you should take a cab from the airport

and for the rest of the time there...just walk

if you are going to be in the tourist area, the city is mostly for walking, it would be a waste of money to get a rental, because you really wouldn't be driving around all that much.

I've been to Vegas. Taking a cab is much easier because ALL the cab drivers know exactly what's where. And in Vegas, it takes the stress of finding and parking at anyplace.


We were in the hotel elevator with this lady that was all stressed out cause she was late getting back her rental car and, therefor late to the airport.

We grabbed a cab everywhere. SO much easier.

I don't think it was ever over 20 either.

That link is absolutely no help to me at all.
The hotel I plan on staying at isn't on the list and I really don't know where I will be going once I get there.

I just need a general idea of the benefits of renting a car vs using a cab for a weekend trip to Vegas.

I'm just a simple country boy who has never visited a city
larger that 200,000 that I wasn't somewhat familiar with.

And I stayed at the Palms which isn't on the strip, and I don't remember it costing anything over $20 even to get you to the other side of the strip. Even to Fremont Street (which is a MUST do) to check out old Vegas and the light show over the street.

Where are you staying Owl?

I FUCKING MISS VEGAS!

I really havent made any concrete decisions as of yet.

I was looking at one hotel on Travelosity last night
just to get an idea of how much this will cost.

I think round trip tickets + hotel room were averaging $1000-1200.

How did you plan your trip to Vegas magik?
How long did you stay?
How much money did you spend?

Let me preface this with a little back story:

A friend of mine introduced me to this guy at a party. Guy was loaded. Guy was also lonely. Guy said "Hey Magik, you wanna go on a trip?" I sure as shit didn't not believe him, since I've never had anyone take me on a trip, especially to Vegas and I'd only known him about 2 months...so one day he told me to goto Priceline and build a trip and send him the link, within 10 minutes I had a confirmation and tickets. I was SUPER cautious and worried this trip would all goto hell in a hand basket, however it ended up being the BEST trip of my life.

That being said. We stayed at the Palms for 5 days and with round trip tickets from Vegas to Michigan I *think* it was $2000 for two people. Keep in mind this is the Palms. It's one of the best hotels in Vegas. That's why it was a bit higher. We went in September which is the 'slow' season. But it's a perfect time to go. Weather is perfect. Not too hot.

We spent a shitload of money, I'll be honest. But it wasn't my money, and he was shelling it out.
But if it were me, I could of probably got by with a grand or so for the week. The casino's feed you drinks, but you gotta be gambling. We saw the  Blue Man Group VIP and Smashing Pumpkins, those tix were expensive. But you can get passes and shit from your hotel for cheaper tix, club passes etc.

I'd recommend staying on the strip, not necessarily the Palms. New York New York is nice, MGM, Tropicana, Hard Rock. All of em. And right now they're doing ALOT of specials to get people in.

I also recommend priceline over travelocity

Hope that kinda helped.

still $2/pick up and now about $2.25/mile
