Cab Fare from Airport to Downtown

Right at the airport (just a short stroll from bag claim). It stops once on the strip, right alongside New York New York.

Read all about it.

Is 4th and Carson the downtown stop? I'm not familiar with those street names.

You catch the WAX--as with all RTC buses that service the airport--at the Zero Level at McC. When you get to baggage, just ask someone that looks like an employee how to get to the zero level. It is one level below the baggage claims, but the stairs and elevators are kind of hidden----I've done it numerous times and still occasionally have to ask for directions. It is a "residential" route and costs $2 one way. You can get off at NYNY or ride it DT.

Yep, that has a tendency to confuse me too----it is the stop next to the Walgreens just east of Fitz.
But on the return to the airport, it picks up in the middle of Fremont Experience between Binions and Fremont just literally a few steps north of the canopy. You will see the ticket machines and benches there---often a crowd as well since the SDX (but not the Deuce) picks up there as well. Just be sure you board the WAX if that is what you want.

Any recommendations dated 2022/2023 for airport to Fremont transportation?

Thanks.

Depends on how fast you want to get there. Cheapest and slowest; city bus. Fastest and most expensive: cab. In between: Bell Trans or one of the other shuttle bus operators.

 

Don't use Lyft or Uber unless you like surprises.

I will plagiarize the phrase "rat's rectum," so I thank you for that.

 

Pre-pandemic, my plan was t move to Las Vegas (I'm 65) for the duration (of not being in the ground). I have had to re-evaluate that idea after my last couple of trips. Right now, I think I could stomach living in Boulder City or in a townhouse out by South Point or M, but I think that's about it for my LV domicile ideas. I'll start up a thread in a few days asking for feedback on this.

 Robert, I have also entertained moving to Vegas. Please start your thread as I am interested in reading the feedback.

I bought my last Vegas house a little over 20 years ago. It was in the just-developing area of Sikverado Ranch. It was ideal, as the mostly-completed I-215 section between Fiesta and South Point allowed you to get anywhere in a flash. Unfortunately, now the traffic on the Beltway is pretty bad, and I-15 and I-215 can be hopeless.

 

What you have to do is live in the neighborhood you choose rather than in Las Vegas as such--the way you might if you lived in an L.A. suburb. You don't venture farther afield except on rare occasions--it just takes too long. And yeah, you have casinos--but you'll only be within easy strrinking distance of a couple or three of them. And they're not the bargains they once were (to put it mildly).

 

Also.. all the new development looks cookie-cutter and charmless IMHO. Your house will look EXACTLY like thousands of others...and there will be no distinctiveness to your neighborhood. It'll be like living in the suburbs in any of a hundred American cities...albeit with 117-degree temperatures. But as they told Joan of Arc, "It's a dry heat."

 

The final killer for me was Vegas's isolation. You're not within day-trip range of anything or anywhere, except maybe L.A. (and you'll only try that once). And did I mention that for five months if the year, it's like living in a pizza oven? I did? Well, it bears repeating
