We thought we would try the bus last night because we just got tired of walking. We have a show tonight on the opposite end of the strip so we we decided on a 24 hour pass. Everything would've been great had the bus driver actually stopped when we requested. We pushed the stop button as we were supposed to in plenty of time but the bus driver did not stop until 2 stops later! People were shouting at him to stop and he refused. When we questioned him why he did this he ignored us. The transportation system must earn a lot of extra money if this happens on a regular basis. We had to cross the street and take another bus back to our stop. I would rather use a cab next time. At least their drivers that we've experienced are courteous. read more

Bargain...yes...but leaving can get hectic if you are going back to the strip....security held the line that stretched back into the strip mall and allowed 2 buses to leave 1/3 full..stating time constraints...but didnt start loading the bus until 2mins before they left??? Hmmm...of you are on s time constraint...wouldnt you want to load the bus instead of letting them sit empty for 8 mins and then load for 1.5mins...??? Ppl were getting disgruntled at this method of madness...beware and ready to wait read more

Uh-oh, looks like the prices went up since my last review. Now $3 per ride. Still a steal if you can deal with asses and elbows while crawling up and down the strip. read more

When you go to Vegas if you only plan to visit the strip you can totally use this to save money. It runs from the airport all the way to the downtown area. The deuce will run very frequent intervals and I think its 24/7. read more

As a fan of taking public transportation in every major city I visit, the Deuce did not disappoint. Thank you for making it so easy to snub the rude, opportunistic, and downright evil taxi drivers and get to where I needed to go my damn self. 24 hr unlimited passes for $7 cannot be beat. The Express bus rocked, too. read more

Two stars for being very handy back when it wasn't yet popular and could handle the capacity. The el cheapo trips from Center Strip up to Fremont and back for just a few bucks were great back then. My last three trips to Vegas, however, had me walking more than riding as I hoofed it toward my destination and watched packed bus after packed bus roll by stations teeming with waiting passengers. Neat idea, but there just needs to be more buses. In the meantime, I'll take advantage of the additional exercise or reluctantly go back to cabs. read more

I'm a fan of this double-decker bus. It goes up and down the entire Strip including the downtown area . It does it's job very well, albeit slowly. We rode it from it's the South Terminal(South Endpoint) all the way through the DTC (North Endpoint). We caught the Duece after riding on Bus 109 from the Airport. I highly recommend the Duece if you have some time to spend, it's your 1st time in Vegas, and would like to glance at the huge hotels off the strip in an air-conditioned environment in-between stops. If you're looking to travel along the strip quickly, I'd recommend the Monorail instead. Hint: If you want to save $6pp and you're staying near the strip, don't be embarrassed to take the buses to your hotel instead of Aiport Shuttles which charge $8 pp. read more

Trying to find the terminal by Fremont Street in 105 degree weather is not my idea of a good time. Luckily we found it by turning down the right street. The bus was air conditioned but got crowded as we made our way towards the strip. It was a great deal at $5 per person for a 24 hour pass. We only used it for this one way trip, but it was a quick (25 minutes max) cool ride to our destination. read more

some of the drivers are a$$holes. driver pulls up, i try to ask him a question (whether or not he stops near circus circus since i had my 2 kids with me). he proceeds to ignore the question and just say "you need to take your kid out of the stroller". mind you, my kid and stroller and wife weren't even on yet (they were waiting for me to confirm that the bus was going to where we needed to go). i ask him again. he fires back with the same statement about needing to take my kid out. i ask him one more time, and he says "i can't hear you, the air conditioning is loud" - clearly being a smartass and refusing to answer my question. i stormed off the bus and two other customers told me that he was an a$$hole to them earlier as well. wtf? are you that disgruntled? i'm sorry you hate your job, but here's an idea - how about you do it and maybe you'll feel better about yourself? on a separate occasion, another driver drove off after stopping only for 30 seconds at the stop. a few other people and my family were still walking toward to the bus to board when he just drove off. he was clearly 'in service' as well, he just was late or impatient. i hope someone from the company reads this and seriously makes some changes to the way they train their drivers. read more

