For those of you who like to stay in downtown Las Vegas - or visit a couple of the outlying casinos or outlet malls - there is a new bus route that connects you from McCarran Airport to those outlying areas.
Started in December 2010, this new bus route extends from McCarran Airport to the Suncoast Hotel and Casino, the Las Vegas Premium Outlets (very popular with visitors from other countries), to the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard near the Tropicana, MGM, Mandalay Bay and other surrounding casinos, and back to the airport again.
Get on the bus!
A list of the departure times - as well as a map of the route - are included, which should help passengers to "visualize" their trip and plan accordingly.
I am hoping that the website owner will continue to update this bus schedule if it changes. If anyone notices that things are NOT being updated, please let me know with a comment.
Considering the high price of a taxi ride from the airport to downtown, which is about $40 one way (not including a tip), this would be a great option for the Vegas visitor looking to stretch their dollars. I have a friend who frequently stays downtown for part of her trip, and this would certainly take the pressure off of her to try and find another way to get downtown cheaply.
Happy traveling!
