Ritz Carlton outside of Las Vegas

[Roy Hobbs]

Has anyone stayed there? How long of a drive is it to the strip? (or perhaps more importantly, how much is the cab fare?)

Thanks, RH

Hmmmm... if you are staying at the Ritz does the cab fare matter? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Of course it matters. First of all, if it's a long drive/cab, I may change my mind about staying there. Second, if the cab fare is $50+, that's an extra $300 in pure travel expense, which I don't need.

Believe it or not, it's cheaper to stay at the Ritz than to stay at the better strip hotels, and I imagine that it's nicer and I won't have to walk through a mile of slot machines to get to my room.

its about a 25 minute ride --- VERY nice out there --
CAB would be a FORTUNE --------just a guess -- close to 50 plus forthe ride ONE WAY -- you may want to cal and see ifthey have a shuttle

I guess I was just basing my comments on the Ritz Laguna here in SoCal. I think $400 gets you a closet with a bed in it. I just looked up the Ritz vegas it is out by the lake in Henderson. Looks like a long cab ride to me. I would think you would want to rent a car if you stay that far from the action.

I have stayed at the Ritz. It's a nice hotel, and Lake Las Vegas is very serene. The layout for the hotel is a bit labrynth like though (you'll see what I mean as you try to navigate to your room).

Unfortuantely, the cab ride from the Ritz to the strip won't be cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if it were $75 or more. If you're staying there, then I suggest you rent a car if you want to get to the strip.
