(Detailed reference 拉斯维加斯 how from the airport to the hotel?）

There are a lot of people traveling to Las Vegas for the first time will ask: is not the car easier?

The answer is:No need (we have a detailed explanation at the end of the article)

• Light rail tram and subway
• Public bus
• RENT CAR
  • Recommended free parking locations
• Calling a car (taxi, Uber/Lyft)

When traveling to Las Vegas, you should spend most of your time on the Las Vegas Strip. Spending time walking and shopping on the street is actually one of the highlights of the trip. If you want to experience the local style of old Las Vegas and old streets, you can go to Las Vegas Downtown. In addition, there are shopping outlets on the north and south sides of the avenue, both of which can be reached within a short drive.

If tired,On the west side of the avenue there are many trams that can be used free of charge,Starting from the far south, there are round-trip trams to three hotels: Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and Excalibur, followed by Park MGM, Aria (Crystal), and Bellagio. There is also a short tram to Treasure Island in the far north. On the east side of the avenue, there is the Las Vegas Monorail. Although it requires payment, there are many stations and you can go very far north. You can buy a one-way ticket for $6 per person, a single-day ticket for $15 per person, and a multi-day ticket. ($26 USD for two days/$32 USD for three days) (For more ticket information, please refer toOfficial website); the southernmost station is MGM Grand, and the northernmost station is Sahara Hotel.

Even if you spend most of your time wandering the streets, sometimes you need to leave and go somewhere else. If you want to go shopping at Outlets, you need to take a ride (for more details about shopping, please refer to 拉斯维加斯 complete shopping guide), in addition to the Strip, the most famous thing about Las Vegas is the Downtown (i.e. Old Town). The Las Vegas Strip has two main bus lines, SDX and Deuce. For buses, you can take the SDX Arrive at Premium Outlets North. For more information, please refer to Las Vegas public bus RTC official website.

The biggest difference between the two is that Deuce is 24 hours of operation, stopped more stations,And mostly in the street restaurants, farthest to Downtown;SDX only from 9 am to midnight, stop less station, and there is the Outlet to the north.兩個路線皆為同一個公司，所以票可以交叉使用。費用為：2小時／6美元、24小時／8美元、3天／20美元。如果同一天會使用來回的話，建議直接買24小時的票。

If you mainly go shopping in Las Vegas and have activities in hotels and casinos, you don’t have to rent a car. You can take the public transportation we mentioned above or call a taxi. In this case, it is not necessary. It is recommended to rent a car, but of course you can rent a car according to your own preferences and needs to experience the city of Las Vegas from more aspects. However, there are several other situations where renting a car makes perfect sense.For car rental recommendations, refer to the Expedia website.

1. Want to drive many days to nearby natural landscapes and national parks

Close ones include Red Rock Canyon (20 minutes’ drive) and Hoover Dam (40-50 minutes’ drive). For example, the most popular places in recent years are Antelope Canyon (4.5 hours’ drive), Horseshoe Bend (4.5 hours’ drive), Zion National Park (2.5 hours’ drive), and Bryce Canyon (4 hours’ drive). , Grand Canyon West or Grand Canyon National Park (2.5 hours drive, 4.5 hours drive)

If you only want to go to these distant attractions for one day, it is recommended to participate "One day bus tour"If you have a higher budget, you may consider participating."Helicopter or small plane one-day tour"I won't be tired of driving in a single day. It's very hard to drive 4.5 hours and back for 9 hours a day.

2. If you are familiar with the road conditions in the United States, there is no navigation and you are not worried about getting lost.

3. Expect to go to Outlets to buy a lot of things

You don’t have to carry a lot of stuff on public transportation. (But taking Uber or Lyft can also be solved)

4. Restaurants that don’t want to spend a high average on the boulevard and are not necessarily delicious.

Chinatown and other localities look for local cuisine. (But Uber and Lyft are still very convenient. Las Vegas is relatively small, and most of the journeys are between ten and twenty minutes. The one-way fare is estimated to be more than a dozen dollars.) Chinatown Restaurant Recommended: Non-Avenue Food Recommended - China Town Old Town There are many foods in Chinatown and the price is not as expensive as on the avenue.

Many hotels on the avenue now charge for parking, while some remaining hotels and shopping malls offer free parking.The premium hotel charges are roughly:自助停車第1小時免費，1到4小時7-10元、4至24小時10-20元；代客泊車前4小時13-15元、4至24小時18-25元。

The following recommended a few, no need for any consumptionYou can free parking for everyone:

2. Avenue Central

• *Shops at Crystal Walking distance to: Cosmopolitan, MGM, New York New York, Bellagio. It is also a shopping mall, but the location is better than Fashion Show Mall. There are many well-rated hotels nearby.

If you really need to rent a car, we recommend referring to Expedia online car rental platform.

In the absence of renting a car, the fastest and most convenient way of transportation is still to hail a car directly. Can use mobile phone Uber Or Lyft To call a taxi, it is best to download and install their APP in advance. The cost is usually cheaper than taxis. In addition, taxi drivers in Las Vegas are more reckless and unruly. This is known to the locals here.
If you want to take a limo, you can also call to request a limo pick-up. (Recommended by the car company: Presidential Limo Las Vegas)

Go to Premium Outlets North

The most popular outlet mall in Las Vegas is Las Vegas Premium Outlets North, generally the easiest way is to take Uber/Lyft directly in front of the hotel. Depending on the distance, it's usually about $15 to $30 from the hotel to Premium Outlets North. In addition, you can also take the Las Vegas bus RTC Duce on the Strip linePassengers can pick up and drop off passengers at multiple hotel stations, and can also go to the old city.
