Non-Backtracking Route Guide
Traveling solo across the U.S. without a car, my second stop was Vegas! Hereβs my efficient, no-repeat itinerary π«‘ π Transport Tips Bus Pass: 2-hour pass $6, 24-hour pass $8. Get the day pass β all buses accept it, and the Deuce bus runs frequently along the Strip. β οΈ Note: Rush hour traffic can be heavy! Rideshare: Uber/Lyft are affordable here. From the airport to the Strip hotels: ~20 mins. πΊοΈ Strip Walking Route (North β South, All Free to Enter) Right Side of the Strip β π Wynn Hotel: Famous buffet (seafood & dessert sections). π Dinner 1 PMβ9 PM, reserve ahead ~$100/person incl. tax & tip. π The Sphere: Free viewing spot at Sphere Vista Point (Bridge) between Wynn & Palazzo. π Emoji light shows every ~20 mins β so cute! β€οΈ π The Venetian: Gondola rides outdoors, indoor mall just like Macau πΆ. π Flamingo Hotel: Real flamingos in the garden π¦©. π Paris Las Vegas: Eiffel Tower replica & European-style buildings πΌ. Cross to Left Side of the Strip π Bellagio: Stunning seasonal floral displays in the lobby πΈ. Cross Back to Right Side π M&Mβs World, Coca-Cola Store, ABC Store β all next to each other. ποΈ ABC Store has black Hello Kitty & My Melody keychains/plushies β highly recommended! π Happy Lemon + Panda Express: Located on the 2nd floor of the nearby mall. π§ Got my boba fix (though ~Β₯50/cup π₯Ή). π Welcome to Vegas Sign (near the airport) β skipped due to time. β οΈ Important Notes Book hotels 2+ weeks early β Vegas hotels have local discount websites, last-minute prices surge. All hotels charge ~$40 resort fee at check-in. Safety: The Strip is safe even late β lots of tourists, minimal homeless presence. North of STRAT Hotel is quieter with more unhoused people β return early if staying there. π° One-Day Cost Breakdown (Approx.) Hostel: Β₯340 Wynn Buffet: Β₯700 Two 24-hour bus passes: Β₯100 Happy Lemon + Panda Express: Β₯180 Hawaiian Black Hello Kitty: Β₯200 Total: ~Β₯1,520 ποΈ Beyond the Strip For Antelope Canyon + Horseshoe Bend day trips (~$200) or multi-day national park loops, rent a car or join a guided tour β highly recommended if you have extra time! Vegas in a day: iconic sights, tasty bites, and efficient travel β no car needed! Solo, savvy, and full of sparkly memories #US #Florida #Las Vegas
