How to Get Around Las Vegas on the Cheap. If you plan to spend all your time in a major hotel on the Strip, you probably won't have to worry about transportation once you've arrived. Much of what you'll want to see and do will be within walking or shuttle distance of your hotel - or you can order a limo and see the town in style!
Ask when you make your reservation what transportation is offered free by the hotel. Many of the Strip hotels offer free shuttles to the airport, to shopping malls and to other Strip hotels.
Hop aboard the Strip trolley. The trolley goes up and down the Strip with stops at all the major hotels. A trolley comes by about every 20 minutes, and trolleys run until 2:00 a.m., making them a convenient way to get to shows and casinos.
Walk. While this is not advisable in all seasons (see Warnings, below), walking is a good way to meander along the Strip and check out the hotels and attractions. The Strip in its entirety is four miles long, so you may want to stick to the area around your hotel.
Use the Citizens Area Transit (CAT). Buses run to all areas of the city, with three lines serving the Strip.
Take a monorail. Some hotels have monorails that connect them with other hotels - for example, you can go from Bellagio to the Monte Carlo or from Excalibur to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. This service is free.
