| - Last summer, I went on vacation to the strip and since my parents didn't have the energy they used to have to walk to hotels with free attractions, we decided to take The Deuce to the hotels.
Since we were staying at Vegas for 4 days, we bought the 24 hour bus passes cuz we planned to relax for the 3rd day :D The bus pass fares were rather cheap, 8 bucks for a pass and since they expire after a day, it's well worth it.
We first boarded the bus around noon. The bus is fairly crowded, however it isn't packed, so expect the bus to be crowded at around the late morning to noon. The seats were also filled so i stood. It was my first time boarding a public bus and I didn't know what to expect when the bus started driving. Fortunately, I caught one of those rings dangling from the top of the 1st floor on time. We finally got to the place where we needed to be and we got off.
My experience didn't stop there. Night fell, and we were waiting for the bus to come. The bus was running a bit late since it has been past half and hour. It kinda feels cold since the very humid air mixed with the 80 degrees air along with a breeze can send chills through out your body.
The bus finally came and GODDAMN IT IS PACKED!!! The bus driver had to cut people off because there are too many people on the bus and some people wouldn't bother to go up to the second floor and I know for sure that it has 2 times less people on the second floor. Since the nearest person on the bus whose name isn't Yang was 8 inches away from me, I couldn't wait to get off of the bus back to the hotel I was staying at. In order to make room for people, I had to sit on the blocks where the handicapped was supposed to sit. EXTRA ROOM :D and I had tons of personal space.
We finally got off and we were a bit cranky because of the less personal space that we got. Nevertheless, we got outstanding service. Word of advice, don't board the bus at nighttime if you value your personal space, the monorail would be a better choice because it has less people or just call a cab.
