Just got back from Vegas last Monday - flew into McCarran at about 9:30 at night and between baggage claim and picking up my car at the car rental center on Gillespie street, didn't check into Mandalay Bay until almost 11 pm. I was tired and jet lagged from the flight but somehow Vegas has that ability to give me energy to still be able to go out and explore the strip!

Been coming to Vegas since the 70's, often twice yearly, I think the buzz starts at the airport. It definitely is a big part of the experience. Las Vegas is beyond special. Your videos are among the best of the vlogs, thank you for letting us stay in touch with Las Vegas.

Last time I was there my uber had to drop friends off at a different terminal than me and he took my luggage out thinking it was there's! So when we got to my drop off he opened the trunk and it was empty. I almost had a heart attack but within minutes I got a call and my luggage was in safe keeping 😊. So if you ever leave your luggage somewhere don't freak out too fast! Just make sure to always have your contact info attached! I've always had good experience at MCcarran! 😊 Also my uber was nice and didn't leave until he knew I had my luggage.

That's right you can see the Strip from Mccarran. Hell you can even walk to Mccarran. That's why taxi drivers take people through the Tunnel. It adds to cab fare. There used to be a bus stop just outside the airport that will even take you downtown to Fremont Street.

Hi, Monday will be my first time riding an airplane and my domestic flights are Atlanta, GA to Las Vegas, NV. Now I’m watching your video and I can’t help to panic when I see so many baggage claim carousels, how do I know which carousel to pick up my luggage from? I Can’t help to ask my second question, when you are laying over for the next flight do you have to pay luggage fees again to have your luggage put on a different plane but same Airline? Please help me get these questions answered before Monday August 05, 2019 Thank you!!!
