Las Vegas Tour

Author: Yunn Yee

just went Las Vegas last two months, on my way back from Fond du Lac to Msia. The weather is extremely hot (ard 45 Celsius)... I went during Summer time....

Some tips for you, there is a rental car service near the Las Vegas Airport. You might take the rental car shuttle at the airport. It wil direct you to the rental car building. If you don’t want rent a car, you can take bus or taxi to The Strips.

All the hotels and casino located along the main street, The Strips. Each hotel has own theme. The main thing u can do in Vegas except gambling, is to visit all of these hotels...Las Vegas is a busy place, a lot of cars and visitors, even though in weekday. The expenses in Las Vegas are quite high, but you still can find some FREE show to watch especially during night time.

You can find all the information for Las Vegas from this website: http://www.vegas.com/. It is

quite helpful website.

Transport
There is public transport in Las Vegas which connects few hotels. It’s like Monorail in KL. It connects hotels in The Strips. There are 7 stations. You can drop by any nearby station base on the place you wish to visit. A few type of fare package, I think the worth package is US$9 for one day pass. If not you can take the one ride ticket which already cost US$5. The operation hour start on 7am to 2am (weekday), 7am to 3am (weekend).

If you want to visit Downtown or off the Strip, then you need to take cab or bus or drive out.
