When the Strip backs up, walking can be the fastest way to get somewhere. If you are a Volksmarcher or a jogger, you may enjoy this exercise. To avoid blisters, a thin nylon socklet used under a regular cotton crew sock works well. You may also need to drink up to a gallon of water a day under Las Vegas heat. Las Vegas enforces Jaywalking rules on the Strip unlike many cities and this also helps save lives. If you are not into walking but don’t want to use the other transportation means, an increasingly popular alternative is a mobility scooter formerly relegated to handicapped and elderly. A big model can cruise over 7 miles per hour (MPH). The smaller wheelchair size models can get up to about 4.5 MPH. Typical rents are $40 a day, $75 for 2 days, $110 for 3 days with a weekly rate of $20 per day for 4-7 days. Avis can combine car and mobility scooter rentals although most hotels can arrange for scooters as well. Although there may be a stigma for healthy, young users of mobility scooters, it should fade with growing usage.
