Airport to Downtown

What is the best way to get to Main Street Station from the Airport.

We are staying 3 nights there and picking up our rent a car there also.
Is the best way by cab? cost ? or taking one of the shuttle services?

Any help would be great ty

For two people with bags, I'd take a taxi. For speed, tell the driver to take Tropicana to I-15 and avoid the tunnel. Fare should be about $32 before tip. Or, if you think traffic's good, save a few bucks and suggest surface streets (Paradise to the Strip to downtown).

Or, if cost is a primary concern, go to the Zero Level at the airport and take the WAX---$2 each.

I think WAX is good for one, I use it on solo trips frequently. But:

* WAX only leaves once an hour, and
* WAX doesn't serve Terminal 3, so if you're flying United, Alaska, Frontier, JetBlue, Virgin America, or many others, you'll have to board the inter-terminal shuttle just to get to the WAX stop, a shuttle that itself only runs every 12-15 minutes.

In most circumstances, then, for 2-4 people taxi's the way to go.

Sorry but what is the wax?

Westcliff Avenue Express---the LV Regional Transportation Commission's express bus that runs from McCarren Airport to the Westcliff Transportation Center in west LV. It only stops at NYNY coming from the airport and at the Trop going to the airport, with regard to the Strip. So it is not that useful for the Strip unless you are staying near that end. But it is ideal for Downtown, since it makes only a few residential stops between NYNY and DT. You can get off at the Bonneville Trans Center (4 blocks south of Fremont) or stay on and exit directly on Fremont. It is a residential route so it is $2/boarding/person. Return trip picks up between Binions and Fremont hotels within a few steps of Fremont St. As Chill notes, however, it only runs every 45-60 mon depending on the time of day. Takes us about 25min from boarding to DT, or vice versa.

thank you

I was long-hauled to MSS - over $50.00. Since then I get my car at the airport.
