I only stay at Hotels that have a monorail station. Usually the Horseshoe or Westgate. It's the main way I get around Las Vegas going both North and South. I can't say enough about it.

Regarding "from Mandalay Bay to Bellagio": the tram actually has two stops at Excalibur so you wouldn't have to walk through the entire casino of Excalibur unless you get out at the first stop. If you wait until the second stop you're actually outside of the casino at the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas boulevard were you can exit and take the bridge directly up to New York.

Also there are a total of three free trams. The third is between the Mirage and Treasure Island

One of the reason the trams are not connected was they own by different companies before when they were build. From business point of view, the casino want their customer stay in their hotel and not go anywhere else.

Can they connect them together now since most are either own by MGM or Caeser Group? Of course they can, but this will go back to my pervious point. Casino like Luxor want their customer to stay in the hotel and spend their money there, not just stay for their cheaper room rate and spend their money at Aria and Bellagio etc. Also, their trams might be a different type, they might need to redo the whole system for one or two of them. That could be a lot of $$$$.

Of course I love to see them connected together, but I don't think it will happen any time soon.

If you're going to/from downtown to/from the Strip (or airport) - take the 108 bus along Paradise (a block east of the Strip). Cheaper and faster than the Deuce - plus it goes right to/from the airport. Downside - it only runs every 30 minutes.

it0s a pity that the monorail don't arrive to the Airport !

When I stayed at the Flamingo 2 years ago, I wish I did try the Monorail. Next month I'll probably get a chance. The only thing I don't like about it is that it serves one side, but it's still a very quick option. We're staying at NYNY this time though, so being inbetween both trams I think is pretty awesome.

We took the Deuce out to Fremont Street and they tended to be rather crowded each time we got on. Sometimes it feels like a Lyft/Uber is faster and depending, it feels cheaper anyway when you consider the eventual cost of tickets.

I usually stay downtown area when visiting Vegas, Use the deuce bus if we want to visir the strip especially in late day/evenings, as you said not the fastest or best, but serves our purpose for what it is. Good video for those visiting Vegas the first time.

I’ve used all of these. The first time was nearly all walking; I learned to not wear shoes that weren’t well broken-in. This was 1991 snd there weren’t any trams or monorail yet. There were just the regular busses and not The Deuce. I wouldn’t have known to take them if they had existed. The trams are nice if limited. The Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay one was kind of odd when I’d used it. One direction, it was non-stop between Excalibur and Mandalay Bay but the opposite direction made stops at all three. It was just as easy to take the interior walkways between them, honestly.
The Monorail is nice but it only services certain resorts and only on the east side of the Strip. Still, it’s convenient if you can remember which casinos are across from each other to take it, go through the casino, take a pedestrian bridge (or cross the street if there isn’t one) to get to places on the other side.
What would be ideal would be to close the Strip to regular traffic and build a tram in the median that cycles from north to south and back again, making several stops along the way. Much more pedestrian-friendly

Love the monorail Last year I stayed at the Sahara, part of the reason was that northern most station is at the Sahara. I could leave the hotel and be heading south in less than 10 min.

Sir, that video is amazing. I'm from Brazil/England and 2024 I'm going to Las Vegas for the very first time. So that video was extremely well explained and the maps showing the stations were outstanding. Well done.

I’ve done all of these options over the years. The free monorails are fine but there still is a bit of walking in between the casinos. Same for the Las Vegas monorail. It’s pretty efficient but you have to walk all the way back through the casinos and back out again so there still a bit of walking. The Deuce bus is not a bad option. It’s relatively inexpensive but right now with all the construction and traffic its slow getting down the strip. Uber is not too bad in Las Vegas but they get stuck in traffic too.

Thanks for the video. Last time I visited i rented a car. This time i planned on taking the bus most places. Dissapointed to hear the bus service is so unreliable. Sounds like the monorail and rideshare (for off strip ventures may be the best option.)

My wife and I were in Vagas 4 days ago. Stayed at the D in downtown Vagas. We traveled up and down the strip on the Deuce yes, buses were full in the evening, so we just waited 10 minutes or less for the next bus. They were clean as well. A little bit of a waiting was fine with us. This was during the time that the strip was under preparation for F1. It was not perfect, but it was not an inconvenience either.

I love trams and monorails so much that when I visit Vegas, I will sometimes go out of my way (or more accurately, make them purposefully in my path), just so I can ride them!

I’ve had different experiences with the deuce, we have rarely had to wait long & they usually weren’t overcrowded that being said though, if I was just going to the next casino I definitely would walk but if we were going from the south end to midatrip, or I wanted to get down to Freemont street the bus is the way to go.

My first time on the strip I stayed at the Mandalay Bay and I walked that strip several times and enjoyed the walk. I went during the cooler months so I wasn't bothered by the heat. There were lots of people and lots to see. I totally enjoyed the vibe and I love walking on the whole. I think I need the walk after all the eating I do.
