Each transportation method has strengths and weaknesses for Las Vegas. Our table below breaks them down for you. You also need to know these key tips for navigating Vegas.
Las Vegas blocks can be 1/4 mile long along Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip) which makes walking across the street a bigger task than you would think. Non-handicapped mobility scooter use has grown rapidly in Vegas.
Rush hour on the Strip can start earlier than 3:30pm and extend past 8:00pm. The Strip is less busy from 5:00am to 9:00am because most shuttles don’t operate that early and the clubs have emptied.
Lanes of major roads are often under construction or under phantom construction (closed for no apparent reason). If driving, be prepared to follow lanes that shift suddenly with warning signs blanketed under graffiti.
Vegas drivers are not as bad as some cities but many people come here from LA. These drivers know from divine revelation that if they are 30 seconds late to a Strip Club, the world will end. They will not let you make a lane change in front of them because they want to save mankind.
