How To Get To Fremont Street From The Strip

Ezoic

(Editor's annotation: In a cost-cut move, the SDX Express bus route from the Strip to downtown Fremont Street and back was eliminated past the Nevada RTC permanently in October of 2020. Below is our original commodity almost the route.

There are two buses that can take you from the Strip to the classic old school vibe of downtown Las Vegas' Fremont Street: The Deuce, and the Strip Downtown Express, or "SDX" for short.

The Deuce is the very pop bus line that runs up and down the Strip, and while it'southward neat for casino hopping on the Strip, it's not and so good for heading downtown.

Therefore, when heading to downtown Las Vegas, accept the SDX, rather than the Deuce. Although they accept similar prices and the same buses, the difference between the SDX and the Deuce is that the SDX has fewer stops, and thus, takes less time to get downtown.

The SDX is the fastest way from the Strip to downtown Fremont Street

Please also note that the Las Vegas bus system doesn't have a stop directly on Fremont Street. However in that location are 2 stops a block away: one stop north of Fremont, the other one block southward of Fremont Street.

I of the closest stops is just one cake southward of Fremont, on Carson Artery.

The stop is almost straight across the street from the Golden Nugget, and while parts of downtown Las Vegas are definitely sketchy, this finish is close enough to the Nugget and all the action that I consider it a prophylactic walk. (It's a two minute walk from this jitney stop to Fremont Street, says the mapping systems, withal in reality, the Golden Nugget is catty-corner from this stop.)

The other closest stop to the fun Fremont Street Experience is the one right in front of the California Hotel & Casino on Ogden Avenue.

SDX Motorcoach to Freemont Street – Schedule and Stops

The SDX runs from 9 AM to Midnight, seven days a calendar week. Buses run every 15 minutes during this time.

The Deuce, on the other hand, runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if yous detect yourself on Fremont Street after midnight, needing to get dorsum to the Strip, you'll still be able to catch a jitney.

Going to sometime Downtown Las Vegas from the Strip

(Here in yellowish, are all of the exact SDX stops when going northward from the Strip to Fremont Street. I personally double-checked these with maps and aerial maps. You can overstate this to find the exact location of the stop y'all demand.)

Unlike the Deuce, which has stops everywhere on the Strip, the SDX has just six bus stops on the Strip (there are other stops north of the Strip), when you're looking to hop on information technology to get to Fremont Street.

Mandalay Bay
MGM Grand
Paris
Wynn
Sahara Las Vegas
Stratosphere

Virtually people consider the Strip to cover the area on Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay to the Stratosphere, and so these stops do not include others not on the Strip, such as the stop in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center, and Boondocks Square Mall Las Vegas – the lovely outdoor shopping plaza virtually 1 and 1/ii miles south of Mandalay Bay.

Here are some estimated travel times from dissimilar Strip hotel SDX stops to former downtown Las Vegas:

A ride on the SDX double-decker from Mandalay Bay to Fremont Street would have you around 35 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.

MGM Grand: 32 – 35 minutes

Taking the SDX from the stop in front of the Paris Hotel and Casino (which is directly across the street from the Bellagio) to Fremont Street would take nearly thirty minutes.

Wynn: 20 to 25 minutes.

Going to the Strip from Fremont Street on the SDX

The southbound stops are very like to the northbound stops in terms of location. They are on the opposite side of the Strip of grade.

When headed to the Strip, (going s in other words), the SDX stops at (or across the street a niggling walk from), the following Strip hotels:

Stratosphere
Sahara Las Vegas
Style Bear witness Mall – (the stop for the Wynn, Venetian, and T.I. among others)
Bellagio
Excalibur – (the end for MGM Grand, New York – New York, Park MGM, amongst others)
Mandalay Bay

Again, while not part of the Strip, the SDX does continue south of Mandalay Bay to the Town Foursquare Mall on Las Vegas Boulevard, as well every bit the LV Premium Outlets South.

SDX Motorcoach Price

Taking the SDX express from the Strip to Fremont Street (or vice-versa), will toll you the same cost as information technology costs to ride the Deuce. Prices are as follows:

A ii hour unlimited ride pass: $6
24 hour laissez passer is $viii
3 Day pass is $xx

Interestingly, the all-you lot-can ride three day SDX bus laissez passer is notwithstanding less than you'd pay for a one fourth dimension taxi/Uber/Lyft ride from the Strip to Fremont Street and back.

Deuce to Fremont Street vs the SDX

Taking the Deuce from the Strip to old downtown Las Vegas, (Fremont Street) tin exist a minor form of hell – especially in summer. From the Flamingo to Fremont, it took my wife and I just nether an hour one time.

The combination of a crowded ride, foreign people, numerous stops, and an air conditioner that was non functioning to the level I would prefer (32 degrees), made what started out as a fun risk turn quickly into a slow painful decease. Unless it involves a lot of walking to the nearest SDX cease, your best choice is to always take the South Downtown Express.
