Las Vegas Hotels With a Free Shuttle to the Strip: What Still Runs in 2026

Las Vegas hotels with a free shuttle to the Strip are much rarer than most online lists suggest. When we checked in November 2026, two hotels still published one: Westgate, with a courtesy van to Treasure Island and Fremont Street, and Embassy Suites Convention Center, with an hourly run to Fashion Show mall. Several off-Strip casinos that once ran Strip shuttles now offer airport service only, or point you to the city bus.

How we checked: we read each hotel’s own transportation, shuttle and FAQ pages on Nov. 4, 2026, including Westgate’s current schedule, and we only list a shuttle as running when the hotel publishes it. Hilton’s site blocks automated reads, so the Embassy Suites details are from our October 2026 check. Our review method explains how we date each fact.

This is what each hotel publishes, as of November 2026. “No” means the hotel says it has no such service or lists none.

The ranking puts a free ride to the Strip first, then the best airport shuttles, because an airport van is the next-biggest saving if you won’t rent a car. Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

1. Westgate Las Vegas: Best Free Shuttle to the Strip

1

Best Free Shuttle to the Strip

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino

Off-Strip · Mid-range

• Next to Convention Center
• Monorail station
• Westgate SuperBook
• Barry Manilow

Westgate’s courtesy shuttle leaves the North Tower entrance for Treasure Island’s Sirens’ Cove stop at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Return trips from TI leave at 11:30 a.m., 12:30, 1:30, 4:30, 5:30, 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. It’s free; you show your room key when you board.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Two evening runs go downtown: the van leaves Westgate for the Four Queens at 7:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m., and the last ride back to Westgate leaves 3rd Street and Carson Avenue at 9:15 p.m. That gives you a two-hour Fremont Street window on the 7:15 departure; after the 9:45 run, plan a rideshare home. The same vans also serve Westgate Flamingo Bay, another Westgate resort, so expect a stop there on some runs.

Westgate has more going for car-free travelers than the van. Its Monorail station is on site, with trains every four to eight minutes to SAHARA, the Convention Center and the center Strip, and a Vegas Loop station sits at the porte-cochère. Our Westgate review covers the rooms, and the schedule is linked from Westgate’s transportation page.

Watch out for: the shuttle rules. No luggage, food, drinks or smoking on board, seats are first come, first served, and the hotel says a wheelchair-accessible shuttle isn’t available (the front desk offers alternatives). There’s no free airport van; Westgate points guests to LASxpress, an airport shuttle company you book separately. Self-parking costs extra, and the resort fee is $49.99 + tax (as of October 2026).

2. Embassy Suites Convention Center: Best Non-Casino Hotel With a Strip Shuttle

2

Best Non-Casino Hotel With a Strip Shuttle

Embassy Suites by Hilton Convention Center Las Vegas

Off-Strip (Convention Center) · Mid-range

• Free breakfast
• Indoor pool
• Scheduled local shuttle (not airport)
• Suite accommodation

Hilton’s page for this non-gaming Embassy Suites listed a shuttle “only to the Las Vegas Convention Center, LV Monorail, and Fashion Show Mall every hour from 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.,” with times subject to change, when we checked in October 2026.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Fashion Show mall is on the Strip, so the hourly van puts you on the boulevard without a rideshare. Rooms are suites, and a made-to-order breakfast and an evening reception are included, which helps on a budget. The indoor pool and outdoor hot tub are useful in winter, when many resort pools close for the season.

Watch out for: there’s no airport shuttle, self-parking was $18 a day at last check in October 2026, and the 15-hour shuttle day ends at 10:30 p.m. Confirm the current schedule at the front desk, because Hilton’s site wouldn’t load for us in November. If you’re here for a show, our guide to hotels near the Las Vegas Convention Center compares the walkable options.

3. South Point: Best Free Airport Shuttle Off the Strip

Best Free Airport Shuttle Off the Strip

South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa

Off-Strip (South) · Mid-range

• Airport shuttle (in resort fee)
• Free parking
• 64-lane bowling center
• Arena & NFR-week events

South Point’s shuttle runs between the hotel and Harry Reid International Airport for hotel guests only, with 13 departures from the hotel between 6 a.m. and 8:45 p.m. and 13 airport pickups between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. at Terminal 1, Level Zero.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Reserve by calling 866-791-7626 with your flight details; the hotel doesn’t take same-day reservations, and unreserved seats go to walk-ups first come, first served. Terminal 3 arrivals take the airport tram to Terminal 1. Rooms measure 500 square feet, parking and valet are free, and the resort fee is $33 per room per night (as of October 2026). Details are on South Point’s shuttle page.

