Seasoned travellers who have touched down in the desert oasis for a vacation - or a business trip - are keen to the fact the gambling mecca is a sprawling Metropolis that stretches for miles in all directions.
Subsequently, hiking around on foot - especially when the tropical paradise is suffering through a sizzling-hot heatwave soaring into the three digits - is out-of-the-question!
For starters, practical tourists may be inclined to rent an economy-size vehicle (some may go hog wild and choose to tool around in a candy-apple red Ferrari and pay through the nose for the thrill-ride) or simply flag what used-to-be a moderately-priced cab.
'Til recently, that is!
The City just granted a request by Frias Transportation to allow a surcharge in the sum of $3.00 every time a rider presents plastic to pay for their fare - which has raised the stakes - considerably.
So, budget-minded folks may now opt to spring for a day pass on the "Deuce" ($7.00 for 24 hours) which is a bus provided by the City of Las Vegas which zips up and down the strip hourly.
Unfortunately, because the double-decker bus was poorly-designed (passengers often bump their heads when they go to-and-from their seats because of low ceilings or knock their knees because each nook is too small for the four passengers which it was crafted to accommodate) folks who don't cater to the idea of rubbing shoulders with strangers may be forced to look elsewhere.
How about a scooter?
A trendy little sucker may be rented for $49.00 a day.
Too pricey?
Rickshaw, anyone?
