Walking is not only eco-friendly, but easy!

by JFro082

I recommend walking all the way! It's so much easier. Getting a hotel on the strip and taking a taxi only when necessary is so nice. The traffic on the strip gets insane, and unless you know the back ways around the area, it can literally take an hour to get from end of the strip to the other. While walking you can stop in different hotels along the way and experience the craziness that is Las Vegas. Taking taxis is so much easier than driving in a strange, busy city to me, but if you chose to drive, all of the hotels have free garages and parking is not a problem at all. Getting to the parking garages is a different story though!!!!

Luxbus was good fun

by amandajayne81

This was a reply to a forum question on how to travel between LA and Las Vegas by bus.We travelled from Anaheim to Las Vegas on the Luxbus. I think it is more touristy than cheap but we enjoyed the trip and learnt quite a bit along the way from the bus driver and the funny Russian assistant. We would travel by them again although probably only one way. 4-5 hours on the bus vs 45min flight back!website is www.luxbusamerica.com

Driving from Las Vegas to California

by AimeeQ

Regarding the question of cost, gas is definitely a factor, but also be sure to look carefully at rental car fees if you plan to rent. Not only does the cost of insurance rack up the cost of the car dramatically vs. the quoted "daily rate," but there can be an additional daily second driver fee if you rent the car in Las Vegas and both you and your husband plan to drive. I had a bad experience with Dollar and high unexpected fees for a rental car that I drove from Las Vegas to LA this past February. Finally, keep in mind that if you rent the car in Las Vegas and return it in LA, the rental fees, taxes and regulations that pertain (for the entire trip) are those for Nevada. As I understand it, if you rent the car in California, a married couple does not have to pay a second driver fee for example. A couple of hundred dollars here and there really add up... and you don't want to start and...

The Deuce

by LiLz

The Deuce is a double-decker bus that travels up and down the strip. The cost is $2 one-way or $5 for a 24-hour period. It's dependable and easy. I highly recommend it over renting a car if you're going to spend most of your time on or near the strip.

Nevada traveling

by agricola

Nevada is very large, has relatively few roads, and little public transportation outside major cities - and there are only two major cities.You will need a car.There is bus service and passenger train service (rather unreliable) only along the interstate 80 corridor, between Reno and Salt Lake City. There is bus service from Reno to Las Vegas. Flights from Reno to Las Vegas are available, and from Salt Lake City to Reno and to Elko and Las Vegas.If you want to go anywhere else, you will need a car, or a motorcycle. If you are so inclined and have plenty of time available, you might try a bicycle, but most roads aren't designed for bike traffic, and have very little shoulder room.The speed limit on most highways is 75 miles per hour. Gasoline is available in most towns but pay attention to signs about 'next gas xx miles'. If you are leaving the major highways (and there are few of those),...

Lonely desert roads

by goingsolo

Nevada has many sparsely populated areas. As a result, there are long stretches of road without towns or services for many miles. Some of these drives are surprisingly scenic, such as the one along hwy 95 leading to Death Valley. As the lights of Las Vegas exit from the view in the rear view mirror, the road narrows and stretches westward, with mountains appearing in the periphery.

Lonliest Road in America

by mcpangie

Whoever dubbed Highway 50 the “Loneliest Road in America” hasn’t been in Canada. In August 2004, I took this picture because it was the only time that I didn’t see another vehicle either in front, behind, or coming. It didn’t last for long. Sure enough, within a minute, we sent someone on out ahead of us to check for Nevada Highway Patrol. He didn’t get a ticket, they weren’t patrolling this section of highway near the Utah border at the time.

20+ Mile Straight Stretch
Reno Tahoe International Airport

by Ken_Weaver

Unless you live within 100 miles of Minden, probably the best way to get to Carson Valley is to fly into Reno Tahoe International Airport, rent a car or van and drive south for about 45 miles. The airport is very modern and efficient. My baggage arrived 2 minutes after I had arrived in the pick up area!Ten major airlines fly in and out of Reno Tahoe International. 8 of the top car rental agencies provide the necessary road transportation

My Favorite Way to Get to the Carson Valley
To get to Nevada, you can...

by Krystynn

To get to Nevada, you can either DRIVE, hop onto a bus or PLANE. We chose the last option. ;-)) Lazy us! If you intend to visit the many beautiful national parks here, you must DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE!!! Whatever it is - whether you beg, borrow or steal a car... just make sure that you DRIVE! Forget about joining a coach tour. They'd probably pack ten thousand activities into a 2-day hectic schedule... and I surely don't call that kind of a tour a 'vacation'! Photo Below: The Valley of Fire Main Road.

Air or car
