See the Strip and Downtown Without Driving
Big Bus Las Vegas gives visitors an elevated view of the Las Vegas Strip, the Arts District, and Downtown Las Vegas from an open-top double-decker sightseeing bus. The daytime route allows passengers to leave the bus at designated stops, explore nearby attractions, and board a later bus when ready to continue.
Guests who prefer a continuous overview can remain aboard for the full daytime circuit. Recorded audio commentary in English and Spanish provides stories and information about resorts, landmarks, neighborhoods, and Las Vegas history along the route.
Evening choices provide panoramic sightseeing after dark rather than daytime-style hop-on hop-off service. The standard Evening Tour focuses on the illuminated Strip and Downtown, while the Neon Museum Night Tour adds a Welcome Sign photo stop and admission to the Neon Boneyard.
Big Bus works well for first-time visitors, families, couples, groups, and travelers who want an introduction to the city before choosing which landmarks to explore in greater detail. Visitors can compare the available tickets with other Las Vegas tours and attractions based on price, route flexibility, departure time, and included experiences.

What to Expect on Big Bus Tours Las Vegas
The open upper deck offers the clearest views but remains exposed to direct sun, heat, cold, wind, and occasional rain. The enclosed lower deck provides more weather protection and is the practical option for passengers who cannot climb the stairs.
Designated Boarding Stops
Drivers load and unload passengers only at approved Big Bus locations. Confirm the exact boarding point rather than waiting at another entrance to the same resort.
Variable Bus Frequency
Daytime buses generally arrive every 30–60 minutes, but traffic, road closures, special events, and service changes can increase the wait.
Mobile Route Information
The Big Bus app can provide stop information, walking directions, service alerts, and available live bus locations.
Recorded Audio
Passengers can use the available English or Spanish commentary to learn about landmarks along the route.
Weather Exposure
Secure hats, tickets, maps, and lightweight belongings before sitting on the open upper deck.
Big Bus Accessibility and Family Information
Big Bus operates wheelchair-accessible Las Vegas vehicles with lifts capable of accommodating up to 650 pounds. Not every vehicle has a lift, so guests who require an accessible bus should contact Big Bus at least 48 hours before the tour and receive confirmation.
The upper deck is reached by stairs and may not be accessible to passengers with mobility limitations. The enclosed lower deck still provides sightseeing windows and access to the audio commentary.
Children ages 2 and younger ride free. Child tickets apply to ages 3–12, and all children must travel with someone age 16 or older.
Strollers and pushchairs are permitted but must be folded and stored on the lower deck while the bus is moving.
