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!

If you walked, how many guys would stop and ask you if you want a ride? Lol
@@SoCalburro Because she has class and dignity, probably no guy would ask.
Love that smile❤️
with all due respect to everyone, the 2 times wifey and I went to Vegas and depended on public transit, it was a PAIN, so next time we go we will be renting a car !! besides we want to see more of the rest of the city and not the strip !
Thank you
All your videos are useful but this one takes the cake! Everyone who wants to know how to get around sin city must watch. Haha Lydia’s drunk walk was hilarious. Your hair looking golden! 🥇
Let’s just put it this way - I don’t think Hollywood is going to reach out to me anytime soon 😆
@Jaycation you're absolutely correct! Every once in awhile a Vegas UA-camr will create a useful/informative/educational video and @norma.geli hit it right outta the park ! Go Padres!
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.
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.
Monorail would have been useful if they had extended to downtown and the airport as in the original plan.
The taxi drivers would not have been too pleased.
Sayhitomatthew brought me here.. definitely will subscribe! Thanks for the comprehensive transport video! I’ll probably just end up walking to Panda Express! 😊🥰
I'm guessing the cab companies, lyft, and Uber may have had a problem with that plan!
@@ericaarseth7678 Plus the REAL taxis.
Yes! That. Also extending toward south of Vegas. Have like a subway system. Serving Goodsprings, Jean, and Prizm Outlets. They can be like part time service. Express parallel on the 15 and you would get a aerial view on the 15.
Never knew about the LOOP but I am so using it next time I visit some of the great downtown locations you have featured in past videos. THANKS
The monorail, the tram, even the deuce bus are definitely under utilized in Vegas for some odd reason. Great to see a video highlighting these available methods of public transportation. They are inexpensive and a great way to avoid sore aching feets. Also don't forget to pack your Vessi's cus you really can't escape walking. Thanks @Norma.Geli
Deuce needs less stop and criscross blvd. Route
@lasthumankind unfortunately this is absolutely true.
Perhaps you've been lucky but in my experience - in the summer anyway - the Deuce is often unpleasantly packed.
I can tell you the Deuce is not underutilized.
Like most Brits, I’m gonna party in Vegas. I often hire a car if I visit other parts of the US but no way am I driving in Vegas. (Also it’s very daunting. The strip is so busy, so many lanes wide, and I’m concentrating hard as I’m not used to driving on the right and sitting in the left seat!)
Hi Norma. I just traveled to LV and utilized the tram, monorail and deuce bus to get around. I really want to thank you for your videos which helped me know how to get around without walking everywhere. 💕😀
I am going soon, won’t be renting a car after all… Thanks Norma!
hope you had a great time!
I've been to Las Vegas a half a dozen times and have never rented a car. It is so easy to get around without one. Glad you made this vid.
Thank you :)
I've lived in Vegas for 8 years, sold my car 5 years ago... it's doable, especially if you like walking and biking.
Norma you didn’t mention some walking shortcuts.There is an underground walkway between Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. There is a walkway between Paris and Bally’s. And another shortcut of mine you can start at casino Royale and cut through harrahs,linq,flamingo to Cromwell much faster than walking the strip.
@vgshwk - if you didn't get the premise of this video, it's about Vegas transportation. The walkways are a different video of their own.
@@kevinp8108 walking isn’t transportation?
@@vgshwk TRANSPORTATION (noun): a system of vehicles, for example buses, trains, and aircraft, for getting from one place to another.
@@kevinp8108 transportation is getting from point a to b by your definition riding a horse or even a bicycle isn’t transportation.
@@vgshwk As much as you want to be correct, the vlog is about getting around Vegas via buses, monorail, and trams. Your secret walkways is entirely another vlog.
I love to research before trips, and this video cut my research down by half, at least. Thank you so much! Very nice work.
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
But remember there is the SDX the faster of the two that makes less stops between the strip and downtown . With the deuce also serving the premium outlet malls.
The SDX was canceled last year.
@@sexygeek8996 thanks for info that’s not something I was aware of with being in Scotland and unable to travel to Vegas in 2020 and so far this year due to covid restrictions
I REALLY miss the Strip and Downtown Express (502) due to this very reason...
