About City
Las Vegas is the largest city in the state of Nevada. Nicknamed Sin City and the Entertainment Capital of the World, it is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city has giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke romance, mystery, and far-away destinations.
Airport Information
McCarran International Airport (IATA: LAS) is served by many domestic and international air carriers. Southwest Airlines has a large hub at the airport, and USAirways has a smaller hub. Like most US airports, you can rent luggage carts for $3. MGM Grand properties (MGM Grand, and New York New York) and Harrah's Entertainment properties (Rio, Harrah's, Bally's, Paris, Caesars Palace, and Flamingo) offer check-in desks and luggage transfers at LAS.
Getting from LAS to your hotel can be done by bus, airport shuttle companies, rental cars, taxi ($10-20), or limousine ($35). The taxi line is well organized, the city taxi dispatcher will direct you to a numbered space along the curb. You need not tip the taxi dispatcher. As in any city, you can be taken advantage of if the cab driver thinks you are naive or new to the city. Do not allow the cab driver to take you through the I-15 tunnel (an extra $10) or tell you the story about the "big accident" enroute to your hotel, if either of these happens take down the driver's hack license number and call the Nevada Taxi Cab Authority.
The CAT 108 bus runs from the airport along Paradise Road to right outside the Convention Center and the LV Hilton, taking about 20-25 minutes. As Paradise Road meets the Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard), you can switch to the Deuce shuttle bus operating on the Strip, traveling north to downtown or south to the hotel casinos. The CAT 108 bus runs at 20-minute intervals from Ground Level Zero (take the escalator down from the baggage claim and walk towards the parking garage; the covered bus stop is on the right). One-way trips cost $1.75 and are a great deal compared to the more expensive options above.
To get to the airport, take the Deuce shuttle bus to the corner of the Strip and Paradise Road, then take bus #108 traveling east on Paradise Road.
When leaving, the 'curbside checkin' counters will save a wait, but cost you $4 + tip, and you won't be allocated a seat number until boarding time (i.e. likely to be a single seat at the back of the aircraft).
