Francisco (from $15, 4½ hours) via Sacramento.
Getting Around
Casino hotels offer frequent free airport shuttles for their guests (and don't ask to see re-
servations).
The local RTC Ride buses ( 775-348-7433; www.rtcwashoe.com ; per ride $2) blanket the
city, and most routes converge at the RTC 4th St station downtown (between Lake St and
Evans Ave). Useful routes include the RTC Rapid line for S Virginia St, 11 for Sparks and
19 for the airport.
The Sierra Spirit bus (50¢) loops around all major downtown landmarks - including
the casinos and the university - every 15 minutes from 7am to 7pm.