Norma, you are a natural saleswoman! This is a welcome addition to your collection, very informative.
Excellent video Norma, it will be so helpful to many visitors to our great city!! It was nice seeing Lydia in ur vid, she’s so sweet!! You both looked fab!🤗💕
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!
Norma the magnificent as always...Thanks for the help.
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.
Norma finally a VIDEO you have done that makes good sense! Good Job!
I love the way it smells when it rains in the desert. Thank you for the heads up on the ways to get around Vegas without a car Norma and camera person. Those shoes are going to get Norma into trouble jumping into all the puddles and splashing people lol
I learned the bus routes, and if you are a senior, you can get a day pass at a discount. I just got on different buses to the end of the line, and I learned how to get to and from the airport. I lived at Sienna Suites on 6555 Boulder Hwy.
Thank you.
As someone who's going on their second trip sans car, it's doable. Unless you're doing things way outside the city, Uber and bus will get you by
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.
Great video! Thanks Norma.
We need to see and hear from the ‘cameraman’ more often. At least on the blooper reel like this one. You two are a great team!
A lot of tips are great! I get around w.o a vehicle. There are Tons of shortcuts thru places to cool down and stay out of the heat if you do choose to walk. Very informative!
I really appreciate all of your hard work and thoughtfulness that goes into each video. ❤
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).
Thanks for this info! I won’t be there anytime soon, but it’s nice to see peeps relaying this important stuff!
To us renting a car in Vegas is a MUST. We come yearly and like to drive out to Red rock once a trip.... take a cruise out to the desert and like to visit / explore at least 1 new area or place outside of the city. Plus bouncing around from downtown to the strip beats waiting for the bus. Then again... we budget for it and its our prefered method. Some can do just fine without!
Same here. I've been going to Vegas for over 20 years now and have always had a rental car. I don't even stay on the strip anymore and by doing that I get a suite for less than a regular room on the strip. Also prefer going to restaurants off the strip as less crowded and therefore no queuing to get seated. Like going out to places like Red Rock, Henderson, Summerlin, Valley of Fire State Park. Wouldn't have the freedom to do this without a car
Now this video helps out a lot, Thanks.
Been a few times to Vegas use the RTC buses a lot but know the difference between them if u are on the strip and going to Fremont (dtlv) get on the SDX the bendy bus it has less stops and should be quicker than the deuce. If u want to stop on strip at casinos use the deuce. Know your stops not every stop serves both buses either. The monorail while fast at the spine of the strip has a drawback u have to walk thru the casinos to get back onto the strip so while fast a-b and can be great when traffic is busy on strip u could get held up walking through casinos.
Thanks, Norma!!! Great information! Love that you are always smiling!!! You're the best!
Going to Las Vegas from Colorado in 2 weeks and you have the best videos around here so im watching mostly all of them lol, thanks you are doing great! Porfa sigue así no dejes nunca tus videos y si puedes visitar mas lugares y contarlos a tu estilo seria hermoso, me considero fan ahora.
I usually like to walk the Strip, but when it is hot (like my trip a few weeks ago), the Monorail is a life-saver. I usually buy a 2 -day pass.
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!
I'm def looking into free transits. I do love to walk but in August? Crazy.
Yes girl this weather is perfect. I'm not ready for the winter months.
I’m going to Las Vegas for the 1st time in almost 20 years for a conference. Since I live in NYC, walking is a must & I don’t own a car since driving is a nightmare. I find this very helpful. Thank you so much. I just with Las Vegas has a more extensive rapid transit system. The monorails & trams seemed not to have adequate coverage of the area.
Monorail issues...
Be aware that the monorail may stop for the night much earlier than publicized. For example - When we got to the MGM station at about 11.45pm on July 15th recorded announcements were playing telling us it would be stopping at midnight, with no explanation. Anyone who was still at the MGM after that time was stuck with no transport back down the Strip.
As for the Deuce...
