| - I'm pretty sure this thing is named so not because it's a double decker bus, but because it travels at half the speed of everyone else on Las Vegas Blvd.
For the tourists who decide to be "eco friendly" and save a buck or two, this is the way to get up and down the Strip. However, please know beforehand that it is $2.00 one way and $5.00 for a 24-hour pass. The bus does not make change, so please come with EXACT CHANGE. If not, just shove that $10 bill in. You're already in Vegas, shouldn't seeing your bills disappear be like second nature by now? And don't do the opposite by lugging your quarter collection from 1978 to pay for 20 people's fares with only quarters. The 300 people on the bus and the 80 people behind you appreciate it.
For everyone else, you should just be avoiding this street if your life depended on it. If you're in a hurry to get somewhere, the Deuce is not an option. Go around and just cut in from streets like Tropicana, Flamingo, or Spring Mountain.
The Deuce stops at almost every major hotel on the Strip, but the drivers try to collect every single tourist under the sun, despite the fact that there is another bus not too far behind it. Please, most of the people taking this bus are on vacation! I'm sure they can wait seven to ten more minutes for the next bus, considering they are willing to wait an hour and a half for a buffet!
The CAT system should definitely consider having a locals/employees bus line for the Strip. But keep the Deuce for the tourists. It's a nice touch for their Vegas experience.
