Las Vegas Express Bus

My family have a very bad vacation because of the cheating business. We have 2 kids at 3 and 5 years old. We took the bus trip to Vegas. On departure day, the bus didn’t have seat numbers, so many families cannot seat together. The tour guide said apologize for the problem and said she will put seat numbers asap. On the last day, we get the same problem but this time it happened to my family. There was not enough seats for us, so we have to wait for their solving the problem. My bus driver don’t speak English with me, we have to wait for the terrible women. Finally, there were nice passengers that gave their seats to my family. I want to say thanks to the kind people and hope people stay away gotobus. I took some pictures of the bus, the web address
was painted on side of the bus.

Aggressive driving behavior. Driving at an unsafe speed (at least 80 mph) and aggressively changing lanes to get ahead.

So I used this bus to Vegas and back to give it a try. it is a bus mainly used by Asians… The bus coordinators do not speak a lot of English. The bus was clean and nice. The problem that I had was that there is assigned seating, which I didn’t know until my grandma and I were taking the bus back to LA. So when my grandma and I got on the bus to go to Vegas, it was almost full… I told the coordinator I would like to sit next to my grandma of course. He starts talking to these two ladies to move and sit somewhere else in there language. So I get my grandma from the car, and get in the bus and our seats were taken by those two ladies. So we had to sit by ourselves for the ride to Vegas. There is a 15 minute stop in Barstow, it’s so busy. You have only one thing to do. Do you want to get in line to go to the bathroom? Do you want to get in line to eat? Do you want to buy souvenirs? 15 minutes isn’t enough, but then again, were on a schedule, we are there to get to Vegas! Yes, there is a $ 2 mandatory tip for each passenger.
If you don’t get a headache of Asians talking on the ride. (There wasn’t a consistency. They would stop talking, then they started talking again, sometimes they were a bit loud, sometimes they were quiet.) then this bus is great.
I honestly had a better than OK ride there, only 4 hours. But the ride back was over 7 hours due to the construction on the freeway. And these seats are a bit small. If I want to go to Vegas again, I will drive, but if I don’t feel like driving, I’ll just pay the $ 45 round trip and take this bus again if I am desperate.

I have to say Las Vegas express Bus is way to go if you don’t like driving yourself. No crackheads, no weirdos (unlike greyhound) and the bus DID NOT STINK (totally appreciated that part of my trip) … it was just clean, comfy and the driver was very nice and professional. The price was very reasonable too ($ 25) and like I said, people (mostly Chinese) were very QUIET which is important thing when you are traveling for 6 hours! Very comfortable and chill.

We used it for group charter today, but bus driver can’t speak English well and I can’t communicate with him. The driver is not so professional.

Have not tried taking this service but witnessed aggressive driving behavior on the freeways. Speeding up to 70 mph during rush hour when there is a short open stretch of road and coming to a dead stop and changing in and out of lanes to get ahead more.
High beaming cars in front that is keeping safe distance with car ahead.
During rush hour? Really? Where’s the fire?
If you want to risk your lives to save a few bucks. God bless!
I would not recommend using this bus service.
Eventually that driving behavior will lead to an accident.
Safe travels!

I got a round ticket on living social. It was fantastic. I absolutely loved their attention and kindness. Anthony drove me there and he was the nicest! I would totally do it again, it made muy trip comfortable and cheap!!! THANK YOU !!!

We got a Tahoe to Vegas. Very professional and a nice calm ride. I used a living social deal which was pretty cheap. I recommend their service.

PRICE: $ 45 round trip plus a mandatory $ 2 tip (go figure)
RESERVATIONS: You have to call to reserve a seat going to VEGAS! And you have to call to reserve a seat going from VEGAS TO LA!
SERVICE: STRAIGHT FORWARD
OTHER GUESTS: Mostly Chinese, older adults were sitting near the front of the bus and the teens were mostly in the back (mostly Asians)…
ON OUR WAY TO VEGAS: 2 women kept talking for 1 and half hours in Chinese! I had a headache but, fell asleep and realized that we are at BARSTOW already! YEH!
BARSTOW STOP: About a 15 minute break for restrooms, that was nice!
ON OUR WAY FROM VEGAS TO LA: We were 10 minutes late so our seats got taken even though we showed up… dang it… we had to stay in VEGAS an extra day, thank goodness it was a Saturday otherwise, REALLY INCONVENIENT!!! Also, it was more quiet on the way back to LA…
THE WHOLE RIDE: Took about 4 ½ hours (pretty fast actually)
Would probably be back, back, BACK because it’s not that bad if you’re on a budget ;)

