text: Before you read the rest of my impressions, let me just say that I prepaid for the round trip for two, and Ritz left us stranded for our 4:30am return. If that doesn't tell you to run, read the rest.\n\nFirst ones on the shuttle meant a 20 minute wait for the bus to fill in a bus without the air running. Then the driver over-filled by 1 and then had to rework the math and seating even though we were completely crammed in. Also, the a/c was off while we waited (in the desert...) and it never really recovered once we were in motion, so it was a hot, cramped ride.\n\nWe were staying at the Excalibur, which was supposed to be \"one of the first\" stops. In fact, it was the 3rd, after Bally's and another stop in the center of the strip. Start to finish, it was just over an hour from the time we paid for the shuttle to the time we were dropped off at the back of our hotel (as opposed to the front where cabs leave you and you can get porter service).\n\nAs I said earlier, they left us stranded for the return trip. We ended up taking a cab which cost exactly the same as for two as the pre-paid trip, and a cab to the hotel would have actually saved us .50 cents (yes, tip included) compared with the shuttle and would have probably gotten us there 45 minutes sooner.
