De I-15 is een schilderachtige weg die Zuid-Californië verbind met Las Vegas. Attracties langs de I-15 zijn onder andere de steden [[Barstow]], [[Baker]], de Mojave-woestijn en de kleine hotel-casino's in de plaatsjes [[Primm]] en [[Jean]]. Wie via de I-15 rijdt mag niet vergeten dat ze via deze weg een woestijn oversteken en kunnen maar beter een grote hoeveelheid water meenemen, vooral op warme zomerse dagen kan de temperatuur oplopen tot 48 graden Celsius.
Southern Californians crowd Interstate 15 every weekend going back and forth to Vegas. Expect this drive to be crowded and frustrating, unless you can come and go at off-peak hours. However, many find the 280-mile drive along the I-15 restful and scenic. Attractions along the I-15 include the towns of [[Barstow]], California; [[Baker]], California; the Mojave Desert; and small hotel-casinos at [[Primm]], Nevada (at the California border) and [[Jean]], Nevada. Those who traverse the I-15 should remember that they are crossing a desert, and should carry (and drink) ample amounts of water, especially on hot summer days where temperatures can reach 120 degrees F (48 degrees Celsius).

===Per monorail===
[edit] By public transit
De '''Las Vegas Monorail''' (Tel.: +1 702 699-8200) loopt langs de oostkant van The Strip en stopt aan verschillende hotels en aan het Las Vegas Convention Center, de prijs bedraagt $5 (enkel), $9 (heen en terug) en $15 (dagpas). Wie gehaast is kan echter beter een taxi nemen. De monorail kan tot 4.000 personen tegelijkertijd vervoeren.
The Las Vegas Monorail, +1 702 699-8200, runs on the east side of the strip with stops behind several of the hotels and at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It costs $5 one-way, $9 return and $15 for a one-day pass. Do the math before boarding, it could be cheaper for a small group to take a taxi. Because the monorail stops at the back entrance of the hotels, it takes a long time to wind through the maze of casinos, often taking 30 minutes to an hour to get from one point to another on the Strip - if you're in a hurry take a taxi. The monorail's carrying capacity of 4000 people per hour is woefully insufficient to handle the evening exodus from the larger conventions which have as many as 150,000 attendees. If you are visiting with a friend from Nevada and want to ride the monorail, consider asking them to buy your fare. By showing a Nevada State ID or Clark County Sheriffs Card (issued to all hotel employees) they qualify for the locals fare of $1, this can be purchased from the customer service booths located at each station.
De stadsbussen, aangeduid met '''Citizens Area Transit''' ('''CAT'''), (Tel.: +1 702 228-7433), heeft 49 lijnen door de vallei. De meeste lijnen rijden elke dag tussen 5:30 AM en 1:30AM, sommigen rijden 24/24. Prijs: $1.25 (volwassenen) en 60¢ (kinderen en ouderen). Tickets voor The Deuce, een Londense dubbeldekkerbus kost $2 (volwassenen) en $1 (kinderen en ouderen), direct te betalen aan de chauffeur.
The city bus line, Citizens Area Transit (CAT), +1 702 228-7433, operates 49 routes throughout the valley. Most routes operate 5:30AM-1:30AM everyday. Some routes operate 24 hours. The fare is $1.25 for adults and 60¢ for kids and seniors for all residential routes. The Deuce, the London-style double decker bus operating the route along Las Vegas Blvd, costs $2 for adults and $1 dollar for children and seniors, and the fare may be paid directly to the driver. If purchasing a child or senior fare, be prepared to show some form of picture ID to prove your age to the driver. During the larger connventions (Such as CES, NAB, and MAGIC) the Duece also opperates on a special one way service from the Las Vegas Convention Center. This Service only opperates in the afternoon from the convention center to the Strip, the bus travels southbound and services all regular stops from Circus Circus onward. It is important to note that when using this service, tickets must be purchased in advance from the ticket vending machines (located in front of the north and south halls). In addition, 2 additional ticket vending machines are loacted on the strip, one at the Slots-of-fun/Circus Circus stop and one at the Showcase Mall/MGM Grand stop. It should be noted that when purchasing your fare, the busses do not give change. However, the ticket vending machines do give change, inaddition to accepting credit/debit cards. Also it should be noted that CAT buses no longer offer transfer slips that allow you to change buses without paying the fare again, this has been replaced by a residential day pass ($2.50 for adults and $1.25 for kids and seniors) that covers all routes except The Deuce, and an "all-access pass" for $5 that covers all routes on the system. If you try to use a residential pass on the Deuce it will cost 50¢ per ride. If you will be staying for a long period of time (at least 8 days for adults or 4 for children and seniors) and plan to buy an All access pass, a more economic option is to purchase a 30 day bus pass. These can be purchased from either of the two bus terminals (Both can be reached by riding the Deuce to Downtown terminal, or to the South Strip Terminal), or from any ticket vending machine. It is important to note however, that if you would like to purchase a child or senior fare pass, you will need to do so from the customer service agent at the terminals, inorder to purchase a reduced fare pass from the vending machines one must first insert a reduced Fare ID card before the option will appear. These passes are valid from the first use then for 30 day after and can be used on all routes. If the buses are crowded a good way to avoid waiting for the next bus is to walk one block east from the strip and use route number 108 - Paradise Road or walk one block west to Industrial Road and use route number 105 - Martin L King Blvd / Koval - which mirrors the strip route.
