Citizen Area Transit

 

Las Vegas Deuce Bus

 

The Las Vegas Deuce Bus, also referred to as RTC Transit bus or formally CAT (Citizen's Area Transit ) buses, is Las Vegas' newest mode of transportation for both locals and visitors along the famous Las Vegas Strip. Run by the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC), the Las Vegas Deuce is probably the least expensive way to get around. It runs up and down the Vegas strip, 24 hours a day and stops at virtually every hotel and casino along the Las Vegas strip. Las Vegas bus stops are located about every quarter mile in each direction of the Vegas strip and are marked with signs or by bus shelters.

 

These Las Vegas buses are more accessible than taxis, which can't pick passengers up off the street. The RTC Transit has 51 routes and if you'll be spending most of your time on the Strip you'll want to take the Deuce. The Las Vegas Deuce is a San Francisco-style double-decker bus that is dedicated to the Strip. It accomodates up to 97 people, it's Las Vegas Deuceair-conditioned, spacious and begins the trip at the south end from a terminal close to the McCarran Airport and ends at a terminal close to Fremont Street. You can also take any of the other 50 buses to see more of Las Vegas.

The RTC Transit now makes it convenient for riders to purchase passes online. The only drawback is that it will take 7 to 10 days for you to get your pass in the mail.
