Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
told, many won't stop near the hotel you've booked and you could end up
lugging your bags a long distance along the crowded Strip before you get to
your hotel. Vans go right up to hotel entrances, and are thus a good option
for those with a lot of luggage.
u Car rentals. These are a terrific option, not only for getting around Vegas but
for tootling out to Red Rock Canyon, or taking an eating excursion off the
Strip. For my complete advice on saving on rental cars, please turn to p. 8.
u Taxis. Taxis are the costliest option, but not by all that much. A taxi will cost
about $12 to most Strip hotels and $29 to Downtown. Add $1.25 airport
tax to those costs.
