CAT (Citizen Area Transit) is Las Vegas' public transportation system. Former bus routes 301 and 302 that traveled the Strip and on up to Fremont Street have been replaced by Deuce double-decker buses. The fare is $2 (exact change required) and $5 for 1 day pass.Citizens Area Transit (or CAT) is the name of the bus system in the Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada area. Not all of Clark County is serviced by regular scheduled routes. The routes primarily operate within the greater Las Vegas area. The CAT system is owned by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) launched its new Double Decker bus service on the Las Vegas Strip in true Las Vegas fashion on Thursday, Oct. 27 2005. The dedication included a tour of the Deuce, and the changing of the guards as the double deckers were handed off from official “palace guards” to Las Vegas showgirls.
The Deuce provides another exclusive transportation option for locals and visitors alike along the busy Las Vegas Strip. The double decker bus accommodates 97 people and provides both an economical

If your legs are aching with walking in, out and through casinos, you’ve got time to spare and you wouldn’t mind a cheap sightseeing tour of The Strip then I’d suggest hopping on the Las Vegas Strip Trolley.A replica of an old-style trolley. The term "trolley bus" may seem like a contradiction in terms but there's no other way to describe these vehicles. They're buses with a body that looks like a trolley car. The trolleys run from 9:30 am to midnight daily, come around about every 20 minutes, and cost $2.50 (exact change required) Single One Way Ticket; $4.25 Day Pass - Good from 8:30am until 5:00pm; $4.25 Night Pass - Good from 5:00pm until Midnight;
$6.50 All Day Pass Available for Purchase from Driver. $120.00 per hour Charter Service, Trolley seats up to 30 people with 2 hour minimum hire and it does not include 15% driver gratuity.
The route starts at the Stratosphere at the north end of the Strip, loops over to the off-Strip LV Hilton, and stops at several of the major Strip hotels. It's probably the best way to get over to the Strip if you're staying at the Hilton. The main drawback of the trolley is that it's slow. A number of the stops are made when the trolley is going both north and south bound (Fashion Show Mall for example). They stop in the "tour bus" areas of most resorts which means they have to weave their way in and out of the resort complexes and that takes time. And given the number of stops the trolley makes you'll still have to do a little walking. For example, the stop at Harrah's is also the stop for the Venetian. The stop at Harrah's is a little hard to find. You have to go through Harrah's to the back of the casino and exit near the hotel's registration desk. Off to the left you'll see a large "Bus Departures" sign. You have to go through the doorway below this sign to get to the stop. Note that this trolley stop is also used by the Sam's Town shuttle bus.

 Part of the huge Mandalay
Bay Complex by SabrinaSummerville
We were staying at the luxurious Four Seasons, and I had requested a car, so I trusted the Agent to come up with something nice.
My heart sank when I followed the directions and found myself at a coach pickup depot. I bit my tongue, pocketed any bit of snobbery, and decided to go along with it. At the ticket desk I asked the ticket girl if we would be dropped right to the hotel door and she said we would. We queued for about half an hour in the sun and eventually our shared bus arrived and picked up about fourteen passengers.
We arrived at the huge Mandalay Bay complex and the driver shouted "Four Seasons." I could see no reference to Four Seasons anywhere, but our luggage was now in the valet parking area in front of Mandalay Bay and we had no option but to disembark.
We spent fifteen minutes wandering the hotel ground before we eventually found the very clearly marked and very seperate entrance to Four Seasons.
Not great for Grey Line who promised to drop us at the door, and worse for the Irish agent who had been asked for (and charged for) a car.
The good side is that it costs just ten dollars for the round trip.
The hotel provided a beautiful Lincoln town car for our return airport trip:-) Leave a Comment Theme: BusOther Contact: Outside Exit gate 10, Airport.

The Las Vegas Strip is a miserable place to drive, and a near-impossible place to park. Walking is far better, and enables one to work off some of the calories from the big, all-you-can-eat buffets. You also see more, and can always stop and do whatever strikes your fancy.
If you're going too far to walk, use the bus. Bus 301 runs between Downtown Transportation Center (DTC) and South Strip, 24 hours. Buses leave every 10 -15 minutes. There are many stops. Bus 302, the Strip Express, runs between the DTC and the Southern Transfer Center, with fewer stops. Bus 301 cost $1.25 (exact change required). Bus 302 costs $2.00. Take the bus, and save yourself a lot of time and trouble. Leave a Comment

Inexpensive and reliable transportation is provided by Citizens Area Transit, known locally as CAT. Buses run along the Strip 24 hours a day. The one-way fare is $1.25 and exact fare is required.
THE DEUCE, a 24-hour double-decker bus, stops at almost every Casino on the Strip and the Las Vegas Convention Center during major conventions. The cost is $2.00 one-way or $5.00 for an all-day pass.
Update: The Deuce is now $3.00 one-way and $7.00 for an all-day pass. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Taxis may be quicker, but Shuttles are cheaper as a rule. There is usually a bunch of them lined up at McCarran Airport ready to take you to your hotel. I suggested to Hans to buy a return ticket, so that's what he did. He took the GRAY LINE AIRPORT SHUTTLE to Circus Circus and paid the round trip fare of $11.00 . As he had to get back to the airport for his return flight, he called the shuttle service in advance and was given a time and confirmation number. Well, he waited and waited and no one showed up. So when another shuttle company came to the waiting area, he took that and paid again, as he didn't want to be late for the airport. So- so much for saving time and money. Sorry about that Hans. If I had looked at other people's tips about the Gray Line, I would have seen that this seems to be a chronic problem with them. So beware! My suggestion is just to pay for a single trip.
