 | Las Vegas Traffic / Taxis / Pedestrians Reviews | 1 - 10 of 26 |  |
This is probably a no brainer. Yet, I cannot say enough, please be careful walking anywhere in Vegas. Everyone is in a hurry, especially the locals. Maybe it’s because they are impatient with the tourist! Who knows?! At least Vegas had the foresight to build many wonderful walking bridges from Hotel to Hotel. Yet, they need more.
There are still casinos and hotels pedestrians still have to walk to get to. Taxi cab are always in a hurry, so mind the cross walks. They are there for your protection. Way too many people running across the street on green lights or not heeding the crossing signs when it is safe for them to cross. Then seeing someone get irrate when they have gotten honked at loudly and maybe given a finger or two. Well..too bad! Cross when it says so and your given how many seconds you have left when it is safe and your righaway! You hear of many pedestrians getting hit on this road. Leave a Comment

I was wrong. Not only is the Vegas Strip packed, its loaded with aggressive drivers; taxis and limos weaving in and out of lanes, drivers staring at the sidelines and not watching the road, and, oh yes, pedestrians who are not familiar with the concept of jaywalking or are tired of watiing for the long, long light to change. Be very careful driving around here if you insist on having a car. Leave a Comment

Is it always heavy traffic in Vegas? Well, maybe it was because of the holiday season. It was bumper to bumper in Las Vegas Boulevard. It took us more than an hour from the New York New York to the Fremont Street which I guess should be less than half an hour.
My hotel is close to the strip and because of the heavy traffic on previous day, I just decided to spend our New Years' Eve 2008-2009 celebration at the Strip and not at the Fremont Experience.
Can someone tell me if it is always heavy traffic in and around the strip even on ordinary days?

Look left, look right, look left, and look right again. Pedestrians need to pay extra special attention as they walk across the Strip. Traffic is scary. Perhaps it's the lights, the volcano, the fountains, the Eiffel Tower or the lion; whatever it is, drivers seem to have a difficult time following simple traffic rules. Even if your light says 'Walk,' still look left, look right ... Leave a Comment

 Tropicana Ave. Traffic Jam by EastyLeave a Comment

Seriously consider if it is worth hiring a car. If you are not venturing out of Las Vegas then don't bother. The taxis are frequent and take you to the front door of the hotels. The car parks in contrast, although large, take you right around the back and a long walk from the action. This is even more of a pain if you move to teh next hotal down the strip. Leave a Comment

Don't try to cross the 'Strip' away from or against the lights! It may be tempting to take a shortcut, but it's a very dangerous road. Leave a Comment

Do not jaywalk! Drivers around here will sometimes try to hit you (My father among them...Beware the red Camaro.). Leave a Comment

The traffic is god-awful, especially on weekends when everyone drives in from LA. Never cross against a light; drivers suffering from road-rage and gambling losses will be happy to mow you down. Leave a Comment
