Deuce on the Strip: This double-decker bus runs 24/7 along the entire Strip. It stops at most major resorts, making it popular for tourists. The Deuce offers a budget-friendly way to see the Strip, though it can run slow due to frequent stops and heavy traffic. Fares are paid onboard (exact change or card) or via the rideRTC app. Strip & Downtown Express (SDX): The SDX stands as a limited-stop express bus that connects the Strip to downtown Las Vegas, the Convention Center, and premium outlet malls. It offers a faster choice to the Deuce for these routes.
Local Routes: Beyond the Strip, the RTC maintains an extensive network of local bus routes covering the wider Las Vegas Valley. These routes prove useful for exploring areas off the Strip, like local neighborhoods, shopping centers, or attractions like the Springs Preserve. Las Vegas Monorail: This elevated train system runs along the east side of the Strip, offering a quick way to travel between seven stations. These stations sit at MGM Grand, Horseshoe/Paris Las Vegas, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah's/The LINQ, Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate, and SAHARA Las Vegas. The Monorail runs behind the resorts, so access means walking through properties from the Strip.
