You can take public transportation to downtown Vegas from the Strip. It's a bit sketchy, though. Basically, you take the Monorail (one of Vegas's best-kept secrets) to the end, get off, and catch a bus. The Monorail is safe, but that bus gave me the creeps. I felt okay because I was with a big group of people, but if I had been by myself, I probably would have skipped it (mostly because while the light show is cool, Fremont Street is like Reno in Vegas, and I've spent way too much time in Reno). My group agreed afterwards that if we had to do it over again, we would have called the limo driver we met upon arrival at the airport and had him take us there and back, or taken a cab.
I enjoy the spectacle of Vegas. I recommend that you invest in a comfortable pair of shoes and break them in well before hitting Vegas. You'll be doing a lot of walking.
