Deuce bus stops are dedicated pickup and drop-off points along the Las Vegas Strip, designed to streamline boarding for RTC Deuce service. These marked stops separate riders from general curb traffic, helping buses stay on schedule.
Below is a quick reference to the most useful details about Deuce stops, including routes, amenities, safety, and frequency benchmarks.

Scheduling and headways on the Deuce
The Deuce operates at varied intervals based on time of day and demand, with daytime service roughly every 15 to 20 minutes. After midnight and on holidays, headways extend, so checking the real-time display or app is important for minimizing wait times.
On-time performance and reliability
Traffic congestion, special events, and weather can affect Deuce timing at different stops. Staying at the curb until the bus activates its doors reduces the risk of missing your ride, especially near high-traffic resorts.
Safety features and infrastructure
Many Deuce stops include lighting, clear sightlines, and CCTV monitoring to improve passenger confidence. Enhanced stations also provide emergency call boxes and visual alerts for approaching buses.
Accessibility and rider services
Kneeling buses and level boarding support riders with mobility devices, while staff at major stops can assist with route questions. Real-time arrival information is increasingly available at priority locations along the Strip.
