how do most of you get from the airport to the strip? cab, shuttle, etc? any pros or cons to these options?
best way from airport to strip?
The shuttle buses are a good inexpensive option. I don%26#39;t like taxis, ever since our first ever arrival in LV, where the ever-so-chatty driver took us the long way round, ending up with a $45 bill. We now rent a car every time, so use the excellent rental facility shuttle buses.

I think most people just take a cab. It is probably the quickest way and it might be the cheapest way if there are two or more of you. The lines might be long but they usually move rather quickly.
The shuttles may seem like a bargain if you are alone but they can be time wasters. You have to wait until the driver feels there are enough passengers and then you waste more time dropping people off at their hotels. Most people like to quickly get to their hotel and start their vacation- no wasted time on a bus. People have reported problems using them to return to the airport-they either came late or not at all.
Some people opt for a Limo. There are some available at the airport or you can reserve a limo before you arrive so they can help you with your luggage. They charge by the hour and you can then stop off at a supermarket to get snacks and liquor cheaply and you might still have time to take a tour of the strip.
Shuttles can be cheap but they aren%26#39;t efficient because they wait to load the whole bus before departing and they may stop at several places before your hotel. Since they charge by the person, its cheaper sometimes to take a cab, which charges per ride. Its also faster to go by cab. The third option is limo which isn%26#39;t cheaper but its certainly more fun. They can be hired at the airport. Fourth option is car rental which is smart if you go offstrip or take a lot of ccabs.
The cab to most places on the strip is btw only $10-15, the shuttle is $6 or more PER Person and as they said, makes you wait until the shuttle fully fills up before it leaves and then stops at other hotels.
I would take a cab. Last year I went through this and ended up taking a cab and it worked out perfect. From the airport to the Flamingo it was like $7 plus tip.
I%26#39;ve tried them all. My preferences are in this order:
1. Rental car
2. Taxi
3. Limo
4. Hitchhike
5. Walk
I%26#39;ll never take the shuttle again. Inconvenient, uncomfortable, and wastes a lot of time.
