Travel Tip: Number 6

This is not really a very broad travel tip, and so please feel free to ignore it if it doesn't apply directly to you. But recently while I was in Vegas I noticed a few ways you can save a lot of money. First off there is getting from the airport to the hotel or strip. The cheapest way to do this is actually by bus, all of which run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...or at least the ones along the strip do. From the Airport you can take Bus 108 which will take you directly to the Stratosphere Hotel and casino and within walking distance of the Riveria and Circus Circus. Where I happened to stay because it is so cheap! From where the 108 drops you off very close to the main strip, you can then catch the DEUCE Bus which only runs up and down the strip, all day every day. From there you can go directly to any of the major hotels along the strip. The 108 Bus cost $1.75 each way, or $5.00 for a day pass and the Deuce is $3.00 each way or $7.00 for a day pass. Thus you can spend a maximum of $4.75 to get to anywhere on the strip from the airport, which is much cheaper than a taxi or any of the hotel shuttles. Plus it only takes 20 to 30 minutes, which is not bad all, even including waiting time for the buses.
