| How Much Does It Cost To Ride The Rtc Bus In Las Vegas |
So, how much moolah are we talkin' about?
Fasten your seatbelts, because we're about to enter the world of super-affordable public transportation. Here's the skinny on fares:
- Single ride: For a quick hop on, hop off situation, you're looking at a mere $4 (regular fare) or $2 (reduced fare). That's like the price of a fancy coffee, but way more fun (because, well, buses!).
- Time Traveler: Planning a whirlwind Vegas adventure? Snag a 2-hour pass for $6 (regular fare) or $3 (reduced fare). This lets you roam the city like a champion for a cool two hours.
- All-Day Adventure Pass: Got a jam-packed day of sightseeing planned? The 24-hour pass is your best bet. For $8 (regular fare) or $4 (reduced fare), you've got unlimited rides for a whole day. Ride the Deuce, explore Downtown, the possibilities are endless (almost as endless as the buffet lines).
- Weekend Warrior: If you're hitting Vegas for a longer haul, the 3-day pass might be your champion. At $20 (regular fare) or $10 (reduced fare), this lets you cruise the city for a whole 72 hours. Just don't get too comfy, you'll miss all the fun!
Important Note: Reduced fares apply to nifty folks like seniors (60+), students (with ID), and those with disabilities. Be sure to show your ID when purchasing a reduced fare ticket.
Also, here's a Vegas life-hack: Children under 5 ride for free, so bring the little ones along for the ride (just don't let them near the slot machines...yet).
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Still got questions? We've got answers! (And they're short, because Vegas waits for no one!)

How often do the buses run?
Schedules vary by route, but generally, buses run frequently throughout the day. You can check the RTC website or app for specific routes and times.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Is there a fancy double-decker bus?
You bet your lucky penny there is! The Deuce is a Vegas icon, a double-decker bus that cruises up and down the Las Vegas Strip. It's a fun way to see the sights and avoid the scorching desert sun (or escape the air-conditioned chill of the casinos).
What if I get lost?
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
No worries! Most bus drivers are friendly folks and can help you get on the right track. Don't be afraid to ask for directions (and maybe a restaurant recommendation - they know the good eats!).
So there you have it! Now you can conquer the Las Vegas public transportation system like a pro. With these tips and those ridiculously low fares, you'll be a Vegas VIP in no time (minus the hefty price tag). Just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (except for the awesome memories you'll make riding the RTC bus!).
