Transportation

Getting Around Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a compact city with many attractions available in the central area around the Strip and downtown. Transportation options are numerous and varied, from renting a vintage Cadillac Eldorado or new Corvette, to taking a cab or hopping on the Las Vegas Monorail, one of the most modern transportation systems in the world. With all of these transportation options, you can still cover a lot of the city on foot. That said, the length of the Strip can be deceptive... it takes more time than you would think to walk from one end to the other.
