    Although we do have a good amount of people that drive into Las Vegas, majority of our visitors come by plane and choose not to rent a car. Personally I can't imagine being in Las Vegas without a car, but so many tourists do it time and time again. I do get asked directions a lot, and I get it, during the summer it's the worse to have to walk from one casino to the other. So I made a video to help you guys out on how to get around Las Vegas without a car. We're going to be getting on the Monorail, Downtown Loop, The Deuce Bus, and 3 different trams that will include Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, Crystals, Aria, Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. There's still going to be a bit of walking, we can't escape that. Have fun!

    I've been in vegas multiple times and I never used car once. It's just amazing experience to walk the strip without driving it, when I get tired I take break and sit somewhere in one of the hotel or use the monorail or tram to get me back to my hotel.

    • @SportsBoss999

      What most people don't know is there are car rental places at Treasurer Island (Hertz and Dollar I believe) that you can use if you need a car just for a couple of days of your trip (say to go to Red Rock or another place further away from the Strip). You simply bring the car back there. Beats the hassle of that damn car rental location near, but not at, the airport. Like you said, if you're just gonna be on the Strip there's no need to incur the expense of a car. Much easier using the transportation Norma mentioned.

    The deuce used to be fast. We just went 2 weeks ago , and now it is overly packed , I think more stops were added and now takes longer to go from the strip to Freemont st. Also , it doesn't always come every 15min. Sometimes we waited around 45-50min for the next bus. We lost alot of time waiting on the deuce overall

      @Cute Intellect - I live 3.5 hours away from Vegas and I visit once a month...RENT A CAR! There are places to visit outside of Las Vegas city limits that you may want to visit. You don't want to be taking a bus and getting off in scary neighborhoods. Also, in August the temperature could average about 115 degrees Fahrenheit so you don't want to be at bus stops or railway stops outside.

    • @professorvegas
      @professorvegas 3 года назад +2

      If it's your 1st time I would not rent a car. Rentals and parking are super expensive and as Norma points out there are lots of alternatives ways of getting around. You could plan for one-day car rental if you were planning on venturing beyond the strip to downtown area. Also, you may want to check out TURO for car-rental alternatives to the usual airport suspects if you and your fella decide on getting the car.

    • @ashleighelizabeth5916

      The one thing that sucks about renting a car is that almost all of the Strip resorts now charge for parking. Some people will say it's only a few bucks but it really adds up over time. If you want to go to Red Rock or to areas off the strip that aren't downtown by all means get a car. Just keep in mind the parking fees and the terrible traffic on the Strip.

    My plan as an aspiring future local was to avoid the Strip especially since some of these videos tell me how the parking situation is NYC level but even as a non gambler, it looks like there are some cool spots to visit on occasion, not to mention if I was visiting friends in town, so it looks like the best strategy would be to drive to a bus depot (or better yet just take an Uber or Lyft to the bus depot...or walk I guess if ultimately get a place within waling distance since I do want to live near UNLV and I'm sure there's a bus depot near there) and then ride to the Strip or Downtown (which I might do just to do my pizza tour) and take the downtown loop or the monorail. I clocked some time on the bus in Las Vegas over the Summer a few years ago and for what it's worth, it is better than the bus in Reno, which is not a high standard but.... The point is, I'm not a big drinker either, but in case I did have any adult beverages, I think this strategy would be the most responsible way to go too, not to mention just avoiding the headache of parking in a big city. Whenever I visit San Francisco, I take the BART from Concord, or Oakland and I wish I had done something like that and taken the Subway when I was in NYC. Driving & parking in that city is insane! Thank you for another great video!

    Getting around the Strip/Downtown areas in Las Vegas is becoming more of a hassle, unless you want to pay/tip for valet. Even if you drive to their parking lots, it's still a walk to the casino areas, plus more casinos are charging for parking. For the past few years, I just get a daily bus pass and leave the driving headaches for others.

    The Las Vegas monorail brings the MGM in reach of the convention center. Treasure Island - Mirage monorail is great to avoid the heat to transport between properties. The ARIA express to get from Bellagio, Crystals, and Aria, to enjoy Eatly at Park MGM. The Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor monorails, help avoid to the heat and minimizes walking to Mandalay Bay. They are free but can be closed at the most convenient time like Sunday and Holidays, you will still do alot of walking.

    The monorail price is insane for the service of 7 stops at inconvenient locations kind of far away from casino entrances. It's only useful for the convention center. Normally, streetcars that short are free in downtown areas across the US. However, the Deuce bus is well worth it so you can explore other Vegas hot spots like Fremont St and the Arts district.

