The Deuce Double Decker Bus - Las Vegas Strip website provides comprehensive information about the schedules, fares, route maps and photos of the buses.
The Deuce is a city bus that travels from the Downtown - Fremont Street area to the south end on the Strip and back again.
There are stops along the way near most of the major casinos, and at the Las Vegas Discount Mall.
The Deuce is also a cheap way to get to the airport's Car Rental Hub at the south end of the route (drops off right in front of the car rental complex) should you want to rent a car.
You can also use your Deuce pass on other city buses.
The good things about it:
- It is relatively cheap, with a 24-hour pass costing $5; pay on the bus (exact change only, please).
- You can get on and off along the way and use it to skip from casino to casino
- It is a double decker and the view from the top is very cool.
- It is heated and air conditioned.
- A leisurely trip, if you have the time, but not if you are in a hurry.
Bad things about it:
- It is slow, sometimes painfully so, because it travels down congested Las Vegas Boulevard a/k/a the Strip.
- It is also very hard to board mid-strip so try to board at either side of the strip near the North or South ends; you can get on quicker. Otherwise it passes you by because it is already full.
- If going downtown, count on a trip of up to an hour.
Where to catch it:
- Downtown on the corner of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard; the stop is designated.
- On the Strip, at designated stops, but some may be closed due to construction.
- At the downtown Transit Center where it starts - no crowds and plenty of seats if you get on there!
If you're a frequent visitor to Las Vegas and age 65 or older whose visits are for more than 4 days at a time, go to the Downtown Transit Center and apply for a Senior Transit ID Card. You will receive it in your mail at home within 10 days. Then, the next time you're in Vegas, go to the Transit Center and pay $20 for a Senior monthly pass (if you stay more than 4 days, it will save you money). Or, show the Senior ID on the Deuce and other buses and pay half fare.
