Getting Around Las Vegas
If you’ve never been to Vegas, you may assume it’s a breeze to walk from one end of the Strip to the other. There are so many options to get you from point A to point B, and all the places in between. Here is a list of transportation options to help you get around the city and get you to the fun faster.
Harry Reid International Airport
Harry Reid International Airport is conveniently located just 2 miles from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center, with most hotels located within a 15-minute drive from the airport. Harry Reid International Airport currently has more than 1,050 inbound and outbound flights per day and direct service to nearly 150 U.S. and international cities (as of June 2022).
Las Vegas Monorail
Whether on vacation or visiting Las Vegas for a meeting or convention, the Monorail makes your trip to Las Vegas even more enjoyable, saving you time without the hassles of traffic. Riders can conveniently navigate the Las Vegas Strip in less than 15 minutes at speeds of up to 50 mph.
Taxis
Taxi service is regulated by the Nevada Taxicab Authority, a Nevada State agency responsible for issuing medallions and setting fares. All taxi companies accept credit cards. The maximum number of passengers allowed in any cab is six, including infants and children. Travel tip: Remember to jot down the cab company, vehicle number and driver's name when traveling to and from the airport, just in case you leave something behind.
Rental Cars
The Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center houses 10 car rental companies in one location. The center is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with continuous shuttle service to and from airport terminals. There are several standalone rental sites across Las Vegas and a few on site at some hotels, but the airport is the most convenient.
Ride Share
Ridesharing, commonly associated with Uber and Lyft, is a convenient option for visitors to get around the destination, no matter where you are in Las Vegas. It’s as simple as downloading the rideshare app of your choice, inputting some information, and waiting for your ride to show up.
Limos
Limousines are a fun and fancy way to get you from the airport to your resort and around the city in style. While limos are available at Harry Reid International Airport, your best bet would be to make a reservation. If you’re celebrating or just want to feel like a Vegas VIP, book a party limo or ask about luxury Strip tours.
Bus
The Deuce is Las Vegas’ public transportation operated by the Regional Transportation Commission. While the bus runs throughout the destination, there are two routes you can specifically take for the Strip and downtown. Deuce on the Strip will stop at just about every resort on the Strip, while DVX runs partially through downtown and Fremont Street. The Downtown Loop is a free shuttle that brings visitors to the exciting scene in Downtown Las Vegas, including the Arts District and Fremont Street Experience.
Vegas Loop at Las Vegas Convention Center
The newly opened Vegas Loop at Las Vegas Convention Center provides fast and accessible transportation for convention and trade show attendees across the LVCC campus, connecting the new West Hall with the existing campus (North/Central/South halls). Vegas Loop at Las Vegas Convention Center has officially opened the Resorts World passenger station, providing direct access to and from the Las Vegas Convention Center. Four passenger stations (see map below) offer convenient access between key LVCC destinations and nearby transportation connections, such as the Las Vegas Monorail.
