  • Tip Rating:
  • The local buses were cheap and plentiiful
    If there are 4 or more of you a taxi often worked out the same price. Even the limo was only £25 one way, but was an experience.
    The strip must be walked, to see everything, in stages.

  • Tip Rating:
  • i have planed trained auotmobiled and even bussed in to vegas, due to the proximity of vegas to where i live, a ten hour drive to there is a blast because i am usually with my friends, sometimes newcomers and along the way we can talk up some excitement! otherwise, fly in. its quicker, you can check your baggage at the airport in some cases, and you can start having fun in sin city quicker!
    i prefere to walk everywhere on the strip. the sweltering heat in august doesnt bothe me because were only minutes from an airconditioned casino. the monorails are a plus as well. the strip is a pedestrian friendly place to be. the new walk ways offer a great photo-op place. by the way the venetian spent $4 mil on theirs.

  • Hey you make your own way, I don't need to tell you how to get there...! (haha)
    There are lots of taxi's around the strip if you need to get around. Some hotels will offer a bus service to and from the strip.

    Combined Suggestions: There are 5 ways that I can...
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are 5 ways that I can suggest for getting around Las Vegas.
    1. This is a bit more luxury style but a nice way to cruise the Strip at night. Hire a limo. When I worked as a tourguide, I'd often come through here with my tour groups for 2 nights. On the first night we would go to a buffet dinner at the Luxor and I would surprise the group with a 1 hour limo ride to the Freemont Experience in Downtown with a drop-off at the Mirage at the end. Being that they were mainly from Germany, riding in these huge limousines was dreamlike. They're eyes were just buggin' out as they sipped their champagne and gazed out at the glitter of lights. It was something they talked about for days afterwards. There are a ton of limo services in town - I can recommend Gene Seibak as your Chauffeur (the tallest guy in the pic). I went with him a couple of times. His cellular # probably wouldn't be the same anymore from '99 (702)278-2561, but his pager # is (702)590-1210.
    2. Take a CAT bus. They have bus stops all along the Strip and also go to the Factory Outlet Stores, as well as other places off the Strip, which you most likely won't go to anyway. The cost per ride in '99 was about $1.50.
    3. Several groups of hotels on the Strip now have a monorail system (free). One goes from the Excalibur to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Another is a 1 mile long monorail connecting the MGM Grand to Bally's by way of Aladdin. It's a long walk to reach the monorail from the Strip though, as it runs at the rear of these properties. Another light monorail system links the Monte Carlo with Bellagio.
    4. If you have your own car be prepared for a lot of standstill traffic at certain times of the day. Parking at all the hotels is free unless its valet of course. Parking for non-valet is most definately a further walk to the casino!
    5.Hire a Harley Davidson. I know this is available off the Strip somewhere, but I don't have the info anymore. Maybe a nice way to cruise out to the Hoover Dam?

  • Tip Rating:
  • McCarran Airport located two minutes off the Strip.
    Taxi or automobile. I suggest renting your own car. Most hotels have a Taxi line a mile long which means you will be dead before you see your turn. Not to mention there is so much traffic on the strip that getting next door will cost you at least five buck, add that up and you are broke. And I dare you to walk!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Fly unless you live close enough to drive. Many travel agents or internet sites (www.expedia.com) have great packages that include hotel
    If you are primarily there to see the strip and to gamble, then I would suggest just walking. There is a bus that goes up and down the strip as well and you can always cab it to some places just off the strip. Renting a car is not necessary unless you want to see a lot of stuff outside of the Vegas Strip.

  • Tip Rating:
  • You pretty much have to fly to get to Las Vegas, but some crazies actually drive through the desert to get there from California!!!
    Be afraid. Be very afraid. Cab drivers in LV are nuts, but it's the easiest way to get around if you don't plan to leave the strip. If you do plan on leavign the strip, get a rental car and use it. The taxi drivers are speed demons who are only worried about picking up their NEXT fare, and not about whether or not YOU get to your destination in one piece!

  • Tip Rating:
  • CAT Bus. It's relatively cheap and if your going to be a while...buy a monthly pass and ride all you want. Bell Transit is also better than a Taxi although a Taxi isn't so bad. But with tip...you can be out about $25 from the airport to downtown. Maybe more.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Hotel Mandalay Bay's Lobby. Most peaceful hotel in Vegas Next time we are planing to stay there.Hah! A good tips for transportation: Rent a car! All the hotels have free self parking . Everything looks close to each other in the map but when you walk it's not like that! We rent a car from thrifty.com and it was a great deal . Other alternative is most of the hotels have free shuttle bus service to the airport and to the Strip.

    Combined Suggestions: Leave the car at home and fly...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Leave the car at home and fly in. There is simply no point in taking a car. The strip is very busy and frequently jammed, when its not it is not a pleasant driving experience. And the parking, though free, is usually a good walk from where you want to be.
    We took a taxi from the airport to the Riviera, it cost $20. For the return trip we took one of the buses which visit each of the hotels every quarter of an hour or so, this cost $8.50 + tip for the two of us, good value I think.
    There is a good bus service up and down the strip. Bus no 301 stops everywhere, no 305 only stops at five or six places along the strip. Price is $2 any distance. The 'Trolley' does a round trip for $1.50, good for sightseeing.
