Las Vegas Airport To Vegas Strip Transportation Options

[@pwade4061]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Already decided that I want to take public transportation from the airport and seeing where to walk is extremely helpful. Thank you

[@isyt1953]

I use the shuttle bus(Option #2). Low price and so what if it takes time, you get a mini tour of Las Vegas.

[@ana-rocha]

Are the shuttles also for all audiences? I'm going to the Excalibur hotel. Can any shuttle take me there? how much Is the cost of a Shuttle?

[@transitdude3352]

Great info. I travel to Vegas about three times a year and public transportation is the best option especially the WAX BUS if you're staying downtown. The cabs are mostly ripoffs that milk you good. The shuttle takes forever. I'd take a Uber if I had to.

[@gravedadpuntocero]

GREAT VIDEO, OUT OF THE BALL PARK, I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS IN NUMEROUS VIDEOS, BUT THIS THE ONE, THE VIDEO SPEAK FOR HIMSELF, EXCELLENT, NEXT TIME I WILL TAKE DE BUS, IS MOR FUN, THANKS.

Been going to Vegas since the 1990’s and have used taxis, shuttle buses, ride share and car rental. Didn’t know that public buses went to the airport. Another option is walking to the casino from Terminal 1 departures area, using the sidewalk you will reach Paradise Road in about 15 minutes. Another half hour of walking along Tropicana you should reach the casinos in the south strip such as MGM, New York New York.

[@johnslyfield5096]

Leave from the ticketing (departures) level if you do this and don't do this on a summer afternoon. The WAX was deleted, but the 109 / DEUECE and CX both do well.

[@Dept246]

@@johnslyfield5096 Took the CX to Las Vegas Blvd & Tropicana and walked into my hotel New York New York this August. If I had taken a taxi I would have paid $19 dollars zone fare.

[@claudiamiller7730]

2024: No more long hauling FROM the airport to Strip hotels because of fixed pricing for taxi rides…but return trips TO the airport are regular taxi prices - so be aware! Surge pricing for ride shares is possible anytime during the day - check both Lyft and Uber to see if you can save any $$. Also - construction to roads prior to F1 race in the Fall can cause major backups on roads. Just sayin’…enjoy your trip to Vegas!!💕

[@katheitman7854]

Watching this in 2021, most helpful to see what our options are and a round about idea of cost. SUPER helpful!

[@joannlawery4258]

Thanks for the info. I always take public transportation and the shuttle to and from the airport when I'm in Vegas

[@DixiePokerAce]

I took the 108 Paradise bus to Flamingo and walked to Bally's. If the weather is nice it isn't a bad walk and can save you some money. It cost me $2 to get to the Strip that way.

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Because of the closure of the Tropicana ramps, the CX now goes to Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo.

[@carpetcowboy58]

I use the shuttle inbound (less hiking than rideshare) and taxi to the airport (tables always get hot when you have to leave). Taxi tip- Ask them to use Paradise Rd. (freeway is a little faster but not worth the extra cost).

[@dan9222scandiguy]

The city bus is a great option & the bus drivers are very helpful. Only $2 (WAX is $6 but designed for tourists) to get to the MGM Grand if you don't mind a transfer.

[@lonelypigeon7562]

when I was there for SEMA, from 2015 til 2019...it was ALL bus transit....I did not rent a car because of the nasty speeders driving all over the place!!

[@jr62390]

Thank you for this video. I was worried about transportation.

[@KennyStomski]

Ride share location is no longer in the location noted on this film. It is to the right as you walk to the end of the elevated sidewalk. Also, taxis now have a flat rate to go from the airport to the strip - no more worries about getting long hauled.

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Yeah I made an updated video for 2023. Though with the closing of the Tropicana ramp, the transit portion is already outdated.

[@margohere7544]

This is a very helpful video when it comes to finding the public transportation area. Thank you!

[@NightWarriorAlive]

5:44 - I could be wrong, but I don't think the Westcliff Airport Express (WAX) is in service anymore. It's replaced by the CX bus I think.

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Oh no! That sucks!

[@retroguy1976]

good to know if I ever go to vegas you don't ever have to rent a car I been wanting to get out there for the Sema show so this is perfect

[@jlynett]

I usually arrive at 10am so I would have no issue trying this sometime. I’m always up for alternative ways to same a few bucks and try something different. Thanks!

[@sport2ful]

I usually take the Shuttle from the airport and Taxi to the airport. I take public transportation up and down the strip or to downtown. I think the 3 day pass is a good deal.

[@lonelypigeon7562]

I use that too...going to the LVCC to the SEMA show....

[@paulstein9258]

Got ripped off for a $35 fare in 2016. To Wynn hotel. Took a photo of the driver ID. Notified cab company, Two weeks later, I received an envelope with $30 in cash from the company. Those cab companies take complaints seriously.

