Sure, but it’s rather convenient that the route from the airport also takes you up and down the main drag. Let’s say I’m staying at circus circus and I’m seeing a show at the MGM grand. It’s an hour walk, 24 minute bus ride plus the wait for the bus (15 minutes divided by 2 on average), or a 12 minute drive. The Vegas monorail exists but it isn’t anywhere near the actual street where the pedestrians are, and the station locations are so far from where you want to be that you might as well walk. Therefore, if I’m a typical tourist I’m taking an Uber or a taxi for this trip. That’s why the strip has so many lanes of traffic. I’m incentivized to get in a car and I haven’t even left the “theme park” boundaries.
