Most likely if you are flying into Las Vegas you are coming
into McCarran International Airport. This is the nation’s
fifth largest airport and could be the only one with slot
machines in it. Located just south of the Vegas strip this
airport has all the shuttles, taxis and rental cars at your
finger tips. Figure on paying $15-$20 for a taxis to the
hotels on the strip and about $45 dollars to take one all
the way downtown Vegas.
Getting around the main Vegas strip is a piece of cake. Most casinos and hotels are located along the 4 mile strip or Las Vegas Boulevard South. Many non gaming hotels and the Las Vegas Convention Center lie on Paradise Road which is located just east of the strip. If you ever get lost just look for the Stratosphere Hotel which is at the north end of the Vegas Boulevard and can be seen from all around.
You may not want to walk the 4 miles of the Vegas strip specially in the mid summer heat which has been known to get up to 120 degrees at times. Fortunately there is plenty of public and paid transportation all over the town. You could take the monorail if you want and most of the off strip hotels and casinos run their own shuttle and concierge service.
When you go to Las Vegas on vacation there is a lot to see and do. Just remember don’t gamble more than you have, don’t wonder off in the desert and always remember “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