[@SoulUplifts365]

have you ever thought that these taxi drivers also work like all of you wake up in the morning and go work to take care of you families every else if you can't afford 35 dollars why are you in Vegas to begin with??????????????????

[@RoadDawgLife]

@@SoulUplifts365 You're just rationalizing for dishonest and corrupt taxi drivers. If one can't make a living honestly then perhaps they should change their line of work. Politician comes to mind!

[@ChiVue23]

It will be my wife and I’s first time going to Las Vegas. We are staying at MGM Grand. We have never used Lyft, Uber, or any of the transportation services before. What would you recommend both of us take if we are going to MGM? Thanks!

[@GokkanUxxgo]

As it is your first visit to Vegas, I’d just get purchase a round trip ticket for the Shuttle bus then you won’t have to worry about transportation back to the airport. Only problem with the shuttle busses are the pick ups back to the airport. They rarely arrive on the reserved time so take that into consideration when you book the ride back. Usually late by 30 min to an hour. When you are out and about in Vegas, I recommend you giving Uber or Lyft a try just to get the hang of it.

[@keithgalipo7782]

Uber and Lyft quite expensive now. Airport to Luxor cost $35 and $23 on return trip. Take the bus for $2.

[@DrJenYes]

@@keithgalipo7782 HI, I'm thinking about using the bus to my hotel soon. I'll be staying at the Strat. Google Maps suggested the 108 or 109. I know Google is a little off sometimes...any advice?

I don’t understand French but I assume you want to know how to get to the public transit stop. Well, as the video showed, you head to Baggage Claim then you will see an escalator that says “Level Zero” go down there, through the doors, and head right.

[@tori2428]

What’s the best way to get from airport to Park MGM? Had been planning 108 to Tropicana but not sure if ramp closures have changed that.

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Hmm good question. You could either take Maryland Parkway North to Tropicana then transfer onto the Tropicana West and get to the stop infront of NYNY or take the Maryland Parkway South to the SSTT then jump onto the Deuce and get off infront of MGM Grand. I have an updated video on the second option.

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Oh wait....I was just in Vegas again a few days ago and remembered that the NYNY bus stop was gone. I would opt for the second suggestion.

[@lonelypigeon7562]

I heard (since its 2022 now) that the airport folks DISCONTINUED the shuttles so we are left with either Uber or Taxi svc....

when you arrive after landing and it's your first time can you just walk out the airport and go to your Uber outside ? Please explain do I have to go show my passport to someone else after then leave ?

[@GokkanUxxgo]

I don't know anything about customs as I cross the border by car and fly out of Bellingham WA but in the past, I'd go through customs in Canada and upon landing, I'd go straight through outside. As for your Uber/Lyft question, you have to follow the signs up to the second level of the parkade to a designated Ride share pick up area.

Im going to the EXCALIBAR hotel in late February with 4 of us altogether, what would u recommend for us as a transportation option

[@GokkanUxxgo]

Depends. 4 people with luggage...I say Uber or Lyft. Backpacks? I say get a bus pass. Most likely you guys will be checking out Fremont experience. That's gonna be $6-8 each if you decide to take the Deuce(Double Decker) or the SDX. Or will walk the strip and get to the end only to look back and see that you will have to walk 4 miles back to the hotel and decide to take the bus back. www.rtcsnv.com to check out the schedule. Look for the WAX northbound. If you need to download Lyft or Uber, go a Google search for promo codes that will save you a few bucks.

[@brendalove1230]

What did you end up doing

[@1shaedevil]

what would you recommend for going to the Vdara? Uber or Bus? How long does the bus usually take?

[@GokkanUxxgo]

It all depends .I usually travel light. I also use the 3 day bus pass to get to the Walmart for supplies and to venture off strip to where the locals eat. If you plan on sticking on the strip and you've got some luggage. I'd recommend you either taking a Shuttle or Uber. Uber will get you there faster but the Shuttle is more economical . Check in at most hotels are at 3 so that also may factor in your decision. Either way, most allow you to drop your luggage at Bell Hop so you can go exploring while you wait.

[@transitdude3352]

If you don't have a lot of luggage the public bus is easier and cheaper. If you're at VADARA or MGM, the WAX will drop you on the strip corner by NEW YORK NEW YORK and you can walk the rest of the way if it's not to hot.

[@Christine_1111]

Do they let you bring a suitcase on?

[@GokkanUxxgo]

From my experience, yes. Some will even have a luggage rack to store your suitcase.

Great video! so the Deuce doesn't have the option of paying $2/ride? and also, if I buy the $20 for 3 days, does that include WAX and deuce or just WAX? Thank you for your service! lol XD

The deuce is $6! Rip off! Buy the 3 day pass and it's good for their whole transit grid.

Do you know if the WAX, Deuce or SDX allows check in size luggage on the bus? Most local buses don't.
