From: mgrahm on 31 Jul 2010 14:43 Hay all Just wondering if anyone has used the new ACE Bus Service in Las Vegas. I have a cheap rental car booked with Payless knowing that I can cancel it if need be. I like having the car to get some off strip locations, but it is mostly parked for hours at a time in a casino's parking garage, so I really don't use it that much. Would not be so bad, but all the taxes and fees can often drive the price up quit a lot. I found the Deuce Bus Service to be okay last year, but sometimes was very slow and often over crowed. Just wondering if this new service is a that much of a step up. Thanks Michael

Check the route map to see if it stops where you want. http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com/transit/route/ --- Walt

Also stops at Fremont Street, as well as several stops along the strip. Would have to walk to a few places from the drop off point, but that is not a big deal. Now I just wonder if it is as crowded at the Deuce or not. Michael

I'm guessing not very, since only a couple of people got off where I boarded and there were only a few on the bus with me. The infrequent stops should discourage most Strip tourists from boarding, unless they get on by mistake. --- Walt |
