McCarran Airport seems to be getting smaller and smaller every time I pass through.

I'll be visiting Vegas for the first time soon. While reading about the city's traffic patterns, I've encountered the name of a highway called the "Desert Inn Connector" (or something similar to that).

While in Las Vegas this past week, I drove to the downtown area and noticed on all the casino parking lots a sign that read "free parking with validation," then a list of costs per hour. What exactly does the validation mean? I used the valet at Main Street Station instead.

Are there any good hypermiling possibilities when driving around Las Vegas in a rental car?

What's the best way to drive to Mt. Charleston and what hotels and restaurants are located on the mountain? I've also heard there’s a special brunch. If so, where is it served and what are the hours?
