Taxi
Taxis at Las Vegas Airport is perhaps the best mode of transport in terms of price and comfort. This is a more convenient option than a bus and a more affordable option than the transfer that you can also order at this airport. Transportation is organized by the Nevada Taxicab Authority.
Las Vegas taxis from airport are able to quickly deliver a passenger to any point in the city, of course, provided that there are not many traffic jams on the roads. For example, with this transport you can get to downtown Las Vegas in 15 minutes.
If you plan to use a taxi to Las Vegas Airport, remember that one car can carry no more than six passengers at a time. This number includes children as well as infants.
The airport administration recommends that you always write down the carrier’s name, vehicle number, and driver’s name. You will need this information in case you forget something in the car or you are not satisfied with the service and want to complain to the taxi service.
