The Deuce runs between the Strip and Downtown and has a stop for the Mob Museum:

  • Look for the stop: “Stewart & 4th St (Mob Museum)”
  • Deuce service is 24/7, with higher frequency during the day/evening

Strip & All Access fares (RTC):

  • Single ride: $4
  • 2-hour pass: $6
  • 24-hour pass: $8
  • 3-day pass: $20

✅ Best for: budget travel, sightseeing, flexible timing
⚠️ Common mistake: boarding without the right pass (Strip fares differ from residential routes).

Option B: 🚖 Rideshare / Taxi

Fast and simple—especially at night or with a group. (Price varies wildly by demand.)

✈️ Airport Connections (LAS → Mob Museum)

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) has public transit routes that connect you toward downtown:

  • Routes 108, 109, and CX serve the airport at Terminal 1 (Level Zero); CX also serves Terminal 3.

Route plan (simple + reliable): Airport → BTC → Mob Museum

  1. From LAS: take Route 108 or 109 toward Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) (downtown).
  2. From BTC, transfer to:
    • The Deuce toward the Mob Museum stop (Stewart & 4th).
    • or the Downtown Loop free shuttle (see below).

Alternate: Airport → CX → Downtown

  • CX also connects the airport area with downtown stops including BTC.

✅ Best for: solo travelers, daytime arrivals, avoiding surge pricing
⚠️ Tip: If your arrival is late-night, rideshare/taxi may be more practical.

🅿️ Parking (if you drive)

  • On-site lot next to the Museum: $8 for the first four hours (then additional hourly charge).

If it’s full, nearby casino garages can be alternatives (walkable).

🚌 Downtown Loop (FREE shuttle option)

Downtown Las Vegas has a free shuttle called the Downtown Loop, and it includes a stop for the Mob Museum.

✅ Best for: hopping between Fremont/Downtown attractions without paying fares
⚠️ Always check operating times before depending on it.

✅ Practical tips (save time + avoid mistakes)

✅ Go early or late if you hate crowds (midday can be busy).

✅ Don’t assume every experience is included—Crime Lab / Use of Force require special tickets.
⚠️ Check age rules before buying add-ons (11+ / 13+ rules matter).
⚠️ Verify early closures on the Museum site before heading out.
