Q:
Awhile back you mentioned that the price for the 24-hour Deuce bus was going up to $7. Has it happened yet? If not, when will it take effect? We'll be there in march and want to make sure we have the right amount of cash. Thanks.
A:
The price to ride the Deuce, the fleet of Citizen Area Transit double-decker sightseeing buses that have plied the Strip and other routes since 2005, has already been raised.
The one-ride fee is $3. The 24-hour Access pass is now $7 (the 24-hour period begins the moment you purchase the pass). You can also get a three-day All-Access Pass for $15, which allows you to ride any bus in the CAT system for 72 hours.

One of those preemptive reader updates, submitted before today's answer even ran lol:
"About tomorrow's QOD. I was in town recently and got the $7 24-hour pass on Monday 2/23. I thought Mon. would be a light day but the Deuce was a nightmare. Buses were continually packed to the point of passing up stops crowded with hopeful riders. The ride from Excalibur (I know I got on the wrong side of the Strip) to downtown was 2 hours and that is no exaggeration. Until they get their act together, I won't be riding it again. A taxi would certainly cost more but it would have saved me much valuable time." [Ed: In contrast, those readers who've reviewed/rated
The Deuce on LasVegasAdvisor.com have generally given it glowing reviews, although these do pre-date the price hike.]
