Self-driving rides in Las Vegas: map, prices and how to ride

Getting from the airport to the Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is just a short distance from Harry Reid International Airport (formerly McCarran International Airport), making it convenient to reach one of the most famous entertainment districts in the world. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate your options.

Rideshare Services (Uber/Lyft)

One of the most convenient ways to reach the Strip is by using rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft. Pickup zones are well-marked at the airport:

• Terminal 1: Level 2 of the parking garage

• Terminal 3: Outside the arrivals area

Prices typically range between $24 and $41.

FareEstimate.com Tip for Vegas ride-sharing:

“Always check Uber and Lyft prices before booking—they can vary significantly depending on demand.”

“Make sure to walk to the rideshare pickup area (or be close to it) before calling your ride. Drivers won’t wait long, and it can get chaotic.”

Taxis

Taxis are plentiful, but they tend to be pricier than rideshares due to airport surcharges and potential “long hauling” (taking a longer route to increase the fare). Expect to pay $25–$30 for a ride to the Strip.

FareEstimate.com Tip for Taxis:

“Politely remind your driver to avoid the freeway unless traffic on surface streets is bad—it’s a common trick to hike the fare.”

Shuttle Services

Shared airport shuttles cost around $10–$15 per person and are a good option for budget-conscious travelers. However, they make multiple stops, so your journey might take longer.

FareEstimate.com Tip for Shuttle Services:

“If you’re traveling solo, shuttles are a decent option. But with two or more people, rideshares are faster and often cheaper.”

Public Transportation

The RTC Bus Route 109 takes you from the airport to the South Strip Transit Terminal, where you can transfer to buses heading up the Strip. A 2-hour pass costs $6, or you can get a 24-hour pass for $8.

FareEstimate.com Tip for Public Transportation

“This is by far the cheapest way to get to the Strip, but it’s not ideal if you have heavy luggage.”

Car Rentals

Renting a car is an excellent option for travelers exploring beyond the Las Vegas Strip. The airport’s Rent-A-Car Center, easily accessible via a complimentary shuttle service, offers various vehicles to suit your needs. From standard sedans to luxury sports cars and electric options like Teslas, you'll find the perfect ride for your adventure.

FareEstimate.com Tip for Car Rentals

“Unless you’re leaving the city, don’t bother renting a car. Parking fees on the Strip are expensive, and you won’t use it much.”

From rideshares and taxis to budget-friendly buses and shuttles, there’s no shortage of options for getting from the Las Vegas airport to the Strip.
