You can find anything from limos to taxis and shuttle van's just outside the airport. I think $20 to anwhere on strip is about right, but it's been a couple years since I was last out there.

[Chris]

I am not sure if the AP has a shuttle to/from the airport, but depending on how much luggage/equipment you have, you can take a shuttle to one of the hotels that are close (Amerisuites/Hard Rock etc) and walk across the street to the AP.

[Dented-Halo]

anyone know what the cost for the limos are?

like if a few buds wanted to grab a limo from the AP to say one of the bars/clubs/strip joints... you konw show up in style etc

:)

nice to be noticed... ;)

[astcell]

Now should I presume that all this info is available at the airport somewhere? Or will the high priced taxis take us for a ride while the cheaper limo sits there unnoticed?

Dude...there is a nudie bar almost right across the street form the AP. I would suggest walking, not paying for a limo.

[astcell]

So the nudie bar provides limo service from the airport?

Probably...but reading is fundamental..and he asked about a limo from the AP to a nudie bar.

[astcell]

Ah got it. Once I get to the hotel I'm set, taxis ought to be easy form that point on. I never did notice a strip joint in walking distance from the AP, maybe the Strippercons totally got me disinterested.

[Chris]

It isn't right across the street. It is actually across the street from that little grocery/liquor/subway/pizza joint. Has a big sign with chicks on it. Provides valet parking. Too high class for my blood.