The Deuce buses can & will drive straight past stops without picking up customers if they want to. For example, on July 14th, 2021 TWO buses - about 5.45 and 6.00pm - did just that, despite people waiting at the stop by the Venetian. Then later, trying to get the Deuce from the Fremont St area back to the Venetian by midnight was a dismal failure as well. We got to the Deuce bus stop near the Walgreens on Fremont St at about 11.00pm to see a Deuce pull away fully loaded. We waited with about 20 other people for the next one to come. 15 mins ... 30 mins... 40 mins, and still no Deuce. After about 45 mins the phone app said a Deuce was heading towards us, and the ETA countdown got down to 3 mins before changing to about 17 mins... We weren't the only ones who gave up and got Ubers... Useless.
Airport transport...
Unless your hotel has a free shuttle service, and depending on how many people are going, the fixed rate taxi option is often cheaper, and is definitely quicker, than hotel shuttles. You don't have to book in advance either.
Downtown loop from Fremont Street to Strat is free. Took it yesterday.
109 or 108 Bus from the Airport to Downtown is $2.
206 bus from DTLV to RedRock Casino.
Bus driver said you can use the local pass for the Deuce bus to save money.
Bus ticket to Los Angeles is $22 from Downtown Las Vegas.
I've walked from Fremont to the Cosmopolitan but that was in February when it's cool and comfortable.
The official rule is that only locals can use the local pass on the Deuce, but they never check.
Norma who is number one on you tube just convinced me to get Vessis! If shes recommends them, they must be the best . I’m sold ! Thanks Norma ! You’re on you way to becoming a movie star next !
That is normally the way I get around Vegas. I've not done the loop yet but will add that to my list. I also like the SDX to get from the convention centre to downtown. You can also get two for one tickets for the Monorail with My Vegas. It's cool to see the rain in Vegas. Great video as always!
They canceled the SDX last year. There is still #108 from the convention center to the downtown terminal.
After our 1st trip to LV we Always rented a car as we got around a Lot. From the strip to the Stratosphere and Downtown or South to South Point and the M. We would go West to The Orleans or way out to Red Rock. We would also hit the Palms, Rio and Gold Coast casinos. Palace Station was another favorite. East we would go to Green Valley Ranch and way out to the Wild West casino. I drove all over the place out there No Problem!
The city bus is a way to get down tropicana from the tropicana/Oyo Hotels to the UNLV Thomas and Mack center. One way is about $2. Also, shorts with sandals or flip flops are good to wear when it rains.
Love the vlog, love the out-takes, love Norma's smile!
Thanks :)
Thank you for doing these videos. I'm going to Vegas tomorrow, and you've put my worries over transportation to rest.
How was it getting around ? Going next month for the first time
@@Jdp313 The Duce was definitely best for getting to Freemont street. Thou keep in mind the drivers will not be lenient towards passengers with expired passes. And is probably not the best choice when you are on a tight schedule. The monorails run like clockwork. And will definitely help if you're sticking to the south side or just need to go a short distance.
I use the Deuce a lot. Also the free trams on the west of the strip. Never the monorail. Not because I’m tight, but invariably because it’s on the “wrong” side of the Strip, as you said yourself, it’s a long walk from a monorail station to some of the properties on the west side of the strip.
Not looked at the Loop before, I’ll be sure to check it out on my next visit.
I never thought I'd be happy to see an ad lol. Norma is moving up in the world!!!!!
Norma is the cutest most adorable person on UA-cam, and smart too! Keep it up Norma, your parents must be very proud of you
you don't need to drive your own car to vegas or rent a car after you fly, taking the bus, or a train to vegas. you can take their tram, if your at the Tahiti villige or other time share they have shuttle bus you can use, you can use lift, Monorails, or the subway system calls the loop.
If you ever want to travel to Green Valley Ranch Casino and do not have a car, you can catch a GVR shuttle from Mandalay Bay. Its a beautiful casino and right next door to a great BBQ restaurant called Lucilles.
Bloopers are the best! All the best modes of transportation that Vegas has to offer is awesome. I've done the Deuce, it has the best a/c ever & is super clean!! I've done the monorail and tram. My new adventure will be the Loop!
i was so cold in the bus lol
Another beautiful video featuring the beautiful Norma. My day just got way better after watching this 💯
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.
