getting around in Vegas, The Strip

Depending on the time of year you visit, walking is often the best way to get around once in your area of town. A monorail runs the length of the 4-mile Strip, between the MGM Grand on the south end to the Sahara at the northern end, with stops at Paris/Bally's, the Flamingo, Harrah's, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Las Vegas Hilton.

Bus No. 301, operated by CAT, runs from the Downtown Transportation Center to south of The Strip. The fare is $1.75 per adult. Otherwise, taxis galore line up in front of all major hotels. Cabs charge $3.30 at the meter drop and $0.20 for each additional 1/12 mile.
