    It depends on what part of the strip you are going to. It will cost approx. $14 plus tip. I wouldn’t take a taxi unless you have luggage. Take the Deuce it the best and cheaper way to go. Chip O

    Depends on where you want to go on the strip. stratospheree is the closing casino going to the strip, if you talking about all the way down to Mandalay Bay area i would say $20 bucks. Going to the stratosphere would be around $10 bucks i would think. The Bus/Duce is $2 dollars from downtown to the strip area casino which is what i did when i was there going from fremont to the strip, not bad! Thutmose I

    Round trip in taxi will cost more than your room rate. The Deuce is slow and crowded. One suggestion is to take the route #116 bus which you can catch at the downtown transportation center two blocks north of Fremont street (leaves on the 1/2 hour in the day). Because it goes down side streets the #116 is much faster than the Deuce.Purchase a 24 hour pass on the #116 and have some dollar bills so that you can upgrade if you want to return on the Deuce ($1 upgrade charge).

    The #116 will go from downtown transit center to the point where it crosses Las Vegas Blvd between the Wynn and the Palazzo in 22-27 minutes. I would get off the bus there.
    =============
    The Deuce doesn’t have a schedule, but it could take about 40-45 minutes to get to the same point. Depending on the time of day it might take a while until you can even get on the bus.
    =============
    Since there is a crowd of people waiting at Neonopolis to get down to the strip, you might find people who are willing to share a cab. Unfortunately most of them will have bought 24 hour passes to come from the strip to downtown in the first place.
    =============
    Sometime in March they are supposed to begin the Ace Gold Rapid Transit Bus which you will pick up by the Golden Nugget and Binion’s. .It will get you to the same point much faster. “Bus Rapid Transit” is sort of a cross between light rail and a regular bus. It is not very common in this country. It uses special guideways, and dozens of other features so that it is much faster than regular buses.
    ================
    Some people enjoy the Deuce bus. They have a second floor with big windows so you can get a view of the casinos. Paco
