night, and it was so slow that I just got off at the next stop and walked to my destination. Overall, I like the SDX bettter than the Deuce, because it is faster and more efficient. The Deuce is sometimes slow and lumbering in comparison, and, as such, it as been disparaged by several Yelpers as "The Douche." In summary, hooray for the SDX, which is a useful alternative to the Deuce!

It is safer and with all kinds of traffic on the road currently it is a blessing. The bus station has plenty of security which are both guards and police keeping everyone in line and to answer any kinds of questions. There is also security when going into the bathroom so one is safe there too. I am a local here in LV so if you purchase tickets off the strip then one can purchase an all day pass for adults and children for 5.00. This pass is good for 24 hour period. So save that pass if one purchases one they are good the next day. The station here is open 24 hours so a plus if need use restroom on the bus too.

It has all the benefits of light rail including prepaid boarding, level boarding, dedicated rights-of-ways, etc without the high costs associated with vehicles and track. The ACE Gold Line serves the Las Vegas Convention Center, Downtown Las Vegas, and the Las Vegas Strip. The system runs on its own dedicated right-of-way in downtown, while on the strip it shares the road with other vehicles. Because of this, the vehicles are bound to get bogged down on Las Vegas Blvd. when the Strip becomes a proverbial parking lot. With high frequency, relatively high speeds, and well marked, well lit stations, the ACE Gold Line is a welcomed mass transit option for Las Vegas!

Anyways, if I have to go around the strip, I prefer taking this over the Deuce when possible. It does not go to every casino like the Deuce, but that's the point for me. I like to spend as little time as possible in the normally crowded hotbox. I am normally heading down to Cosmopolitan so it works for me. It stops at Fashion Show/ Wynn, Bellagio/Paris, Excalibur/MGM, Mandalay Bay in the "core" of the strip, so it's not the best for most tourist, but this is a better way to get to the fringes like going down to Town Square, Las Vegas Outlets, heading up to Stratosphere, Downtown or Premium Outlets. Since it doesn't have as many strip stops as Deuce, then you'll get to the other things a bit faster. Just a note if you happen to be at Fashion Show and getting on the bus there, go walk to the Spring Mtn side by Neiman Marcus/Macys and get a bus pass there and come back onto the LV Blvd side to grab this or the Deuce. Since that services residential routes, it has passes at the regular prices and not the strip/tourist price. $3 2 hour passes and $5 all day passes. BTW, unlike the Deuce where the driver is out in the open who you can ask questions to and there is a payment machine on board, this is not set up the same. The driver is sealed behind glass and cannot be bothered and you use the prepaid stations at the stops and be ready to board quickly. If you don't know where you are going, there are maps on the bus route and often RTC ambassadors on the strip stops.

I was in an air conditioned Tesla in approximately 5 minutes. The ambassadors greeted me and inquired about my destination, directing me to the appropriate line for my destination (to the West hall). Each car has a driver that drives/is present for any emergencies. Once underground, the drivers were pretty engaging and informed us to fasten our seatbelts as we went thru different parts of the tunnel. They also were a little chatty and told us about a few tidbits of different areas in the tunnels. There were different access areas--any area within the Las Vegas Convention Center was free. For other adjacent properties--Westgate, Encore, Resorts World--there is a small cost to travel to and from these properties The close time also varies, based on the events going on. The drive time itself was probably around 2 minutes and a time and leg-saver. Definitely will take advantage of this service in the future. For those involved, it was a great experience and one that I would at least want to experience. Good job!
