Las Vegas Downtown Loop Bus Gets Council Approval

Be on the lookout for pink shuttle buses downtown starting early this summer. The Las Vegas City Council on Wednesday approved a free shuttle service that move visitors around downtown Las Vegas. And the shuttles will be hard to miss.

The so-called Downtown Loop will run seven days a week for nine hours a day.

The plan is to have the colorful shuttles - whose colors are meant to echo the city's new logo - make stops at the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets, Arts District, the Bonneville Transit Center, Pawn Plaza, Fremont East Entertainment District, the Mob Museum and the Fremont Street Experience.
