Need RTC advice for Airport to Cosmo bus ride

Can anyone give me the details of how to get from the airport to Cosmo's on the strip. Where do I get on and how close is the stop to my Casino. Can I take a roll on bag with me? Cost? Anyones inside info would be appreciated. Thanks
Take a taxi (cab) which will run you around $15.00, or take one of the airport shuttles, a flat $7.50 one way which is the better deal for one person. Either way your luggage will be loaded and unloaded by the driver. Both are lined up waiting outside of baggage claim.

The advantage of taxi is that they head out immediately from the airport when you get in. The disadvantage is that you can't be certain how much it will cost. Heavy traffic (afternoons) can make the final fare higher.

The shuttles wait until at least mostly filled (8-12 people), which could be anywhere from 2-15 minutes, if that bothers you. But no matter how long it takes to get you to Cosmo, you have already paid the $7.50 so no worries there.

There are several shuttle companies with their people beckoning you over. One is as good as the other. You purchase your ticket at the stand, stating which hotel you are going to, and they direct you to a shuttle taking people to Strip hotels. The driver loads your luggage in the back.

The taxi and shuttle both pull up to the hotel. There is no off property "stop". One nice thing about the shuttle is you get a bit of a look at many of the Strip hotels as the driver drops each customer off. Kinda fun.

You can buy a round trip ticket for the shuttle but I don't recommend it because they aren't that accurate with their pick up times. Plan to take a taxi back to the airport. And, for some reason, the taxi ride back to the airport is usually without the run-around problems people often experience from airport to hotel.

Good luck and enjoy your visit!
I have also shared cab rides a few times when I have arrived solo. Both after landing at McCarren and returning to the airport at the end of the trip. Heading out to taxi line, I will just ask loudly, "Anyone want to share cab fare to Wynn?" or wherever I am staying. Others have jumped at the chance. It's especially easy when you've checked out and you see others lined up for a cab, with luggage in tow. Have had some nice conversations with people. And if you're worried about personal space, ride shotgun in the front seat.
