Question

I have not been able to get any information from www.amtrak.com
At the website I get an error message which says that we cannot find train service matching your request.

I want to travel by Amtrax from Seattle ( ferry pier 69) to Las Vegas - Airport Bus, NV (LAS)Vegas.for 5 adults and 1 child.

I need help to find out whatt the travelling time for the train journey is ?

Is the journey a combination of train journey and bus.?
If so I need to know how to go about making the booking at the respective bus and train website ( which website)

How much does it cost ?
How do i go about booking for the trip on the website.

Answer 1

Wow! Very helpful people here. You could also call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245) and book with a live person.

Answer 2

One thing about Amtrak that the asker alluded to is the fact that Amtrak lists all destinations for which it has service to, even those with no regular service.

Pier 69 might have had service at one point by amtrak connecting it to the king st station, but it probably doesnt anymore. Amtrak probably left it there as an option, and thus selecting it as an originating or destination point results in NO matches.

Answer 3

Okay, You could do your trip for as little as $758 ..... traveling coach ..... Depends on when you want to travel ....

I found the mistake you were making on booking the tickets.....

Use SEA for seattle and LVS (not las) for Airport bus, las vegas.
Try again now using the correct code. If you need more help, email me.

Rent a Van from Budget or similar and drive.
Your train and bus thing is a rediculous hassle.