Watch out for: there’s no Strip shuttle. South Point’s own transportation page sends guests to city buses, which it says run about every 30 minutes from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. The hotel also says seats aren’t guaranteed and the service isn’t meant for group transfers.

4. Silverton: Best Hourly Airport Runs

4

Best Hourly Airport Runs

Silverton Casino Lodge

Off-Strip (South) · Mid-range

• Free airport shuttle
• Free parking
• 117,000-gallon aquarium
• Swimmin' Hole pool deck

Silverton’s complimentary airport shuttle leaves the hotel valet at 15 minutes past most hours from 7:15 a.m. to 9:15 p.m., and the schedule lists the ride at 15 minutes. Airport pickups are at Ground Level (Level Zero), at half past the hour from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

There are 13 trips each way, with no 1:15 p.m. or 5:15 p.m. departure. Reservations must be made 24 hours ahead, and the hotel won’t pick you up at the airport without one. Parking and valet are free, and the shuttle page has the booking link.

Watch out for: each vehicle holds only four passengers, the service is for hotel guests only, and every registered guest must be 21. There’s no Strip shuttle.

5. M Resort: Best for Raiders Game Days

5

Best for Raiders Game Days

M Resort Spa Casino

Off-Strip (Henderson) · Mid-range

• Free parking
• Airport shuttle (in fee)
• DayDream adults-only pool
• Quieter setting

M Resort includes an airport shuttle in its resort fee (reservations required), and hotel guests can reserve game-day transportation to Allegiant Stadium. Self-parking and valet are complimentary.

Check Prices on Booking.comRead our review

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Children 18 and under stay free with a paying adult, and the resort fee is $39.99 + tax (as of October 2026). The Raiders’ remaining 2026 home games are Nov. 15 and Dec. 13, 20 and 27, per the team’s schedule.

Watch out for: there’s no regular Strip shuttle, and M Resort sits in Henderson at the far south end of Las Vegas Boulevard, so every non-game outing is a drive or a rideshare.

6. Silver Sevens: Best Airport Shuttle on Paradise Road

6

Best Airport Shuttle on Paradise Road

Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino

Paradise Road · Budget

• Free airport shuttle
• Free parking
• Casino & sportsbook
• Heated lagoon pool

It’s on Paradise Road, east of the Strip, and its heated lagoon-style Paradise Pool is a plus in cooler months. Our airport shuttle hotels guide covers it alongside the Hilton airport properties.

Watch out for: the hotel says the schedule changes with weather, traffic and operating conditions, and there’s no Strip shuttle.

7. The Orleans: Best for Arena Events (Ask About the Shuttle)

7

Best for Arena Events

The Orleans Hotel & Casino

Off-Strip (West) · Mid-range

• Orleans Arena
• Bowling & 18-screen cinema
• NFR Express shuttle stop
• Parking included in resort fee

Boyd Gaming’s west-side resort has the Orleans Arena, a bowling center and an 18-screen movie theater under one roof, and its $46.32 resort fee, tax included, covers self-parking and valet.

Check Prices on Booking.comRead our review

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

The Gold Coast–Orleans loop to Fashion Show mall still appears on several 2026 free-shuttle lists. But The Orleans’ own site no longer lists a shuttle, and we couldn’t load a current schedule from Boyd in November 2026. Call Gold Coast at 702-367-7111 before you plan around it. During the National Finals Rodeo in December, the free NFR Express stops at The Orleans’ valet entrance; our NFR hotels guide has the routes.

Watch out for: if the loop isn’t running, you’re paying a rideshare to the Strip each way.

8. El Cortez: Best Downtown Pick With an Airport Drop-Off

8

Best Downtown Pick With an Airport Drop-Off

El Cortez Hotel & Casino

Downtown · Budget

• Adults only (21+)
• Historic casino
• Fremont East bars
• Free guest parking

El Cortez runs a courtesy airport shuttle for drop-offs only, daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with limited seats, a reservation required and a maximum of five people. Garage parking is included in its $30-plus-tax amenities fee.

For the Strip, the Deuce bus runs 24 hours from downtown along Las Vegas Boulevard. If you’d rather pay for a ride to the airport, nearby The D lists Bell Limousine shuttles from $15 per person each way.

Watch out for: the shuttle won’t pick you up at the airport, so plan an arrival by taxi, rideshare or bus.

