HoHo Routes & Paths: How to Navigate the Las Vegas HoHo Network

This post is a route-first walkthrough: think of the HoHo as a set of colored paths that stitch major attractions together. Knowing the paths lets you plan efficient hops and avoid backtracking.

At-a-glance: the path types

• Strip Spine (Main Path): The longest, most frequent line running the length of the Strip — ideal for moving north↔south without rideshares.
• Downtown Connector: Short shuttle or circular path linking Fremont Street, the Neon Museum area, and lower-Strip transfer points.
• Night Loop: A trimmed route optimized for illuminated façades and evening shows — fewer stops, better photo windows.
• Special Connectors: Event or attraction shuttles (e.g., to Raiders Allegiant Stadium or festival grounds) that run on-demand or seasonally.

Reading the map (a quick legend)

• Solid lines: full-service hourly routes.
• Dashed lines: limited-run connectors or seasonal links.
• Circles: major transfer hubs where multiple paths meet (Bellagio, Fashion Show, Fremont).

Typical smart paths (routing recipes)

1. Classic Strip Afternoon (short hops): Board at Mandalay Bay → hop to Luxor → The Venetian → Bellagio → Paris. Use this to see fountains, gondolas, and a skyline stretch in one loop.
2. Strip→Downtown Transfer: Take the Strip Spine to a transfer hub (e.g., Fashion Show or The Strat), then use the Downtown Connector to reach Fremont without multiple rideshares.
3. Golden Hour Photo Path: Start midday on the north end, ride south on the upper-deck for sunset light, hop off at Bellagio for fountains at dusk, then continue to Paris for tower views.

Timing & frequency notes

• Main Spine: every 15–30 minutes depending on the operator and time of day.
• Connectors: every 30–60 minutes; some operate only during peak hours.
• Night Loop: typically starts after sunset and can be less frequent — check night-specific timetables.

Transfer tips

• Always note the next two departure times at transfer hubs — buses can clump and leave two close together or have a longer gap.
• Use the Downtown Connector for Neon Museum visits; it saves a rideshare and often drops you near the museum entrance.
• If a connector is listed as seasonal on the map, assume limited runs during conventions or holidays.

Practical path-planning checklist

• Choose a primary hub for each day (e.g., Bellagio hub for Strip highlights).
• Plan one long hop and then multiple short hops — limits wasted time.
• Reserve timed attractions (e.g., Neon Museum) and work bus hops around those bookings.