The Deuce looks neat to look at and to try for a block but if you are going from The Strip to Downtown a taxi would be a faster way. The bus was comfy and safe but it was very slow. It stops every block or so and waits for 8 minutes at each stop. While I had a seat the bus alot of people had to stand as the bus becomes crowded. read more

Get the all day pass, it is well worth it. The Deuce was a great way to saVe the hassle and cost of grabbing countless Taxis throughout Vegas. By far the best value in Vegas. read more

For $7 , you get a 24 hour pass to go anywhere from the strip to Downtown . It's pretty worth it if you ask me . You save a lot more money versus taking a taxi . read more

Zero stars. There was quite a large number of people waiting for a bus at the Fremont Street bus stop, and no buses came by. After a long wait one bus went right past without stopping even though it was not full. Then 3 arrived at once. The crowd was getting a little out of control and angry. Other passengers missed a show they bought tickets for because of the delay. read more

Rode the deuce for the first time and was excellent ... friend drivers and very efficient way to move around Las Vegas. Get to experience some local characters as a bonus. Connected to the 202 to check out the Palms hotel and casino. Can't beat the price and great way to see a lot of Vegas and the strip. Make sure to buy your tickets before getting on board no change provided! read more

Definitely the way to get around town with lots of stops (or fewer on the Goldline) and a reasonable $7 for 24 hours unlimited for both bus lines. read more

It took us 40 plus minutes from Planet Hollywood to the Sahara at rush hour. I really think the driver had been pithed at a state institution and then loosed on the public as some sort of morbid joke or cynical statement about limited mental healthcare funding in Nevada. Either that or endstage snakebite. May be better at other times but I wouldn't give you odds, even in Vegas. read more

For $5-all day when you are here as a tourist is probably a great deal to travel the strip & go Downtown, but as part of the CAT Bus system here in Las Vegas it is just ridiculous. Why no designated full time bus lane.MAXX on the N LV Blvd is the best. read more

I never knew how slow public transport could be until I rode the Deuce. At every other stop, we had to wait about 8 minutes for people to figure out that it was $3 one-way and $7 for a 24-hr pass. I will never complain about SF Muni again. (I probably will.) However, riding those Enviro500s makes me think about Hong Kong again. Good. Air conditioning, in contrast to LV's heat, makes you appreciate San Francisco's mild weather. Good. Reasonable prices, in comparison to rentals and taxis. Good. Funny drivers. Good. A bus every 30 seconds. Good. Clean, and without graffiti. Good. $3 is more than Muni's $2. Now, I'm not complaining about Muni's fare increase. $210 for 30 days is mor than Muni's new (increased) monthly fare of $55. Bad, but doesn't apply to me. However, the thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars: The fact that you could NOT ride the bus, or take a taxi, or rent a car, if you'd just get a hotel on the Strip, not in Downtown. read more

This is the greatest way of getting around Las Vegas. The 24 hour pass let's you ride all their buses to anywhere you want to go. My wife and I traveled not only up and down the strip but out to Fremont and over to the Orleans. Forget the cab, take the Deuce! read more

The Deuce is a nice and affordable alternative to taking a taxi anywhere from Mandalay Bay to Fremont Street Experience. It runs 24 hours. It is clean and not too packed even at 2 in the morning. One thing I really loved about it was that there is security in the bus at night, made me feel much safer and secure. The prices are: $6 for 2 hours $8 for 24 hours $20 for 3 days read more

We love taking the Deuce when we are in Vegas! Easy and affordable, gets you everywhere you need/want to go. Granted we hoped on the wrong bus this past trip when we attempted to head north. We did not look at where it said it was headed, we just knew we were at the right bus stop. But as soon as we got on the freeway, we knew we made a booboo. LOL, good thing we had an awesome driver! He told us the bus we wanted was the one that was coming next to the stop. Oops. So we rode his route and when we got to the stop we got on at he told us the next bus to where we wanted would be there in 3 minutes. Now we know! And knowing is half the battle. LOL. When in Vegas, the Deuce is the way to travel. read more