    Great tips in the video. October 2021: just spent a week in Vegas. Stayed @ Circa on Freemont and toured the strip a couple days. The Deuce was the way to go, cost is still $8 / 24hr for non-residents. Construction on the strip is pretty much done for now, but there was construction downtown that caused a couple stops to close with detours that are not noted in the app. The folks at RTC call center didn't seem to have a clue either which stops were active and which not. Freemont @ 4th *IS* active Northbound. More of the Southbound stops are closed around Freemont, but it's just fine to hop a Northbound bus and jump on the next bus ahead at The Mob Museum if your driver takes a break (they will tell you).
    Due to labor shortage, The Deuce busses are running about every 30 or so minutes, but sometimes arrive in clumps (2 at a time) then nothing for 45+ minutes.
    Between downtown and the airport, Uber was the way to go for us (about $30 each way before tip, but prices varied dynamically real time by the minute between about $25-$40 depending on time of day and user demand).

    Good useful tips on getting around. The only drawback of the monorlal is some of the places where you get off are quite inconvenient. You have quite a walk from the back of these casinos. Some stops, though, are very good - especially at the Westgate which is a bit off-strip but convenient to get to via the monorail. Just my 2 cents. Great video Norma!

    Thanks for your awesome vids and for Vessi!! Just ordered a pair and can't wait. The Deuce is hilarious at night but can get super packed with the driver having to constantly yell at people to not go up the down stairs, and vice versa which is funny when it's tourists who don't have a great grasp of English..but it's a great way to get from the Strip to Fremont. Have ridden it often over the years.

    The monorail isnt the best way, because it's so far away from the casinos. They used to have a strip and downtown express, but they discontinued that. The Deuce is decent, but it's not very reliable. Also, I never knew the loop served the Stratorsphere (can't stand name changes)..
    A note on fares: Premium fares is only charged for tourists riding the Deuce. If you're not riding the DEUCE or you are a local, you don't pay the premium fare, although if you board a local bus and are planning on riding the deuce later, you can purchase the premium fare on the local bus.

    For the past 4 years (last one is 2019) I attended the SEMA Show as media.....When my asst rented a car (the first year I went to Vegas) we would go to the LV speedway and parking was a zoo....Then, when he drove to find parking nearby the LVCC (conv. center) the lot was 1/2 full but the walk from there to the center was way long! Also, the drive can be very hazardous....unlike where I am from, the driving can be nasty. So for the next 3 years later, I tried taking the bus system (to and from)....the monorail (after SEMA ended for the night)....and the cost savings is GREAT! (unlike catching a taxi or UBER). I did the "end to end" walk from Mandalay Bay to the other side of the strip and it was great exercise! I also went from the north side to south side of Fremont Street which was great also but a bit of caution, when you go to the area where this older hotel still stands and opposite, that big propane operated locust statue is, you probably will have to watch your back a bit more. BTW....Norma is tempting me to go to Vegas SO BAD!!! Once covid hit the US, we all are quarantined and trapped in our homes!! Now, my city is slowly getting back to normal BUT I hear LV is still kinda like 50-50.....so despite my 2 shots, I dont want to travel yet to Vegas.

    Great ideas….last several times, I’ve taken the City Bus FROM the airport, connected to the Deuce at the South terminal, and gotten to my hotels faster than when I used to rent cars. With the rideshare prices and delays, your ideas are very helpful. When I’ve gone Back to the airport, I’ve taken the Deuce to Gillespie gotten off and hopped on the RentACar center bus. Thanks for your great video.

    Since I NEVER stay on the Strip or Downtown, I always rent a car. I stay and play at the outlying casinos like, South Point, Sam's Town and Sunset Station. The busses on the Strip are jam-packed with people literally touching one another. I remember a bus taking over an hour to get from the Strip to downtown. No longer. I'd rather be waterboarded than take public transportation.

    Several years ago, I used to take the DEUCE from FREMONT ST to THE STRIP but I stopped because coming back to Fremont Street, the buses were always packed and more often than not, the buses would not stop to pick me up. In order to get on the DEUCE back to Fremont, I had to walk all the way to Circus-Circus in order to catch an empty bus. Now, it's more convenient to drive my car and park at Planet Hollywood or at the Venetian for FREE!

    I quickly learned all the casino shortcuts when trying to get to monorail stops. The worst is trying to get the monorail from a convention in the Sands. Through the Venetian, down the street, through Harrah's, then I get stuck staying at the MGM, so through that casino as well.
    Great footwear is the greatest tip before plenty of water for Vegas.

    Although we love to walk, we've taken advantage of the trams, monorail, buses (both Deuce & LTC although the former is slower since there's more stops) and on occasions, taxis.......when my wife wants to go to the shopping outlet.....lol. We've been to Vegas about 15 times (maybe more) and I do recall on three visits we've rented a car with the last time being quite a few years ago. In reality, you don't need one unless you plan to visit outside of the city as there's other ways to get around the city itself. Well done Norma, thanks for the vid!
