Taking the bus in Vegas - a frugal gambler's guide to the Las Vegas bus system

If you don't feel comfortable getting around Las Vegas solely by monorail or taxicab, and you're not entirely sure that renting a car is right for you, remember that there's yet another, less expensive mode of transportation available to you: the local bus system.

My friend Dewey recently added a terrific blog post that's all about taking the bus in Las Vegas. This blog entry has a lot of great tips for frugal Vegas visitors, and he will continue to update the post from time to time as he gathers more information on the Las Vegas bus system. It's not just about the routes and the ins and outs of taking the bus, but also contains information on things like senior discounts and bus passes. There's lots of information there for anyone who might be interested.

I asked if he would allow me to link to the post so that you may all share in his vast wisdom and money-saving ideas through a quick and easy link, and he was happy to share.

Dewey doesn't take cabs in Vegas, and he doesn't rent cars, either; he uses the local bus system to get everywhere during his extensive Vegas visits when he's not using his feet, and he has a lot of insight into the system and how to make the most of it on a trip. He has used the bus system to get from point A to point B for a poker session at another hotel and has also moved from hotel to hotel with his luggage, too.

Now, you may not stick completely to one mode of transportation on any given Vegas visit, but you certainly have another option in the Las Vegas bus system. If you think that taking the bus is something you might like to do to save some money on your Vegas trip, check out Dewey's bus blog and see if it's right for you.
