| - we stupidly walked up to caesar's palace the 1st day from convention center dr lol, we got a slow motion view of everything on the strip that way, but i spent all week being sore from any and all walking we did on the strip lol. those damn pedestrian walkways/bridges on the strip were good in that u don't have to wait for the cross walk/cars, but bad in that it diverts u and causes u to do extra walking, which sux if ur sore like we were! so when we figured out the deuce was available, it was my heaven!
it's clean! no food, drinks, smoking, etc. (but u can bring food and drinks on there, just can't consume it)
there's 2 levels (i tried to avoid going on the 2nd level cuz i was scared of falling down the very narrow/cramped stairs. they want u to go up in the 'front' stairs, and down in the 'back' stairs.. but my husband made me go to the 2nd level on our 3rd day in vegas lol.. thankfully i didn't fall but i was very hesitant to be on those stairs when the bus was moving! the sign warns u not to do that, but it's kinda unavoidable if u don't wanna miss ur stop)
the stops are all pre announced and there's screen signs that update as it goes by each stop.
idk if the passes (1 and 3 days were bought by us) were a rip off or if they were a good deal lol, but we thought it was better than the other options..
one particular driver was really funny and friendly. he actually did full time announcing during the whole route like a tour bus guide announcer lol, he must do it on the side or be an aspiring one lol, he made us chuckle a bit :)
make sure u look at the bus stop signs to make sure the deuce even goes to that stop! we accidentally went on a side street by accident when we came out of the MGM, so we were at the wrong corner (not on las vegas blvd lol) and turned out we were at a reg bus stop lol. lots of time wasted waiting there for a deuce bus that was never gonna come! smh..
but keep in mind that the deuce is not immune to all the traffic on the strip, lots of waiting the whole ride. but hey, it's AC in there and if u can get a seat, enjoy it lol, but yeah don't depend on it to get u somewhere FAST lol. if ur needing to get somewhere fast on the strip, then just run lol
it's 24 hrs and comes frequently, we never waited long for it once we got to the stop.
it has many stops on the strip, but some hotels are clustered into 1 stop, rather than individual stops for each hotel, so u may have to do some walking regardless like we did... overall tho, it was undoubtedly MUCH better than walking the whole strip!
