Public transit and tram options
There is no direct train between the airport and the Strip; public transit requires one or more transfers and takes longer than a rideshare or taxi. The RTC Deuce bus runs along the Strip 24/7 with stops near Bellagio and Park MGM; the closest Deuce stop to Vdara is a short walk.
Vdara is connected to the CityCenter/Aria/Bellagio area and is served by the free Aria Express tram (Aria Express) between Park MGM, the Aria/CityCenter station, and Bellagio — the tram helps move you along the central Strip once you’re already on the Strip.
- Deuce bus: 24/7 service on Las Vegas Strip; fares and passes are purchased via RTC or at kiosks
- Aria Express (free tram): connects Bellagio, Crystals/CityCenter (Aria) and Park MGM; runs frequently
- Public transit is slower but cheaper than taxis/rideshares; expect longer travel time and walking between stops
| Service | When to use it |
|---|---|
| RTC Deuce bus | If you want the lowest-cost route from airport area with flexibility to reach downtown and Strip stops |
| Aria Express (free tram) | If you are already on the Strip and need to move between Park MGM, CityCenter/Aria, and Bellagio |
| Combined transit | Expect transfers and walking; not recommended if you have heavy luggage |
Airport shuttle services (third-party)
Vdara does not operate a complimentary or hotel-run airport shuttle. If you prefer a shuttle, look for private shuttle companies that serve the airport and the Strip; these require advance booking or ticket purchase at the airport shuttle counters.
Shared shuttles are typically less expensive than a private car but can take longer because they serve multiple stops. Confirm pickup/drop-off points and luggage rules when you book.
- Hotel-run shuttle: none (Vdara does not provide an airport shuttle)
- Shared shuttles: lower cost, multiple stops, advance reservation recommended
- Private shuttle or sedan: higher cost, direct transfer, book ahead for set pickup
| Shuttle type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Shared shuttle | Lower cost | Multiple stops; longer travel time |
| Private shuttle / sedan | Direct to hotel; set pickup | Higher cost; book in advance |
| Hotel shuttle | N/A | Vdara does not operate an airport shuttle |
Walking or connections from nearby resorts
Vdara sits between Bellagio and ARIA in the CityCenter complex. If you arrive at a nearby Strip hotel (for example, Bellagio or The Cosmopolitan), you can walk to Vdara via indoor walkways and pedestrian paths.
From Bellagio or The Cosmopolitan the walk is short — roughly 5–15 minutes depending on your starting point — and is often quicker than waiting for a shuttle during busy hours.
- Connected walkways: indoors and sheltered between CityCenter properties
- Nearby landmarks: Bellagio (about a 10-minute walk), The Cosmopolitan (about 7–8 minutes)
- If you have luggage, consider a short taxi or rideshare instead of walking
| From | Approximate walk time |
