A guaranteed win.
For $7, the pass is active for 24 hours from whence purchased and the bus runs the loop for 24 hours. One way? $3. For a three day pass? $15. Can't beat the price.
We rented a taxi twice and the fare on that was already $21, split three ways. Something I normally don't mind, but during 100+ degrees on the strip, waiting and attempting to flag down a taxi is not something I personally look forward to (I can't stand the heat) and don't we all need gambling money?
The drawback? The wait on board is horrid. Sure, we were told another bus would be right behind us in the next ten minutes. But once we boarded, we were sitting at one stop for 15 minutes. Add in all the major construction along the block and the ride down to the Fremont St. experience took us 45 minutes.
But I'm not complaining. The best $7 spent and a guaranteed return on my first bet in Vegas!
