Las Vegas/Downtown

Downtown Las Vegas is the older part of Las Vegas, a few miles north of the Strip.

Get in
Downtown is accessible by car, taxi or bus. To get in by bus from the Strip, take the Deuce service — depending on where you get on the trip can take 10-20 minutes in light traffic, much more if the Strip is gridlocked.

From the airport, the CX (Centennial Express) service takes you directly to Downtown. See the RTC website for schedules and routes (also for getting in from elsewhere in the Las Vegas Valley).

If you feel like walking, you can walk north along Las Vegas Boulevard from the Strip for a couple of hours (depending on where you start), and eventually arrive in Downtown.

Sleep
Most accommodations in Downtown tend to be of the budget variety, owing to the distance to the Strip. However, hotels in Downtown still put you within very close distance to the casinos of Fremont Street. The Downtown area is also where you'll find the few hostels Las Vegas has.
