I have not taken Greyhound in about 60 years but after seeing your post, I checked it out.
If you leave Vegas tomorrow (August 30), the cheapest bus leaves at 7:20 am. It goes to Flagstaff, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Orlando. It takes 61 hours and the cost is $302.45. I think you can get cheaper fares if you book far in advance - but you still have a 61 hour ride!
I also checked airfare. If you leave later in the week, the cheapest price is $207.45 from Vegas to Orlando on Spirit. It is non-stop so it only takes about 5 hours! There is an $80 fare but you have about a five hour layover in Chicago.
Unless you have a tremendous fear of flying, why would anyone pay $302.45 for a 61 hour bus ride instead of $207.45 for a 5 hour plane ride?
