The Deuce is the name of the double-decker bus line serving Las Vegas operated by Citizens Area Transit.
As of October 28, 2007, the routes these double-decker buses serve are:
- The Las Vegas Strip
- Eastern Avenue (Route #110)
- Flamingo Road (Route #202)
- Sahara Avenue (Route #204)
- Las Vegas Convention Center. NOTE: the vehicles that serve this route, become part of the DEUCE Strip route once the convention wraps up for the day.
The buses seat 27 people on the lower deck, 53 on the upper deck, and are 40 feet long. The fare is currently $2 for a one way trip ($1 per trip for the disabled), or $5 for a 24-hour pass .

Since January 2008, the first 40 have arrived and were being placed in service. In May 2008, the final 40 shipment began arriving.
