Las Vegas
Free Transportation
Free Transportation
On your own, you can get around Las Vegas quite well for free if you are
willing to mould your schedule to that of the shuttle bus service. If you are
staying on the South or Center Strip, the center of the Las Vegas Universe, you
can travel everywhere by foot or monorail.
First, let's get out of the airport. The Station casinos,
Palace
Station,
Sunset
Station,
Texas
Station, and
Boulder
Station offer an extensive airport to hotel shuttle service. This service is
for registered guests only. You can find the individual schedules here:
Boulder Station Casino,
Texas Station Casino,
Palace Station Casino,
Sunset Station Casino
Vacation Village, the Showboat,
and the Westward Ho will also bus you to their casinos, if you are a registered
guest. Many of the other casinos will arrange transportation from the airport,
especially if you are known to them. If you have cultivated a relationship with
a particular casino, or slot host, you should be able to get them to commit to
picking you up at the airport when you make your reservation.
The Station casinos,
Palace
Station,
Sunset Station, Texas Station, and Boulder Station, run the most extensive system of shuttle buses. I guess they have
to because of their location, but, they will haul anybody, no questions asked.
The Palace Station shuttle runs between the casino,
The Tropicana,
and the Fashion Show Mall. Check the
online schedule.
The Boulder Station shuttle runs between the casino, the Sunset Station, the
Fashion Show Mall, and the Sunset Station. Check the
online schedule.
One of the best great free transport deals in Las Vegas runs from the South
Strip to the Center Strip. Every five minutes the monorail whisks passengers
between MGM
Grand and Bally's. There is no long wait, its not too crowded, and best of all, IT'S
FREE.
Sam's Town
Casino runs a shuttle from the
Hotel San
Remo to Sam's starting at 9:45am and running every hour until 10:45pm. It
runs from Sam's to the San Remo every hour starting at 9:15am, until 10:15pm.
The Fiesta
runs an irregularly scheduled shuttle to and from the Fashion Show Mall. Contact
the casino for the current schedule. The
Hard Rock
runs an hourly shuttle to the Stardust, Fashion Show Mall, MGM Grand, then back
to the Hard Rock.
Sam's Town
runs a fleet of shuttles that travels to the Stardust, Bourbon Street, Hotel San
Remo, California downtown, Fashion Show Mall, and Harrah's. Check directly with
the casino
for routes and schedules.
The Coast casinos also run a shuttle service between their casinos: the
Orleans, the
Barbary
Coast, and the
Gold Coast.
Contact the casino for the current schedule. Mandalay Bay runs a free public
tramway running between its properties,
Excalibur
and Mandalay
Bay. It stops at the
Luxor on the
way back north. It runs every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
A free tram also runs between
Bellagio and the
Monte Carlo,
which is a good thing because it is very difficult to access the Monte Carlo on
foot.
A lot of people rent cars in Las Vegas and this is actually the preferred
option. Rates are very good and many times you will be able to find deals for a
free third day after you pay for the first two. Most rental agreements offer
unlimited mileage. Driving in Las Vegas is not that difficult. Although the
locals complain bitterly about jammed traffic I find driving in Las Vegas no
worst than driving in Detroit or any other major mid western city. Don't be
afraid to rent a car, it is inexpensive and will give you the most mobility.
