  • Taxi drivers are not allowed to pick up passengers off the street. Call a cab company to arrange for pick-up or go to a taxi stand at at hotel.
    There is a five-person maximum and the fare is the same no matter how many passengers are travelling. Basic taxi fare is an initial charge of $3.20 plus $2.00 per mile, plus .37 cents a minute while stopped at red lights or crawling in traffic at speeds of 12 mph or less. Add a $1.20 fee for every trip originating from McCarran Airport. From the airport expect to pay $9.00 to $11.00 to get to the south end of the Strip, $11.00 to $15.00 to get to the center Strip, $14.50 to reach the Stratosphere Hotel area and $16.00 to $18.00 to get Downtown, plus tip.
    The major cab companies are:
    ABC 702-736-8444
    Ace 702-736-8383
    Checker/Star 873-2000
    Desert 386-9102
    Henderson 384-2322

  • If you have to get a taxi from the airport which we did and you particularly had a good taxi driver, take his telephone number. We did, the guy was called Roberto, he was so nice, and as my husband had to go back to the airport to work a couple of hours after landing, Roberto came and picked him up. Whenever we wanted a taxi we just called Roberto and he was there.

    Taxis are an effective way to get around. If you are staying only a couple of days, it may be more cost effective to cab it than to get a rent-a-car. Cab fares range from $10 (South Strip, e.g. MGM/NYNY to $15-20 (North Strip eg Caesars/Venetian). When you get off the airplane, there is a cab line and the friendly dispatcher will tell you to stand on a number painted on the sidewalk. (Do not tip him.) The Airport Shuttle is no bargain, you will wait forever. If the cab driver tries to take you through a tunnel (extra $5 on the meter for no good reason), or tells you about the bad accident on the normal route to your hotel (there never really seems to be one), take down his license number and call in a complaint to the Nevada State Taxi Commission. Tip 10%. Cab dispatchers at hotels, tip 50c-$1 (depending of course on how you are doing at the tables!) The walking distance to your hotel room may vary considerably depending on whether you are taking a cab to the main entrance or using the self parking garage, you will learn from experience.

  • There's no shortage of taxis on the Vegas Strip, but you don't hail one off the street (or so I was told) Each hotel has a taxi queue where people line up and a hotel bellman signals one of the waiting taxis to pick up the next passenger in line. The bellman then gets a dollar or two for signaling a cab which is sitting right there. Oh, and he also tells the taxi driver where you are going.

    Taxi drivers are a wealth of information on the Strip. Most are very friendly, able to navigate the extreme street traffic along Las Vegas Blvd, and will give you, free of charge, a copy of 24/7, a dining and entertainment guide which tells you where to find all the buffets (see restaurant tips.)

    One word of caution: riding in taxis from one hotel to the next gets expensive. A trip from the Bellagio to the NY NY, only a couple of blocks down, costs almost $10 (which does not include the bellman's tip for hailing the cab.) Try to walk if possible or use the shuttle system, which is $1.75 per ride.

    Taxis were cheap and plentiful in Las Vegas, and we never had to wait long to get anywhere (unlike LA where it could be a nightmare). All taxis are metred, and if you still don't trust them you can agree a price with them in advance. We did feel that one guy upped the speed at which his metre was running one night, but it only made a difference of about two dollars and I didn't argue it.

    To get from the top of the strip to the bottom, the most you will pay is about 12 dollars. It's just as cheap to the airport.

    In fact when we were leaving Las Vegas we decided to treat ourselves and as there was a Lincoln town car outside the hotel for hire, we took that for 32 dollars. Although it was a short trip the luxury was so well worth it.

    Limousine / Taxi: Rip off Taxi Drivers

  • Beware the Taxi drivers who try to rip off visitors to Vegas, I know this from first hand experience.

    The problem is mainly at the airport, the driver take new arivals the " long way around".
    We encountered this problem when we arrived, they took us via the tunnel to our hotel and it cost $18.

    A few days later I had to return to the airport and picked up a cab/taxi, the driver asked me if I was new in town, when I said No, he took me via a much quicker route (Via Tropicana )and the fare was $8...so beware or use the shuttle buses which cost $3

  • On the way back to the airport they told me it would be a little more difficult to get a shuttle and I wanted to get out of the heat so I got a taxi at the MGM Grand, the closest stop on the monorail to the airport. With tip the ride cost me $10 which sounded about right based on what I'd read. It's a very quick ride, no more than 10 minutes.
