The Deuce (transit bus service)

The Deuce is a transit bus service serving the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Originally The Deuce meant four things: (1) buses on the route were double decked; (2) the one-way fare was $2; (3) the route served the two primary gaming areas, the Strip and Downtown; and (4) the first batch of vehicles bought primarily for the service were assigned fleet numbers starting with "2".

[3] Previously, RTC planned to shorten The Deuce on the Strip from the current 9.3 miles to just the 5 miles of the Strip from Mandalay Bay Casino to Palace Station on Sahara Avenue.

However, the first week of the service change, the northern portion of the route was reinstated with buses continuing to serve the Downtown Transportation Center, while still ending at Mandalay Bay the hours that the SDX operated.

[4] When the SDX was cancelled, buses returned to the Deuce's original route, from South Strip Transit Terminal to Fremont Street.

They are also 2 feet longer than the present double deckers, and have earned the nickname "Superdeuce."
