Travelers' pro tips for experiencing Las Vegas
In the words of those who've been there before ...
What is the best way to get there?
Flying:
McCarran International Airport is the main commercial airport servicing Las Vegas. Shuttle buses run from the airport to Strip hotels, Downtown Las Vegas and off-strip hotels.
Bus:
Greyhound offers bus services to Las Vegas with a terminal in Downtown Las Vegas.
Driving:
Travelers driving to Las Vegas usually approach the Strip off the I-15 Fwy.
Do I need a visa?
If you’re visiting Las Vegas from overseas, use the State Department’s Visa Wizard to see if you need a visa.
When is the best time to visit?
Spring (February to April): It's in summer that you’ll find Vegas’ hottest pool parties but to avoid the suntanned throngs of international party-goers, plan a visit in late spring when the pools are open, spring break is over, and the crowds are relatively thin.
However, travelers looking to snag a deal can do so in chilly December, before the holiday season kicks in.
Bus
RTC buses operate daily with popular Strip and Downtown routes running 24/7 every 15 to 20 minutes.
Shuttles
Many off-Strip casino hotels offer limited shuttle buses to and from the Strip for free.
Monorail
The Las Vegas Monorail operates daily along the Strip with trains every 4-8 minutes.
Taxis and Rideshare
Local safety laws prohibit hailing a cab on the street. Instead, taxi stands can be found at almost every casino hotel and shopping mall. Uber and Lyft rideshare services are also readily available.
Driving
Parking is available in hotel and shopping mall garages for a fee. There is also some free and paid Strip parking available.
