Transportation
Guide to Public Transport in Las Vegas
Buses
The bus system is run by the Citizen's Area Transit (CAT), and
covers the vast majority of the city. Fares are USD1.25 for over
18s, except on Strip routes 301, 302 and 303, which cost USD2.
Reduced fares of USD0.60 are available for those under 17 or over
62. The exact fare must be given as drivers do not carry change. For
route information and schedules, call CAT on Tel: +1
(1)702-228-7433.
Trolleys
At some point in your visit, you are likely to use "the Trolley",
which works its way up and down the length of the famous Strip.
Operating on a rolling basis, the Trolley stops at each major hotel
entrance between the Sahara and the Hacienda every 20-30 minutes,
allowing visitors to trawl casino-land with ease.
This hop on, hop off service runs 09h30-01h30 and costs USD1.75. For
further information. Tel: +1 (1)702-228-7433. You should be warned
that the trolley stops extremely frequently and often it is quicker
to walk. But not as much fun.
Driving
Even though you won't need a car if you plan to stay in the city,
it's the kind of place that can make driving an enjoyable activity
in its own right.
If you choose to drive in the desert be aware that the hot weather
may cause a car to overheat and take adequate precautions in case
you should break down (spare water is essential). In the city at
certain times, the strip can get very crowded with pedestrians, so
drive carefully, adhering to the speed limit. Parking is generally
free at hotel, casinos and in residential areas and toll parking is
available on some streets in the commercial district. Be warned that
cars may not be parked along the strip itself. Parking is restricted
on streets during street cleaning so check street signs for
information.
A valid driver's licence is all that is needed to drive in the USA.
Check with your car rental company for further rental requirements.
The speed limit is 88-104km per hour (55-65mph) on motorways,
56-64km per hour (35-40mph) in commercial areas, and 24-40km per
hour (15-25mph) in residential areas. Distances and speed
restrictions are posted in miles throughout the US. The driver and
all passengers in the front and rear are required to wear a seatbelt
at all times. Driving is on the right.
If time allows and you're elsewhere in the US, particularly anywhere
on the Western seaboard, it's worth thinking about driving to Vegas.
The road trip is all part of American culture and seeing Vegas
slowly emerge out of the desert horizon is a fantastic way of
approaching the city.

simply hail one from the sidewalk. All cabs will have a tariff of
fares displayed somewhere in the vehicle and the meter should be
visible to the passengers.

(1)702-736-8444 or the Yellow Checker Star Cab Company on Tel: +1
(1)702-873-2000.
