If you’re looking to create a memorable vacation experience during your next road trip, you need to consider all the different ways you might want to get there. In this blog post, we will tell you about a few options for traveling to Las Vegas from the strip. So, let’s get started.
Take The Shortcut
If you’re using Google Maps, all you need to do is search for Las Vegas and the first result will be a map with the directions right on it. From the airport, take the “Golden Nugget” Expressway westbound to I-15. After leaving the airport, take the first exit on the left (Las Vegas Boulevard South) and continue on Las Vegas Boulevard South for approximately ten miles. You will reach the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign after about fifteen minutes of driving. Before long, you will spot Caesars Palace on your right and the Golden Nugget on your left. Continue on ahead to the next exit, which will take you to Las Vegas Boulevard North. Follow this road for about three miles and you will arrive at the Fremont Street Experience (aka The Strip). If you are running a bit late, you can always take the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign tour instead, which will give you a quick peek into the city and its offerings.
Flydirect
If you’re looking for an alternative and want to avoid the typical long haul from the east, you can always opt for the “Flydirect” option on Delta.com. This option will get you to Vegas directly and in a reasonable amount of time. You will need to download the Delta mobile app to your smartphone before you fly though. Once you’re at the airport, follow the instructions on the app to get to your departure gate. You can also use this option to get to nearby cities like Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, among others.
Rent A Car
To save you the trouble of driving and trying to figure out where to eat and how to get around, we suggest that you rent a car. This will give you ultimate freedom and will make getting to and from destinations much more convenient. When you rent a car in Las Vegas, be sure to ask for “no charge” nights if you want to spend an extra night or two at the hotel. This will make the whole travel experience worthwhile. Another great option is to rent a luxury sedan, such as a BMW, which will make you feel like a real celebrity. Just make sure that you remember your license and registration when you return the vehicle, as well as any other relevant documents. You can also ask the car rental company to drop you off at the airport instead of the hotel so you can avoid the hassles of finding a parking space and checking in early in the morning.
Take A Limo Driver
Another way to get to Las Vegas is to take a limo driver. A professional driver will take you directly to your hotel, wherever you please on the Strip, and will handle all the driving for you. This is a great option for those who want to make the most of their vacation but don’t want to drive themselves or rent a car. If you’re looking for an elegant way to travel and don’t mind spending a little more money, this is a great option. Just make sure that you book the service well in advance, as well as ask about additional charges for certain events and times, like concerts and other large gatherings. This way, you can be sure that the costs will be included in your overall travel package.
Use Lyft
Last but not least, we have Lyft. This is a different kind of service, as it connects you with a driver who is nearby and who is willing to share their car ride with you. You give the driver a pickup location and a destination, and they will navigate to your location and pick you up. You can also request a car to be waiting for you at the airport, making the whole process much easier. When you are in the area, you can also use Lyft to get around town. Some destinations are much closer than others, so you can use this option to save time and hassle. You will need a Lyft account to do this, as the service is available in most metropolitan areas. This is another option that will make getting around much easier and more convenient.
Once you’re in Las Vegas, you can use all these methods to get to the Strip and explore all its wonders. You can take a stroll down the “Shoppes at the Stratosphere,” ride rideshare to the attractions, or visit one of the city’s greatest attractions, the “Grand Canyon”. You can start your vacation from the top and work your way down, visiting some of the city’s greatest restaurants and nightclubs along the way. You can opt for the quick and easy airport option, which will get you close to your hotel and to the airport. From there, you can take a taxi or rental car to the Strip, or you can use the Lyft service to get there in style. With all these different options, you can be sure to find the one that will make your vacation memorable.
