the las vegas strip

i live on the las vegas strip and thought i would blog about what i see. hope this helps you to enjoy your visit. the strip runs south to north from mandalay bay south to circus circus north. further north is the stratosphere and your last stop is old town "freemont street"light show. remember when your on the strip everything appears closer than it is, so if you are walking take water, vegas climate is very dry. best months to come to vegas; march april may september october november. summer is hot hot 100-112 ouch! there are two forms of transportation on the strip, the deuce a double-deck bus and the ace gold. the deuce runs 24/7 every 7 to 15 minutes on the strip, it is very slow, stops at every crack in the road. the ace gold looks like a small train, it is the express bus, way faster, runs every 7 to 15 minutes depending on time of day from 9am to midnight. ticket machines are at most bus stops for $7. for a 24 hour pass which can be used on both buses anytime during that 24 hour period. you must have exact change or a card to buy a ticket. your hotel concierge is your best friend in vegas, they are most often located near the hotel check-in. the concierge knows everything or will find anything you need to know---shopping, shows, food, shuttles, maps, night-clubs ,beach/pool parties, forms of transportation and much more. be informed of your choices, be less stressed and have more fun! don't forget to tip, only the big boys at the top get rich here, not the ones on the other end.   don't forget this is a 24/7 drinking town, don't drink and drive, there are to many on the road already. use the bridges and crosswalks  a ride to the hospital will cost you about $700. remember  even if vegas is sometimes called  sin city  they will take you to jail       each time blog i will tell you whats -up in each hotel as i move from the beginning of the strip (mandalay bay) to  the end at freemont street.   if you have a question for me just blog me and i'll find what you need.
