Vegas - Distance between Flamingo & Circus Circus

A bunch of us will be going to Vegas at the end of October and some of them are staying at Circus Circus and others are planning to stay at the Flamingo. Anybody know about how long it takes to get to the other, say by taxi? I'm assuming it's not walking distance.

driving the strip is HORRIBLE. if the traffic is good, i would guess you could get between the two hotels in 10 minutes. it is about a 20-30 minute walk. i would highly recommend the flamingo over the circus circus

It may be walking distance depending on the weather.

There is a bus (#301??) running 24/7 every 15 minutes or so. It was $1.50 one way or a 24hr pass $5.

Don't remember what that bus system is called, but if you search for "public transportation in las vegas" you can google it.

Bus is great. The trip may take 10 minutes if traffic is heavy, and it is MUCH cheaper than a cab ($10 or so).

I would not want to walk it!

The bus is called "The Deuce". You can find more info here:

The distance between those two hotels is roughly two miles - walking distance for some, and not for others. Here's a map with more info:

According to my Microsoft Trips and Streets it is 1.5 miles between Circus Circus and Flamingo.
