Wow, they sure did. From 11 free daily trips between downtown and Sam's to just 4.
Gutted.
However, it does come following last fall's launch of RTC's cool new Boulder Highway Express, which offers 50+ trips each direction every day, so that helps.
OUCH! Noticed on my visit to LV this past Dec. that they no loner used the large tour buses and scaled down to smaller 20-30 passenger type bus/vans that are used for the airport shuttles. I liked the chance to get out of town for a few hours but looks like this may be somewhat less convenient the next time I am out there.

Is the implication that the shuttle is only for those staying at Sam's? We have always ridden it out to Sam's in the past when we were actually staying DTown. Have to get better acquainted with the Boulder Highway Express bus I guess.
Logic suggests they may ask if you are a hotel guest only because they will give priority to hotel guests rather than downtown free riders if capacity is reached.
I had no problem going from Sams to downtown.When I was returning he asked if I was staying at Sams.I said yes and he said if I wasn't,I could not use the bus.It's also a new company.Showtime lost the contract.The new name escapes me.
I am going to Vegas at the end of February so I will try it. It would make sense if it is for to hotel guests that it would include those that are staying at the Boyd properties and I am staying at the Fremont.
I will ask on their Facebook page if it is for Sam's Town guests only.
