Answer 1

If you get long hauled threaten to call call the Nevada Taxicab Authoriry. You'll get a free ride. [phone]

Answer 2

The ride will cost approx $8+ tip, that is depending the taxi driver goes the 2.4 mile route shown on Google.

Here is the breakdown of taxi rates in Las vegas http://www.taxi.state.nv.us/FaresFees.htm

Answer 3

Might I suggest just using the CAT transit system, it is much cheaper then a cab and the buses are clean & safe. Best of all a 24 hour system pass is only $2.50

Answer 4

Cabby's know how to charge in Vegas so it will cost you more than a typical US city. You will be handing over about 25.00 with a tip included.

Answer 5

I was just there. That ride assuming normal traffic is about $10.00 including tip.

Answer 6

if your going in the day time, its a pretty short walk from there down sands to the venetian/harrahs off koval. the monorail runs from harrahs to mgm

Answer 7

with the over priced taxi fares its about $14 you would be better off walking and play the slots with your $ 14 you have saved

Answer 8

I would check out the bus routs. Its cheaper and not that bad.

Answer 9

I think you could get away with having your pants dragged off and your cute botty being spun around on the craps...if you couldn't pay..

Normally, I would imagine, having never been there, 50 usd?

Hope that punt in the dark helps