No schedule of arrival times anywhere, they say they run on the holiday or Sunday schedules but they don't say what those times are. Watch 5 buses go the other way with none coming back up the strip. read more

First trip to Vegas and didn't realize how terrific this combined with the SDX could be until the end of our trip. Maybe a little slow getting around but after walking everywhere for 2-3 days a short bus trip to save the feet was welcomed. $20 for a 3 day pass and unlimited trips is good value. You can hop on and go one stop up get off and repeat all the way up and down the strip. Drivers are a bit aggressive on the start and stops so definitely be sitting down or holding on at those times. read more

I wonder how much worse things are in Hell. After all, riding The Duece doesn't seem much better. If you know your slanguage, "Duece" couldn't be a more appropriate name. Riding this bus can be a pretty shitty experience. 1. It's riddiculously uncomfortable. True the seats have a soft plush cover, but look at the way they're organized and proportioned, they don't give you a lot of leg room, or arm room for that matter. Whoever designed the bus interior should be thrown in front of a bus. 2. They get riddiculously crowded. Considering there's so many of them running at once, they really need to put a limit on how many people can be allowed on the bus at once, it's truly riddiculous how cramped that bus can get, the seating organization doesn't help either. 3. At every stop, even if there aren't any people there, the bus stops and waits for about 5 minutes. What the hell are you waiting for? If someone wasn't at the bus stop in time, that's their fault, besides, there's probably another Duece right behind you, and it's not like the bus has anymore space to pick up more passengers anyway. 4. The bus drives at tour bus speed. Considering that it's the only bus on the Strip, locals and workers have to use this bus as well, they have more important destinations to get to at certain times, while these tourists are on vacation and have all the time to do whatever the hell they want. If a local is late for their job or an appointment because of how slow this bus is going, that's just downright unfair, and the driver should be sued. Even when Strip traffic is at it's worst, driving from the Flamingo to the Venetian shouldn't take anymore than 10 minutes. 15 tops. Not almost 30. And any attempts to make this a sight seeing/tour bus is borderline futile, considering that most of these buses have screen coating ads which makes everything outside look all fuzzy and distorted. Here's some suggestions: 1. Do a complete remodel of the bus interiors, so the seat organization is actually functional. 2. If all the seats are filled, no more than 20 people should be allowed on the bus at a time. 3. You know what, scratch all that. Keep the Duece Bus exactly the same for the TOURISTS. How about adding a route of regular buses for the Strip that locals and workers can use, with designated stops for the Deuce and the regular CAT bus so everyone will be able to tell the difference. These buses will run at normal speed so people who have more important places to go will get there on time, since there's no tourists, there will be no epic crowds of people standing on top of each other and you'll have to pay regular fare of $2.50 for a day pass, not $5.00, which is the type of money tourists have to blow, not everyday people. I'm actually not surprised that so many people think there is nothing else to Las Vegas besides the Strip. I mean, after they see how things like The Duece work, obviously it seems totally unreasonable for people to actually thrive here. read more

We did the Deuce bus for a 3 day trip to Las Vegas. The bus was clean and easy to use. My only complaint was that it stops at every hotel on the strip. At some stops it seemed to wait around way too long. A good option is the Express bus that also goes along the strip and downtown, but it has far fewer stops. Be careful about times -- the Express stops running from downtown at midnight. The Deuce runs after midnight from downtown. read more

