Transportation betn Airport to The Strip

Hi,

What is the best way to get to a Strip hotel (Venetian) from the airport (arriving after 11pm)?
Are the commercial shuttles (Showtime etc) better than cabs?

-Thanks

The airport is only a five minute cab ride from the strip...I don't remember exactly how much... but with all that money in your pockets, you could also hire a limo...about $40... there are always a few parked and ready in the ground transport area...

Take a cab, and specify that they go down Paradise, not the freeway. Cuts the milage by about half and at that time of night, waiting is usually not an issue. Costs about $15 + tip. The shuttles take forever and I'm not sure they run that late.

I send Spokaneman's post. A shuttle will cost you about $10 -- and you'll have to wait . The cab is worth it.

A shuttle is about $5 one-way. You can buy a round-trip or a one-way ticket.

Taxi is faster. For 3 people it's even more economical.
