If you need a taxi from a resort and the taxi line is ridiculous, find out where the taxis are dropping off the previous customers and jump in when they get out. They won't kick you out. The taxi doesn't have to go to the back of the line and wait 20 minutes for a fare. Win/Win
Mahalo for the info guys. Airport to hotel and hotel to airport I go by taxi for the flat rate and the taxis are usually there in line waiting. Keep up the great work guys!
When I went to Las Vegas a few years ago, I used the tram and walked most of the time. I am going again in a few days and like you said walking is a great way to not feel as guilty eating what the doctor tells me to avoid. But it's vacation time!
In bygone days I always rented a car. With Covid, rental prices went sky-high, so Uber worked for getting to off-strip restaurants. However, the round trip was usually more expensive than the meal. I did rent a car on my last trip when I found a price less than $40/day (I have free parking at my hotel), but for my next trip I see prices have increased once again.
The comfortable shoes are an absolute must! In my times going to Vegas, i’ve driven there three times, flown several more. I usually use the shuttle service. The low price is worth having to make a handful of stops to get to my hotel. The one time i went by taxi was before the fixed rates snd i didn’t know enough to ask for the direct route. One time, i even walked from the airport to my hotel. Luckily, it was the MGM Grand. During my stays, i mostly walked; especially starting out. I just love the sightseeing. Depending on how far i’d go, i might take the bus back (it wasn’t the Deuce yet, just normal CAT) wasn’t worth the wait for a taxi save one time i went with a group.
Yowza, I didn't know that anyone would walk from the airport to MGM, but I guess it is pretty close. We haven't done the bus just yet, but do use the monorail and trams often. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Uber/lyft is the way to go for a longer trip, strip to Freemont etc. If you're really tired of walking, then the monorail is the way to go. They aren't in the most convenient places in the hotels but can cut an hr walk into ten minutes. The short trams are just a pain to get to and from and not worth it unless its the mandala bay to Excalibur tram.
@@NinthIslandConnection it will be my first time in LV. I will check out your other videos and I just subbed. Being from Canada, Nov temps will feel warm to me. Lol
Luxor is close to the highway, ride share would be the least expensive and most direct. The Cal is close to the highway too. Thanks for watching and the great question!
Are you sorta hoping this f1 thing is a flop just because of how much chaos it has caused? I remember seeing that the strip portion was supposed to be completed in May lol. Thats not taking into account the ridiculous prices of the event and rooms and threating to block views from public sidewalks. I feel like the city and its residents have been scammed unfortunately.
This year will be the worst for F1 construction and preparations because everything needed to be done. The repaving should be good for at least the next six years. And construction of the paddock and stands along that part the course will be permanent structures. The grandstands along the Strip, along with the lighting, are temporary structures. This year, most of the effort was in placing foundations for the stands. After this, they may be put up and taken down as quickly as similar structures for the Monaco Grand Prix; go up about two weeks before the race. Same for the temporary traffic bridges. As for prices. That will depend on attendance. If it sells out, the prices won’t change. If there’s a lot if empty seats, the prices will drop to entice ticket sales.
@@mmasque2052 Who said this? F1? I doubt the residents believe anything that they say at this point. In other cities they aren't trying to shoehorn a racetrack into one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Most people would have trouble finding Monaco on a map much less tell you where the F1 track was located. Of course, the build up and take down will be much easier in those places. It's not selling out now which is why price for the rooms and the race have gone to something more reasonable from the absurd price point in which they started. The prices will continue to drop until they sell out so they can advertise it as "sold out".
Umm, not really. I think that it was very poorly managed and the city chose money over residents. On the other side, this monstrosity did create a lot of jobs, some of them permanent because of this being an annual event. I hope that they learned from this first one and consider the impact on locals.

Thats a great tip, they don't want to e sitting around waiting either. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Good advice,tks

The weather is going to be perfect for being outside! Hope you have a wonderful time!
@@NinthIslandConnectionThank you. I am looking forward to this trip especially because of the weather.
Thanks you're the best knowledge about Las Vegas
Great information! I’ve only used ride share and was amazed at how much the prices fluctuate
Taxi in , Rideshare out!!
Thanks for the tip!

We use the Deuce all the time!

Thanks for watching and the greta feedback!
Thanks for the video. I am going to LV in November and getting all the info i can. Walking and the Deuce will be my main methods of transportation.
Walking is always easiest, November will be great weather for exploring the strip! Thanks for watching, hope you have a great time and win big!

Hey Sebastián! For sure good shoes are a must! Thanks for the updates and tips! 😊❤Vance and J.B
They are, we see so many many people (mostly women) carrying their shoes down the sidewalk, walking barefoot and through the casinos. Gross lol!
On the way back to a hotel room, enjoy yourself, that's why you left the hotel room to begin with !!!
😃 hey that's funny
@@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jt a good time was had! 😂
THE LOOP = FREE. THE DOUCE $20 FOR UNLIMITED RIDE ON/OFF FOR 3 DAYS.
I wonder what’s the best way to get from the flamingo to Fremont?
Ride Share will be less than a taxi, but can also take the Deuce. Deuce will take longer though. Great question!
What would be the best way to get to luxor from the California hotel on a Saturday night?
Luxor is close to the highway, ride share would be the least expensive and most direct. The Cal is close to the highway too. Thanks for watching and the great question!
Where do you get the loop from 4 Queens downtown?
Great question, looks like Circa is the closest to 4 Queens. Map here: www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Residents/Parking-Transportation/Downtown-Loop
I thought the bus was the most reliable, current, and cheapest option for the strip?
Tourists leave their rooms!
Is there a rule that they cant enjoy themselves, when theyre walking back to the hotel ???
