Getting Around: Exploring Las Vegas

Las Vegas, often simply known as Vegas, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the seat of Clark County. The Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area is the largest within the greater Mojave Desert, and second largest in the Southwestern United States. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned city and the Las Vegas Valley serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.

Flights

Harry Reid International Airport is conveniently located just 2 miles from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center, with most hotels located within a 15-minute drive from the airport. Harry Reid International Airport currently has more than 1,050 inbound and outbound flights per day and direct service to nearly 150 U.S. and international cities (as of June 2022).

Trains

Whether on vacation or visiting Las Vegas for a meeting or convention, the Monorail makes your trip to Las Vegas even more enjoyable, saving you time without the hassles of traffic. Riders can conveniently navigate the Las Vegas Strip in less than 15 minutes at speeds of up to 50 mph. The Las Vegas Monorail offers mobile tickets and several fare types to suit travel needs, from a one-way trip to an unlimited-ride pass.

Cars

Taxis are a reliable form of transportation used throughout Vegas for decades. With several companies to choose from, you never have to worry about there not being enough drivers at a late hour. The Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center houses 10 car rental companies in one location. The center is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with continuous shuttle service to and from airport terminals. Ridesharing, commonly associated with Uber and Lyft, is a convenient option for visitors to get around the destination, no matter where you are in Las Vegas.

Shows

Las Vegas, aka The Entertainment Capital of the World, is home to dozens of incredible shows with something for just about everyone. Other places may claim to have the best shows, but they don't hold a candle to the best Vegas shows. While the endless selection is great for locals, for those of you who are only in town for a few days it can be difficult to determine what the best show in Vegas actually is. For this reason we hand-picked the best shows in Vegas in hopes of helping you select the perfect show while you’re here.

Restaurants

While some might argue that the best way to get to know a place as sensory saturated as Las Vegas is to get out and explore, to truly experience this city, from the Strip to downtown and from the westside to Boulder City, is to taste it. Beyond offering delicious dupes of renowned restaurants from coast to coast, all within a four-mile stretch around the Las Vegas Valley, the area brightly shines with an up-and-coming local dining scene, innovative takes on culinary trends and exceptional places to try different types of cuisines in varying styles.

Things to Do

There are so many fun things to do in Las Vegas, some of them are even free! We're here to help you find the best things to do from the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign on the Strip to Fremont Street Experience. Whether it's a fun party on the High Roller, a weekend birthday bash, day trip to the Grand Canyon, or where to shop inside the Forum Shops at Caesars, we got you covered. If you're already in Vegas searching for "attractions and activities near me", here you go!
