Getting Around Las Vegas
Taxis
For fastest service, find the taxi stand at the rear or front of a hotel or casino. Base fare is $3.30, plus $2.65 per mile. It's generally better to walk to a hotel entrance to get a waiting cab then to try to flag one down on the Strip; drivers are encouraged to wait at hotels.
