Walking is one of the most popular means of traveling the Vegas Strip. Crosswalks remain the best way to cross the street, but a few elevated walkways are available that will save you the wait for a walk sign and the dangers of city traffic. You ll find them on the Vegas Strip between the Tropicana, New York-New York, the MGM and the Excalibur at Las Vegas Blvd. There are escalators and elevators up to the walkway. Once there, there are no mechanical devices across, though the distance is only as far as the physical street below.
Public buses have routes that travel the Strip.
The Vegas Strip routes are 301 and 302. There is a monorail to and from the MGM and Bally s, another one between the Mirage and Treasure Island, another between the Excalibur, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay and another between the Monte Carlo and Bellagio. Some casinos also offer free shuttle rides. All Strip casinos have a pick-up area for cabs where patrons wait in line for the next available vehicle. There s no need to call a taxi, but expect longer waits on busier weekends.
