Unfortunately there are only 2 or 3 hotels with free shuttles from McCarran to their hotel
For a list of all the free hotel shuttles in LV, with info on each, including pickup times and locations.

The least expensive way to get from the airport to your hotel and usually the quickest is to take the CAT bus from the airport. Either the #108 Paradise or #109 Maryland Pkwy bus stops at the AP every 5 or 6 minutes. The wait for a taxi is almost always at least 30 minutes even at the slowest times of the day, arrive at McCarran on a busy Friday night during a special event or large convention and that wait will be over 2 hours.
It will cost you $2.50 for a 24 hour CAT pass, if you transfer to the Deuce(strip) bus the driver will charge you an extra .50c and issue you another 24 hour pass. This is their site for more info.

Rarely, but sometimes this is the best way to go.

It's a good idea to keep the TA's phone # on you, just in case.
We go to LV 2-3 times a year for 2 weeks or more at a time and have for over 20 years. We use the bus and free hotel shuttles for 99% of our transportaion. Next trip, June 6th - July 5th(30 days)

Later: You ask for "Free shuttles from the Las Vegas airport to hotels" >Like I said there are only a couple of hotels that provide FREE shuttles FROM the AIRPORT. I gave a full list of all of the free hotel shuttles in LV, check the list to see if your hotel is included, and where it goes.

It depends on where you are staying. Some of the larger hotels do offer them. But a lot of hotels are starting to charge for the shuttle or car service. If you are a high roller or VIP guest then most of the time this isn't even an issue. Best to call the hotel you're staying at and ask them directly.
Personally I would never ever take the bus in this town. Shell out the cash to take a quick cab ride or airport shuttle bus.

All I can say is that they might have a shuttle to take u and bring u back to the airport from the hotel . You should find out by calling the hotel you are going to stay at to see if you could make arrangements. But other than that there are shuttle at the airport that will take u too your hotel. We took a one way shuttle to the strip and it cost only $5. If you want a round trip it's a lil more but it's worth it. It's way cheaper than a taxi. The shuttle companies are usually located outside baggage claim outside of the airport bldg. Well here's a site that helped me out. Hope it will help you out aswell. Have a fun and safe trip in Vegas:)

yes ther is a shuttle from the airport to the strip which is free,but i usually tip a but a person. some drivers are ver cordial and intereting, some are not.
if you decide to take a taxi, it should const you approx 8 bucks for the strip, but keep in mind that the clock is running and the srip is long and congetsted which may raise you amount due.
if you really want a treat, rent a limo, its only $35 you and take your timel, have hime drive up a down the trip a few times, and even down to fremont street then to ou hotel. its wel worth the ride, ask around and some of your fellow travelors may split the cost for a spectacular ride, pluse you dont have to handl you bags when at the hotel. bel hops are there to meet you and see you to your room. good luck and have fun there are amillion things to do not to mention if you like to gamble. jackie

It depends on the hotel you're staying at. Some have free shuttles that will pick you up and drop you off at the hotels.

If you take a free shuttle, be sure to tip. Everything in Vegas requires tipping, especially if you want good seats at shows where there is not assigned seating. I would keep at least $20 in small bills in my pocket at all times.

Most of the larger motels or hotels have shuttles. Check with where you are staying.