No shuttle, but close to the Strip: Palms, Rio and Virgin Hotels

These three sit close to the Strip, and none runs a shuttle. Palms’ FAQ says “at this time we do not offer shuttle service to the strip,” Rio says it offers no hotel shuttle from the airport or to the Strip, and Virgin Hotels says there’s no shuttle dedicated to the hotel. What they offer instead is free parking, self and valet, at all three, which makes them a good fit for drivers; our list of Las Vegas hotels with free parking has the details.

Shuttles that old lists still advertise

• Sam’s Town: the shuttle page now lists Bell Trans private cars and RTC buses. There’s no courtesy run to the Strip or downtown.
• Suncoast: same listing, Bell Trans and RTC only.
• South Point: airport only; the Strip page points to city buses.
• Silverton: airport only.
• M Resort: airport and Allegiant Stadium game days only.
• The Orleans and Gold Coast: unconfirmed, as above.

If a blog or forum post promises a free casino shuttle to the Strip, check the hotel’s own transportation page for a current schedule before you book around it.

Free and cheap ways to reach the Strip without a hotel shuttle

• Las Vegas Monorail: seven stations from SAHARA to MGM Grand, including Westgate and the Convention Center. A single ride is $5.75 online ($6.25 at the station) and a one-day pass $13.95 online, and trains run from 7 a.m. until midnight on Mondays, 2 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 3 a.m. Friday through Sunday, with shorter hours on some late-November and December dates. Nevada residents pay $1 a ride. Fares are on the Monorail’s ticket page, and our Las Vegas Monorail guide maps each stop.
• Free trams: the ARIA Express links Park MGM, ARIA and Bellagio, and the Mandalay Bay tram links Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur. Our guide to connected hotels maps every free link.
• The Deuce: RTC’s 24-hour bus along the Strip and downtown cost $4 a ride or $8 for 24 hours at our October 2026 check.
• Vegas Loop: from Westgate, $4.75 to Resorts World, Encore or the Convention Center stations (as of Oct. 13, 2026); see our Vegas Loop guide.

Our full guide to getting around Las Vegas without a car compares the routes and costs.

How to choose an off-Strip hotel for Strip access

• You want a free ride to the Strip: Westgate, if the TI-centered schedule works for you; Embassy Suites if you’d rather start at Fashion Show and skip a casino.
• You want to skip the airport cab fare: South Point, Silverton or M Resort, and book the van as soon as you have flight times.
• You’ll be out after 10:30 p.m. most nights: no shuttle on this list runs that late, so price the Monorail or a rideshare, or stay on the Strip. Our guide to where to stay in Las Vegas compares the areas.
• You use a wheelchair: Westgate’s van isn’t accessible; ask each hotel about an accessible vehicle in writing.
• You’re driving anyway: pick on parking, not shuttles. Palms, Rio, Red Rock and South Point park you free; our best off-Strip hotels list ranks them.

FAQ

Which Las Vegas hotels have a free shuttle to the Strip?

As of November 2026, two hotels publish one. Westgate’s courtesy shuttle runs to Treasure Island nine times a day and to Fremont Street twice in the evening, free with a room key. Embassy Suites Convention Center listed an hourly shuttle to Fashion Show mall, the Monorail and the Convention Center at our October check. Most other off-Strip shuttles now serve the airport only.

Does The Orleans have a free shuttle to the Strip?

We couldn’t confirm one. The Orleans’ website no longer lists a shuttle, though some 2026 lists still describe a free loop from Gold Coast, its sister casino, and The Orleans to Fashion Show mall. Call Gold Coast at 702-367-7111 before you rely on it, and budget for a rideshare in case it isn’t running.

Does South Point have a shuttle to the Strip?

No. South Point runs a free airport shuttle for hotel guests, with 13 trips each way between about 6 a.m. and 9:30 p.m., booked by phone in advance. For the Strip, the hotel points guests to city buses, which it says run about every 30 minutes from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m., at a small fare.

Is there a free shuttle from the airport to Strip hotels?

Not that we found for the big Strip resorts. The free airport vans we confirmed belong to off-Strip hotels (South Point, Silverton, M Resort and Silver Sevens) and carry their own guests. From the airport to the Strip, taxis charge flat zone fares of $22.25, $26.25 or $30.25 depending on how far north you’re going, plus 3% tax and $3 by card.

Is the Monorail a good alternative to a hotel shuttle?

Yes, if your hotel is on the line. Westgate and SAHARA have stations on site, trains come every four to eight minutes and a one-day pass costs $13.95 online, which beats three single rides. It doesn’t reach downtown, the airport or the west side of the Strip, where Bellagio and ARIA sit.

A shuttle is a bonus, not a plan: book the hotel for its location first, then use the van when the schedule happens to fit.