We watched a lady try to hail a cab on the Strip. Cab after cab past her by. My lady & I were cracking up as we witnessed her frustration. We knew better, thanks to you
My wife and I are celebrating our anniversary next week in Vegas. We are stoked for the monorail to be open again, and have taken the deuce before. We are staying at the D the last night, so we will get an opportunity to check out the Loop. Thank you for all of your helpful information. We love your videos!
i always take the deuce. smooth ride and you always makes friends on the way to fremont
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!
there she is!!!. was waiting for the next one... forwarding it to my boss for his friends.
thanks for sharing it :)
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!
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.
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.
I live in Las Vegas and I do that when I travel. It avoids expensive airport parking and unreliable taxi service away from the strip.
how long did it take you to get from airport to strip and also how long to get back to airport from the strip?
@@etawny1 45 min.
I always watch these videos before going to Vegas SO useful. Thanks norma going in December can’t wait
Much appreciated Norma. I do not know why people complain about FREE transportation. No matter what, in Vegas there is a walking component. Love the bloopers ! Cheers !
its like NY , so much walking there too
Been to Vegas so many times and have never really used many of these services. Think I'll check out The Loop bus on our upcoming trip. Good stuff!
are you goin to defcon?
You should try it out it's pretty fun!!!
Hi Norma!
This was an outstanding video very very helpful. I just want to thank you for making these videos. They are so important for people that wanna visit Las Vegas or like myself that want to move to Las Vegas thank you thank you thank you. You are awesome.❤
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.
oh nice! we all need to do that walk from one side of the strip to the other. I hope things get better so you can come soon
OMG One of your best videos. Thanks for this. Your hat is so cute.
Oh Yeahhh this is what i be doing. I JUST LOOKED AT MY WRIST I GOT TIME TODAY. TO STROLL and wait for all these helpful transportation options
Yes, the Excalibur tram only stops at Mandalay Bay on the southbound trip. Luxor is only going north.
They have 2 trams but one of them wasn't working
This is great info, I wasn't aware of the loop. Last couple years I've been ubering and Lyfting everywhere
Hope you can try it one day
Finally! Someone who knows I don't need a car in Vegas! Thanks Norma! I should show this video to my friend, who kept telling me to rent a car when I travel including Vegas.
Going in three weeks, first time not renting a car. Cost of gas and parking getting to much. It was good when parking was free . Did not know about the free loop so thanks for that.
Thanks for the video. I’ll be out in Vegas in a few months and I plan to take every and all necessary modes of public transportation as opposed to my brother who’ll be traveling with me but who’s choosing to rent a car and drive everywhere, but with rental and parking costs, it seems like the Monorail, the deuce and the trams are the more economical way to go.
Norma sweet one you forgot that if you are a senior , go to the stop just off the downtown one at the main station and get the RTC reduced fare I.D. and everything id 1/2 price , 3 day pass is $10.00. I cannot think that you eat so much and stay so THIN !
Hi, Norma ! Nice video! 💕💕💕💕
The bloopers are the best!!!!
Car rentals used to be a no brainer, because they could be as low as $30 bucks a day if you reserved early enough. And parking was free. With Hertz(the original one) going under and inflation, car rentals are at least 70 for the lowest, and then you have to pay 18 dollars a night for parking, even if you're a hotel guest(Mlife if lower than pearl status). I still rented, but doing research next trip. If I went public transportation route. It's CX express from airport. So for 2 bucks it's to near MGM properties on south strip, or straight to downtown. That's kind of a price hack for downtown from airport, instead of taking the deuce with is 6 bucks.
The thing I learned in your video is about 'the loop'. Thought the only way downtown once you were at your hotel on the strip was The Deuce.
Since we eat so much when we go to Vegas, we walk all day when we hotel hop just so we don't feel guilty with all the calories we are consuming and burn all those.
Clear umbrella is a game changer 😘😘
I do a lot of walking and live in a major city so I am used to using public transportation instead of driving. I have used most of the options in your video. However, I did not know about the Loop so that was cool to learn about. Thanks for putting this together. I hope more people use the options presented.
