The tourist part of Las Vegas (the "strip") is very small and you can
easily walk from one to the other in just a few minutes.


Mandalay Bay to Wynn (the useful strip) is about a mile and a half. Wynn
to downtown is another two miles. I walk those routes all the time, but
the heat is often oppressive and wouldn't allow most people to do so.

But there are buses along the strip for which you can get daily or
longer passes to wander about as you like. I'd recommend them.

IMO, the tram line running up to the convention center and the Hilton is
ridiculously expensive and not often convenient.


I assume you man the monorail. I couldn't believe the fares when I looked
them up. didn't seem to be that convenient for strolling parts of the
Strip, either.