I have taken this bus service several times and I can always count on them to be punctual. They speak Chinese as well as English. I always call in advance to reserve a seat — however it seems like no one ever follows the seating assignment. I get assigned a seat number, but when I board the bus it’s usually already occupied. So instead of making a fuss, I just head towards the back when it’s not completely full and find a vacant row so I can sprawl out.
$ 25 bus ride each way and a $ 2 tip (mandatory) for the bus driver. Pretty reasonable if you ask me.
–There is one stop that the make in Barstow– each way and they stop for about 20mins. Gives you enough time to use the restroom or grab a bite to eat.
–I always ride the bus from Rowland Heights to Vegas. Once in vegas they make three drops: Tropicana, Harrah’s, and Chinatown (at the 99 ranch market). We leave Rowland heights at 8:10am and will end at Chinatown around 12:45. Not too bad and dependable.

I rode this Chinatown bus from Las Vegas to Los Angeles today by accident. I was waiting at the Harrah’s bus stop for the USAsia bus and LV Express arrived about 10 minutes prior to the USAsia scheduled pick-​up. I wasn’t sure if it was the bus I wanted so I waited to ask the ticket collector. While waiting for him to deal with other customers I noticed the bag handler/​driver was yelling at a couple. They were trying to find out where the bus was destined and if it was the USAsia bus but he just kept impatiently asking them where they were heading. He seemed to be in quite a rush to get all the bags on bus. The driver was obviously getting angry and the couple was frustrated. I think they were afraid of missing any bus so they boarded regardless.
Let me take a moment to share a line from their website (capitalization mine):
We are sure the KINDNESS and punctuality of our drivers and tour guides would contribute a satisfying journey to our passengers.
The next stop was Chinatown, and a 25 minute wait. So, the driver could actually have calmly taken the time to answer the couples’ questions.
The drive went smoothly, if not quickly enough for my preference. An hour into the ride I tried to get up to use the restroom. I was told it was out of order. Excuse me? A five hour bus ride and the bus doesn’t have a working restroom?
Another line from their website (capitalization mine):
On our buses, there are 60 spacious seats and a DAILY-​MAINTAINED RESTROOM.
I was told it was only an hour to the next stop, Barstow. Couldn’t do anything about it so I waited. The stop was about 10 minutes long. After re-​boarding I was thinking, okay, this is getting slightly better. They are making decent time and we’ll arrive back in Monterey Park at 6:30P. Then I was hit with the final insult. The ticket collector went up and down aisle doing what I thought was checking tickets. When he got to me he said he «needed a $ 2 tip for the driver.» WTF!?! Need? No, you want a tip, not need. And you sure as hell don’t ask for it. If I’m going to give a tip, it’s going to be at the end of the ride, and directly to the driver after he hands me my bags.
I really wanted to give this business at least two stars, if not three, because of their price ($ 25 each way) and they were indeed punctual. The seats were small but comfortable and the passengers were quiet. However, I can’t overlook the attitude of the employees and the condition of the bus. Next time I’m taking USAsia, which offers the same price and picks up and drops off at almost all the same locations.
It should be noted that Las Vegas Express Bus is run by W & H Trade, Inc, which is based at the Alhambra address. The buses do not actually stop there.

This is a great way to get to Vegas! If you just want to go straight there — with one stop in Barstow. Buses are clean and people are friendly. Not a party bus which suited us fine. They speak English which I thought might be a problem. We were able to pick the dates of our travel. Once in Vegas, we took public transportation. I am sure the prices will vary, but we paid $ 20 for during the week. I would recommend!

Basically, their daily bus service from LA to Vegas definitely worths taking. While things like greyhound charges you like 60 — 80 bucks, I paid only $ 40 for a round trip back n forth after staying in Vegas for almost a week. Their bus is just as decent as the luxary Greyhound.
But don’t forget to call in for seat reservations, for it’s $ 5 cheaper than making it online.
On the down side, their passengers are mostly crowded in the front. I requested for seats in the back, then had our own fun there. It’s better than driving by ourselves anyways!
