Free Bus Rides in Las Vegas: Myth or Reality? (Spoiler Alert: Not Quite a Myth, But Buckle Up!)
Living the Vegas life doesn't have to drain your wallet drier than a slot machine on a bad day. Enter the glorious world of the RTC (Regional Transportation Commission) bus system, your chariot to navigate the neon jungle without breaking the bank. But wait, can you snag those rides for free, you ask? Well, settle in, folks, because this is where things get interesting.

Free ain't exactly free, but close enough!
Here's the deal: There's no magic online portal where free bus passes appear with a click of your mouse (although, wouldn't that be amazing?). However, there are a few ways to score rides without spending a dime, or at least close to it.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
The Vaccination Vroom: Feeling a little under the weather (because Vegas flu is a thing, apparently)? If you need a ride to your COVID-19 vaccination appointment, the RTC has your back. Just shoot them an email at COVIDpass@rtcsnv.com and they'll send two free 24-hour passes zooming to your rideRTC app. No need to risk a taxi meltdown (trust us, it's a story for another time).
Reduced Fare Fiesta: Maybe you're a senior citizen with wisdom to share (and places to be!), a veteran who deserves a break, or a student cramming for exams (between pool parties, of course). The RTC offers reduced fares for these groups and more! You'll need to apply for a Reduced Fare ID, but hey, the discounts are worth the minimal effort.
Now, here's the not-so-free, but still budget-friendly option:
