Getting there & around

From the airport

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the main commercial airport. There is no airport train or metro to the Strip or Downtown. For most first-time arrivals, taxi or rideshare is simplest: about 10-20 minutes to the Strip and 20-30 minutes to Downtown, longer with event traffic. Public buses are run by RTC: Route 108 serves Paradise/Convention Center/Downtown, Route 109 serves Maryland Parkway/South Strip Transit Terminal, and CX links the airport with Downtown and other points. Expect roughly 25-50 minutes by bus depending on destination and transfers. Use official taxi stands or app rideshare pickup zones.

Around the city

Las Vegas is bus-first, not metro-first. RTC buses cover the valley; The Deuce is the key visitor route along the Strip and Downtown. Tourists usually want an RTC Strip & All Access pass in the rideRTC app or from vending machines. The Las Vegas Monorail is separate from RTC and runs on the east side of the Strip from MGM Grand to SAHARA, useful for Convention Center and east-side hotels. Free resort trams help on parts of the west Strip. Distances look short but casino blocks are long; in summer, plan shade, water, and pedestrian bridges.

As of 2026-06-20 — confirm current schedules/fares with the operator.
