Airport pickup at McCarran - recommendation?

freekobe · #1 03-15-2005, 01:00 PM

Can anyone suggest a reliable taxi/limo service that does airport pickups in Vegas? Coming in on Friday night and don't feel like standing in the 45min-1hr cab line (yes, it will be that long, at least, this Friday night).

Thanks in advance.

every where will be busy this weekend but there are limos waiting at the airport maybe you could get on quicker than a taxi

Is it going to be busy due to the NCAA tourny? I'm just wondering since I'm coming in a Monday and am hoping that it's still busy and the games are good.

Yeah, this weekend will be nuts.

Are there typically guys with empty limos hanging around downstairs, waiting for people to come down to baggage claim? If so, that's a real possibility too.

I'd prefer to have something set up, particularly if it's not that much more expensive. When you're only going to be in Vegas for 40 hours, waiting an hour for a cab is unacceptable.

It will be busy bc of the tournament, the WSOP Circuit events, and random conventions. I think Monday will be significantly less busy.

It's not that they're playing there, but that everyone will be in Vegas to bet on the games.

I'm not quite as smart as I look and I don't look that smart either.

It's been more than a decade since I've been there...thanks

To "cut" to the front of the taxi line, find a "porter" in the baggage claim area (a guy with a baggage cart) and throw him a couple bucks to get a taxi. You can do that even if you just have carry-on bags. Those guys have a separate (shorter/non-existent) taxi line.
