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.

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

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. Leave a Comment

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