we stupidly walked up to caesar's palace the 1st day from convention center dr lol, we got a slow motion view of everything on the strip that way, but i spent all week being sore from any and all walking we did on the strip lol. those damn pedestrian walkways/bridges on the strip were good in that u don't have to wait for the cross walk/cars, but bad in that it diverts u and causes u to do extra walking, which sux if ur sore like we were! so when we figured out the deuce was available, it was my heaven! it's clean! no food, drinks, smoking, etc. (but u can bring food and drinks on there, just can't consume it) there's 2 levels (i tried to avoid going on the 2nd level cuz i was scared of falling down the very narrow/cramped stairs. they want u to go up in the 'front' stairs, and down in the 'back' stairs.. but my husband made me go to the 2nd level on our 3rd day in vegas lol.. thankfully i didn't fall but i was very hesitant to be on those stairs when the bus was moving! the sign warns u not to do that, but it's kinda unavoidable if u don't wanna miss ur stop) the stops are all pre announced and there's screen signs that update as it goes by each stop. idk if the passes (1 and 3 days were bought by us) were a rip off or if they were a good deal lol, but we thought it was better than the other options.. one particular driver was really funny and friendly. he actually did full time announcing during the whole route like a tour bus guide announcer lol, he must do it on the side or be an aspiring one lol, he made us chuckle a bit :) make sure u look at the bus stop signs to make sure the deuce even goes to that stop! we accidentally went on a side street by accident when we came out of the MGM, so we were at the wrong corner (not on las vegas blvd lol) and turned out we were at a reg bus stop lol. lots of time wasted waiting there for a deuce bus that was never gonna come! smh.. but keep in mind that the deuce is not immune to all the traffic on the strip, lots of waiting the whole ride. but hey, it's AC in there and if u can get a seat, enjoy it lol, but yeah don't depend on it to get u somewhere FAST lol. if ur needing to get somewhere fast on the strip, then just run lol it's 24 hrs and comes frequently, we never waited long for it once we got to the stop. it has many stops on the strip, but some hotels are clustered into 1 stop, rather than individual stops for each hotel, so u may have to do some walking regardless like we did... overall tho, it was undoubtedly MUCH better than walking the whole strip! read more

Worst experience ever. Bought a 24 hour pass 24 hours prior to leaving for my flight thinking I'd be able to use this for breakfast this morning. Waited probably 15 mins for a bus and it was late according to the app. When it finally arrived it let about 8 people on them right when my family was about to step on the drive slams the door in our face and says get on another bus (which took us to the other end of the strip where we did not want to go). At first I thought it was because the bus was full but I looked up and the entire top of the bus was empty maybe two people. I was pissed. The bus was the one with the blue man group on it and the drive was a man (bus number 160). This man needs to be fired because slamming bus doors in people's face is no way to treat anybody who has paid to use the bus. So in the end we walked to breakfast thanks to the idiotic and incredibly rude driver. What a waste of money. read more

This public transit system is a joke. The drivers are so rude (and I'm from CHICAGO), the service is very erratic. I just waited 45 min for a bus and two buses with plenty of standing room wouldn't let us on. You prepay before you board so doesn't matter how long you wait, they have your money. Terrible terrible terrible. read more

The Deuce is great. No more paying for a taxi or renting a car. Just buy a pass and use the deuce or the express bus to get up and down the strip or to Fremont st. Heads up though, please read all instructions and visit their site. It will explain how to buy a pass and how to use it. The bus takes so long because people don't realize they need to get a pass or don't bring exact change or they don't know how to slide a card through a machine. Be prepared and ready to use. It's easy. read more

Had a really good experience with this bus my husband and I were new to everything and the bus driver was very helpful and friendly he helped us get we're we needed to be and it's only $8 for the 24hr pass it was completely worth it because you can go to the beginning of the strip, down town, and the premium outlets :) read more

This is a great way to travel up and down the strip, downtown Fremont street, outlet shopping and even to the pawn stars shop. It was $8 a day for a 24 hour pass. The stops and pick up points are clearly labeled and easy to find. Make sure you have exact change as the bus drivers and ticketing machines do not give change. No alcohol allowed on these buses unless you want to spend 30 days in jail. For the most part our drivers over the three days were courteous. We had one driver who was grumpier beyond words. Security was on a lot of the buses or at the stops which was great and added a sense of safeness when travelling off the strip. Buses run every 15 minutes. A really awesome alternative option to renting a car. read more

Great way to get around the strip and Freemont if you are not in good driving shape. Get the 24 hour pass and no longer worry about the expensive cab fare or additional tips. read more

