Local Tips

  • Official taxis use regulated flat-zone fares to the Strip and downtown — predictable cost with no surge. Taxi ranks: T1 Doors 1–4 (east side), T3 Level Zero near Door 52.
  • Uber and Lyft pick up in the parking garage, not curbside — T1 Level 2M, or T3 via Level 1, across the parking bridge, to garage Level V.
  • If a taxi driver takes the 'tunnel route' to the Strip, it doesn't cost more (flat-zone fares apply) but it's slightly longer — you can ask for the surface route.
  • Surge pricing spikes hard during major events (CES, big conferences, holiday weekends) and late nights — official taxis avoid surge.
  • RTC Route 109 bus reaches the Strip affordably but slowly; there's no rail from the airport.

Tarmyq local tip

If your taxi driver tries to take the 'tunnel route' to the Strip, it doesn't cost you more (flat-rate zones apply) but it's slightly longer. You can politely ask for the surface route to the Strip if you prefer.
