Commute reality
RTC Transit covers the Strip and Downtown reliably via the Deuce and SDX buses, and the privately run Las Vegas Monorail links Strip casinos. Off-Strip industrial zones (Henderson, North Las Vegas warehouses, Switch campuses) generally require a car; the Vegas Loop only serves the Convention Center and a few resort stops.