After taking a $25 cab from Planet Hollywood to Freemont street we decided to take the bus back to Paris at $7 each for 24 hours. We thought it was a good idea being that it was in the upper 90s and it would save $. Unbeknownst to us it would take us a bit over an hour to reach our destination. While on the bus some overly intoxicated Vegas party goers were harassing customers and being drunken fools. I didn't notice how many tourists actually used the Deuce until I saw it fill up near the Mirage and the bus driver nt accept anymore customers. read more

Cheap transportation for sure. I thought it would never end.. Very slow but otherwise ok.

the deuce is a great idea if you actually use it!! i bought a 24 hour pass for 5 bucks and only used it once!! it's really slow because it makes so many stops and because there is so much traffic on the strip.. it's a double decker bus and riding on the top level is awesome! you get to see everyone from up there! it's nice because it's air conditioned and when you are in vegas during the summer it's super hot and humid!! the deuce can take you anywhere on the strip and it runs for 24 hours a day!! a good alternative to taking a taxi if you are on a budget!! read more

Okay, folks: Get a grip! RTC/CAT service isn't that bad. Sure there are the usual "bus people", including the mentally ill, the druggies and those who don't understand personal hygiene, but overall the service is reliable and inexpensive. If you can't deal with it, get off your duff and WALK. It really won't kill you to walk in Las Vegas. Honest. Irritate you, yes--kill you, no. Besides, you probably need to walk off all that food you just consumed at one of the casino buffets. read more

It takes a while to get down the entire strip but it gets you places! For an all day pass its only $7, it gets you from point A to point B for a good price all day long, I can't complain about it! read more

I was going to get picked up off of Fremont by the golden nugget. Saw like six buses on a FnA layover!?!? Was forced to walk over to Las Vegas blvd, like 5 blocks away. Saw a bus drive past and the driver wave :-( read more

THIS IS THE REVIEW THAT CUTS THROUGH ALL OF THE CRAP! The Deuce is for people that... Have a lot of time: -expect rides to take at least 45 minutes to an hour depending on where you're going from or to -drivers will stop at all stops whether of not there are passengers waiting unless they're full -when they're full they'll just drive right by as they tell those that are waiting that they're full -God forbid someone on a wheelchair has to board or get off! Have a lot of patience: -the drivers are very slow (VERY SLOW) and drive like it's a tour bus even though you can't see very well out the windows -some drivers are annoying, some ignorant, some just don't care -passengers can be ignorant -expect drivers to pass you by at a stop when they're full - and they often are! Are not afraid of freaks or drunks. Can stand the occasional waft of B.O. or sometimes being stuck behind someone that just plain wreaks! Are willing to put up with some crap (and you will experience some or all of it) for a cheap ride All others should avoid this ride like the plague! Bottom line: If you have patience, a lot of time and are a fairly tolerant person you should be fine. Anyone in a rush or that can't put up with drunks and scaries should avoid this ride at all costs. One story that kind of sums up the Deuce: my wife and I just walked up as a bus was pulling away near the Flamingo. Because of that we were near the front of the line at the stop and waited what seemed like 20 minutes in on a very hot day for the next bus. In that time about 50 or more people filed in behind us in line. The next bus finally arrived and pulled up about 100 feet behind the stop to let off a person in a wheelchair. Incredibly, the driver just stayed there as the people at the end of the line got on first. Even people at the back of the line were commenting commenting as to how ridiculous that was. We barely made it on but a few at the front of the line did not. I said something to the bus driver (couldn't help myself) and her comment was...'oh there will be more buses coming'. I almost reached out to strangle her. At that point I realized my choice was clear...if I wanted the cheap ride I'd have to put up with the crap! I just can't believe that with all the money that flows through Vegas that they haven't come up with a monorail that travels the same route as the bus does....incredible! read more

cheapest way to get around the strip and even downtown. and buyt he $7 for a 24 hour pass for rides. It takes you all the way to freemont street and back to random stops on the strip its fast, comfy and the best thing in vegas to not kill your feet, esp if you a girl in heels :) read more
