Whether it is India or the US, taxis are exorbitantly costly especially between airport and the downtown.
During my recent travel to Las Vegas, I discovered that, just as in India, taxis often ask for an unfair fare and do not agree to go with the meter reading.
In this travel tip post, I will share the detailed procedure to take the Las Vegas city bus for just 2 Dollars from the airport to any hotel on the Strip.
After exiting the baggage pickup area, take the escalators to level 2 and look out for exit door #44
This is in terminal 3.
Just outside this gate cross the sidewalk is area for public buses with facilities like waiting benches.
A little ahead is an area marked for employee pickup-drop buses, taxis and so on. But they may not necessarily park in the respective zones. Especially taxis would try to encroach into the public bus area to lure passengers.
There are luggage carts available for incoming passengers, though unlike in India they are not free.
Soon a bus will arrive that looks similar but not this one. The frequency is 15 minutes.
The bus has two doors - one in the middle and another at the front. Both are accessible via retractable ramps.
Inside the bus are reserved seats for the differently abled and also ample luggage space.
Detailed information about support for customers with disabilities including support call number is displayed inside the bus.
Both day pass and hourly passes are available for as low as USD 2
This is very less compared to Taxis that charge anything ahead of USD 12 depending on the Hotel on the Strip or downtown.
The bus dropped us on the strip and the driver helped identify the nearest way to our Hotel - Mandalay Bay and Casino.
Though we had to walk a block away, it was an enjoyable walk gazing at the amazing Las Vegas skyline and the extravagant neon displays.
Note that not all road crossings in Las Vegas are Zebras. There are open sky bridges which may not have escalators.
After that I took the free tram from Excalibur Hotel and Casino.
This tram is free, and this is the entrance on the sky bridge.
The tram entrance is accessible and leveled with the platform.
Seating is limited and most of the space is for standing passengers.
The entrance section is clearly labeled, and the tracks can also be seen.
The timings are 10 am to 12 midnight. Party animals in Las Vegas do not need a tram earlier than 10 am 
The tram has 3 stops.
First stop is Hotel Luxor Casino and the final stop that dropped us right inside the Hotel Mandalay Bay Casino.
In this way you can save tens of dollars in Las Vegas to travel to and from the airport to any hotel on the strip.
And also, the maddening traffic of Las Vegas
The fortunate part is that unlike in Germany, washrooms and drinking water is free in most parts of the US similar to that in India.
Hope you find this detailed travel tip useful on your next trip to the Fabulous Las Vegas 
I’m talking about the area where I live, in Northern Italy.
. Traffic was absolutely mad and Ubers were cramped vs a spacious and cool option like this - you made it look easy!
Good money saving post!
