Venetian to Casino Royale to Harrah's to IP to O'Shea's to Flamingo to Bally's to Paris. Which sounds short but it's still probably over half a mile--call it 1km. Pleasant sorta stroll in March, no long waits for walk lights along the way--should be doable in <20 minutes.

Or be lazy and take the Deuce (the double-decker city buses) running up and down the strip. You can get a 24hr-pass for $5. I think single-trips are $2. From Paris to Venetian, I'm not sure if there is a stop in front of Paris--I know there is one right in front of Flamingo. Exit just past Venetian. On the return trip, cross over to the other side of the strip and catch the Deuce between TI and Mirage. Exit in front of Bellagio.

This advice becomes more valuable as the temp gets above 100 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] This time of year, it's a pleasant walk as stated above.

Sounds good, thanks for response. I was just hoping it wasn't a 45-60 minute walk.

I stayed at the Venetian last time I was in town and I also played at the Paris/Bellagio as well. You can get there in about 15-20 minutes for sure

I'm extraordinarily lazy when it comes to walking, and I've walked from the Wynn, on the far side of the Venetian, to the Aladdin, on the far side of Paris, without getting ticked off or tired. I wouldn't like it in the summer, but this weekend should be okay.

Four years back I walked from Excalibur to Palace Station - don't try that.

God no! That's a hike. It's not even fun in a car.

20 minutes to walk from Paris to Venetian. Unless you stop to chat with the slapper guys. The worst part is winding your way through the crowd in front of Harrahs.

Quicker walking than taking the Deuce. I've done both, many times.
