You can't so far as I know make a non-stop trip on city buses. What I did was get on the Route 117 (I think) bus opposite the Emerald Suites, ride it to the South Strip Transfer terminal, get off, then get on The Deuce (the double-decker Las Vegas Strip bus) to MGM. At least, if you find the Deuce it is guaranteed to be going in the right direction! To get to MGM casino, it's easier to take the Hotel shuttle (by prior arrangement) to Mandalay Bay. There is a free monorail 24 hours a day at Mandalay Bay that will take you to the Excalibur from which covered walkways can be taken to MGM. From MGM one can take the Deuce up and down the Strip, or take an expensive monorail to many stops including the Hilton (Star Trek Experience!) or the Sahara. --Michael I.