I hope so too! Let me know what you think of the Loop if you get to try it
Thanks Norma! We come to Vegas 2 times a year and I have never heard of the Loop. Great info
Thank you so much for this helpful information and taking the rides so we can see it. I see your links to get the schedules, for our self that’s really sweet of you
OMG! I was just talking about this. Was in Vegas couple weeks ago, and discovered the monorail, was wondering why I hadn't seen videos on this. BTW ran into you at Resorts World. You were with Sayhitomatthew. My BF said Hi from a far, didn't want to bother you, as Matthew was filming. Anyway we are heading back in 2 weeks. Thanks for your videos!
Why would there be videos on the monorail? It is a joke unless you have very specific use cases. If you arent going to the convention centre or sahara, or specifically starting at MGM and ending at Harrahs on that side of the strip, it hardly saves any walking because you have to walk so far behind the properties. It only really air conditions more of your walk. Stops are limited, and it is pricier than the buses which are right on the strip.
@@nevyn1221 Yeah. They screwed up big time making the monorail so far from the Strip. No wonder it almost went bankrupt. They SHOULD have made it to run OVER the Strip, as originally planned, but the taxi companies lobbied to stop that notion.
Use the Deuce and monorail every trip! Definitely adding The Loop. The trams are fine, but I don’t mind the walk between most because we visit in November and weather is amazing.
Let me know what you think of the Loop :)
Headed there this month and definitely going to use these to get around. Great information. Thanks a bunch
My husband and I love your vegas videos, thanks!
My Fridays are always better with a video from Norma
If your a local the 24 hr pass for the deuce is 5 bux. If not its 8 bux. Just a heads up. Happy travels. 🚚🚚🚚
Love the bloopers at the end!! Great Norma too cute!
So useful. Thank you Norma, you rock. Great shoes!
11:58 Misters giving a gentle spray of water in the middle of a downpour! Maybe we should get some snow making machines in Chicago for January...
That would be so funny
The buses worked well. Also, walking was good. They just started to build the monorail when I lived there. It went from Bally's to MGM then to The Hilton on Paradise Rd.
Never had a car either as a tourist or resident. Never took the monorail. Looks like the Convention Center really expanded. Even walking around Las Vegas has changed. They have a lot of bridges going over Las Vegas Blvd taking you to the other side. Do they have a lot of shuttle buses? How much do they cost? When I lived in Las Vegas you could get a bus pass for $20 a month. And twice a year a bus pass was good for two months. It was sticky very few times when I lived in Las Vegas. But, it did get that way a few times. The Tram wasn't as extensive as it is now when I lived in Las Vegas. Walking around gave me a lot of exercise. Is there a bus that goes up and down Flamingo Rd? This must be February or March. When I lived in Las Vegas those where the rainy months.
Hi Norma, I have an upcoming trip to Vegas and have been enjoying your videos. Lots of good info. I have a question for you if you could possibly help me out. I am coming to Vegas in April to see BTS at Allegiant Stadium. I do not plan on renting a car and will be staying at a hotel a few blocks off the strip and definitely not within walking distance to the stadium. I did see that there are special shuttles for Raider games, however, this will be a different event. What form of public transportation will get me the closest to Allegiant Stadium?
My boyfriend and I are planning our first trip to Vegas for January. This is extremely helpful! Thanks!
Lydia is cool..nice job on the video.
My husband and I are going to Vegas for the first time in October and this was super helpful! Thank you!
This is a GREAT video Norma! We do take our car to Vegas, but usually it sits at our hotel and we love to use the various transportation you showed except have never done the loop or deuce. I think it’s time to try them. 😊
Hope you can try them out one day!
Hey Norma I love your channel ❤️ very informative, me and my wife are coming out to Vegas next weekend for our honeymoon after 12 years , thanks for the info even on how to budget our trip.
The Monorail is awesome, I wish I would have watched your video two weeks ago. I luv public transportation in vegas due to the excess walking that you might be prone to doing. Next time I go i will definetley use the LOOP Downtown! thanks!
Hope you like it :)
