Las Vegas Travel Guide

Buses

To traverse the Strip or go downtown, board the double-decker bus. It’s wheelchair accessible and has rates for those 60 and over. (You must get your reduced-fare transit ID card at the Bonneville Transit Center.) The free bus goes to the Fremont Street Experience, the Arts District, Symphony Park, Pawn Plaza and outlet stores.

Taxis Ride sharing

Taxis sit outside hotels; those outfitted for wheelchairs can be ordered by phone. Ride-hailing vehicles now far outnumber cabs. It’s unusual to wait more than five minutes for an Uber or Lyft in tourist areas. They typically cost half what a taxi would, and sometimes even less.​
