I have never seen so many accidents, motor vehicle-related injuries/fatalities, and stupid drivers as I have seen in Vegas.

Have you spent much time driving in Miami? (It would be truth in advertising to rename the city "Maim-I.") Only three places on Earth have given me a headache from driving -- Cairo, Miami, and San Diego. Las Vegas isn't all that bad by comparison. It's certainly better than driving in Boston. (Mainly because all of Boston is a crooked one-way street. But still, I'd take Las Vegas over a lot of large cities.)

If you want to live in ANY city west of the Mississippi, with the sole exception of San Fransisco, you MUST have a CAR. That is just the way it is. Yes, Las Vegas has city busses but they probably only run from 6 to 8PM and they probably don't run at all on Sunday (well maybe in Vegas they do) as it is with most cities in the west. Here in LA we have the metro bus and trains and, unless you are one of the few lucky that live and work on a major line, it will take you HOURS and probably several transfers to get from point A to point B.

Next time take 60 seconds and look up to see if what you're about it is even close to being accurate. Most of the bus schedules here are from 5 a.m. to midnight, and The Deuce (which runs along the Strip) goes from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. I guess writing "probably," then throwing out some random times, is a lot easier than providing accurate information.

Just post it on CL for $3000 without all the details with some decent pics. You should have no problems selling it for the price you are asking.

I would not know where to look, I do not even know what the bus service in Vegas is called. I just know I see them when I go there. I am familiar with The Deuce and the Ace but those are primarily for tourist are they not? If you have 5AM to Midnight service, you are lucky. Probably the only city outside of L.A. and San Fransisco that does.

Half a summer of good old fashioned Vegas heat and you'll be buying a car for sure.
Nothing like 100+ degrees.....at midnight!

San Diego does. Sacramento does. San Jose does. Heck, even Reno has bus service for 12 hours a day weekdays.

And it's San Francisco, not Fransisco.
