Bill, they have a double decker bus that goes from downtown to the Mandalay Bay Casino which you pay $8.00 a day and get an all access pass which allows you to go any direction the bus runs. They also have a monorail which only runs parallel to the East side of the Strip from the Sahara (close to the Circus-Circus) four (4) miles to the MGM Casino. Haven’t found out that price yet.
