Las Vegas Strip is portion of Las Vegas Boulevards where the many of the Vegas' hotels/casinos are located. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Besides gambling, resorts on the Las Vegas Strip offer world class dining, shopping, and entertainment.

RTC Transit buses operate on Las Vegas Boulevard at the center of the strip. On the east side of the boulevard, Monorail (fare required) provides traffic free access to east side destinations. On the west side, two automated tram lines (both are free but not interconnected) serve various resorts. It is necessary to cross the street on foot outdoor (at crossing or via overpass) to get from east to west and across Tropicana Ave which separates the west side tram lines.

RTC Transit buses provide access between the Strip and Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas as well as outlet malls.
