The Regional Transportation Commission said Monday that the bus stops on northbound Las Vegas Boulevard will be closed in front of Harrah’s-Las Vegas on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2-10 a.m., and in front of Paris-Las Vegas on Thursday and Friday during those same hours.

Transit service on the Strip will continue through the closures and two travel lanes will remain open.
