Get From the Strip to Fremont Street by Bus & SAVE

Key Points:

• The Deuce Bus offers service along the Strip and to Fremont Street at a palatable price ($4 for a single ride).

• While inexpensive, The Deuce is slow due to how many stops it makes and is often quite crowded.

According to a Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) survey, 52% of visitors ventured downtown in 2024.

Considering an Uber/Lyft from the Strip to downtown can cost $20+ one way, the bus can be a cost-effective solution.

Your fellow riders could be dicey

I’ll never forget my last Deuce Bus Ride. Someone behind me threw up, and the puddle of barf inched forward, closer to my feet every time the bus slowed down or came to a stop.
