The airport is close to the strip. Take a taxi or airport shuttle depending on the number of people. Check out www.goingtovegas.com. for prices.

Take a cab. Its pretty inexpensive and beats taking the shuttles that stop at all the other hotels. A cab only costs around 15 bucks. IThere are tons of cabs at the airport. I go to Vegas 4-5 times a year! Love that place!

The Stratosphere is way up the strip, depending upon the time of day/night a taxi will be about $20. We go to Vegas alot and from the airport to the Mirage was $15 in May, but it does depend on traffic, street driver takes, time of the day, etc.
A taxi is the most practical if there are two (or more of you). For one person who is trying to be economical I guess a shuttle would work (altho it would take awhile to get there as they stop at several hotels along the way).
If you are going to Vegas for the Strip Experience I would not stay at the Stratosphere.

If you pick a shuttle, keep in mind: Stratosphere is not on the strip as far as the shuttles are concerned.
You should take a shuttle to downtown, and the price is about $1 per person higher.
I think we paid $4.50 per person to the strip, but Strat. and downtown was $5.50.

I wouldn`t stay at the Stratosphere. I think the area is kind of dumpy, and not close to the good hotels on the strip. I took the shuttle one way, as I was alone and it was kind of fun to see all the hotels. Going back, I was with family, and a cab was cheaper, since there were 4 of us.

We always take a limo, by limo I mean town car. Call the hotel and add a limo transfer to your reservation. Nothing beats having someone greet you at the airport, handle your luggage and take you directly to your hotel. No lines, no waiting, no schlepping. Since the strip is so close and it's a town car, it is not a lot of money. Nothing beats getting into an air conditioned car with a cool drink waiting for you.

OK OK, I am not going to the airport in vegas to strip! You guys are pretty funny!
I will be there for a law enforcement training that is being held at the Strat, that is why I am staying there!
Thanks for the comments, all of them! I will try the limo thing with 6 people and if that doesn't work, I'll grab a cab.

For 6 people, you will need a limo larger than a towncar - especially if you include baggage. You should be able to get a standard strech for under $100 from the airport.
It may be more cost effective to get a cab (or 2 cabs). There are numerous SUV/minivan cabs available.

The problem with taking a shuttle is that they tend to stop at a lot of hotels dropping people off. If you're going to the Stratosphere, chances are you'll be the last one dropped off, which means that the ride to the hotel can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes. A taxi is much faster.
