Transportation in Vegas
One fallacy about Vegas, is that’s it’s easier to “cab-it” than to drive. In my opinion, it’s much easier to drive than take a cab. No only are cabs expensive, but the required waiting time for a cab can exceed 1 hour. Unlike many cities, Las Vegas cabs don’t pick up passengers on the street – they only pick up at hotels, or on pre-call-in locations. The average cab fare is $20.00 due to the traffic. Worst of all passengers have to wait in line at a location that has no heat or air conditioning. For more information please visit www.BedandOffice.com
The solution is simple. Every hotel in Vegas has easy parking, and even better, most have valet services. The valet services in town are FREE, and an acceptable tip is $1.00. By the way, valet customers usually have air-conditioned/ heated waiting rooms, and depending on the hotel, it usually takes 5-10 minutes to get your car If you book your car rental in advance, you’ll find competitive rates at about $25.00 daily.
UPDATE: With competing car rental companies the rental rates are dropping fast. Most of the major car rentals are as low as $12.00 or less per day. Check out the weekly rates if you’re planning on staying close to 7 days – sometimes that daily rate is low enough to offset the cost of additional days you may not use.