Unfortunately the Monorail and CAT bus are separate and a pass from one won't work on the other.
Zowat de makkelijkste manier om zich te verplaatsen in Las Vegas is per taxi, het is relatief goedkoop om op deze manier van hotel naar hotel te gaan. De chauffeurs zijn verplicht om de kortste weg te nemen. Er is een toeslag voor ritten van/naar de luchthaven, maar niet voor extra passagiers. De taxi's staan aan de achterkant van de hotels want het is verboden om taxi's te laten stoppen op The Strip. Het is gebruikelijk om de taxichauffeur een fooi van $1 te geven.
===Per huurauto===
[edit] Taxi
Op de luchthaven kan men ook een auto huren, relatief goedkoop en gemakkelijk. Bedenk dat de prijs snel oploopt als men altijd een taxi neemt. Rijden op de drukke Strip kan echter zeer frustrerend zijn. In het weekend lopen de parkings ook snel vol.
One of the easiest ways to get around is by taxi. It is relatively cheap to go from hotel to hotel. The cab driver is required to turn on the meter and to take the shortest route to your destination. There is a surcharge for rides originating at the airport, but not for extra passengers. Taxi lines (queues) are typically found at the front of hotels. You would be unwise to attempt to hail one on the street, especially on the Strip as it is illegal for a cab to stop traffic to pick up or drop off a passenger. The best way to hail a cab outside of a cabstand is to use the following method: if you are wanting to go north on the strip, stand on the east side about 20 feet before a turn off. The cab you want to wave over will have the yellow lights off. Standing like this allows the cab to turn off the road and pick you up. It is customary to tip the hotel taxi dispatcher $1, and to pay the cab driver $1 for every 3 minutes you ride in the cab (on top of the the cost on the taxi meter), and about a $1 per piece of luggage.
[edit] By rental car
Renting a car at McCarran International Airport is fairly cheap and popular. The opening of the new rental car facility has increased the wait time to get your car. All the rental agencies are now located under a single roof and all use the same shuttle from the airport to the facility. There have been reports of an extra 30 min increase in the time it takes to pick up and/or drop off your vehicle, so please add this to any arrival and departure times so you won't be late for anything important. Expect to pay about 50% more for your car rental due to recent tax increases.
If you mostly plan to hang around one casino and your time in Vegas is short, you might want to fore go a rental car altogether and just take taxis. On the other hand, taxi fares add up quickly, and with car rental so cheap, anyone staying a few days or longer would be better suited with the flexibility of a car. Not to mention that some of the best sights are located outside of Las Vegas and virtually require driving to. There are numerous car rental offices on the Strip, and therefore it is very easy to rent a car from your hotel for a day trip. Remember to rent ahead of time as it can be busy during the weekends.
Driving on Las Vegas Boulevard (the "Strip") on Thursday or Friday nights or all day Saturday is an exercise in frustration: gridlock takes over and you can spend an hour or more just going a couple of miles. Do what the locals do and avoid driving long distances on the Strip altogether. Instead take I-15, which parallels the Strip, and get off at the exit nearest your hotel and park there.
Casinos have low cost self-parking (often free for guests) as well as valet parking. On Friday and Saturday nights the self-parking lots fill up fast; consider splurging on the valet to avoid cumbersome delays and endless circling around.
