Which is the better option when arriving at Harry Reid at midnight and needing to get to Harrah's? Uber or taxi? Thanks for any/all tips.

i'm an idiot and can't read

Totally up to you.

Cost is going to be similar.

Taxi line is right there by luggage carousels and uber you have to go upstairs to a queue area and can get pretty busy as well.

Taxi drivers tend to be a little rougher and aren't shy about pressuring you to up your tip.

We were there for NFR and taxi ride was good. Right outside luggage area. Should run you about $20.

Thanks, all.

Uber in Vegas, never had a problem in the past 7-8 years.

I have had some interesting rides though.

• One dude had a side hustle if I was interested in going to a Gentlemen's Club.
• Another guy told me about going to Barn Parties in Marlin, TX when he was stationed at Fort Hood in the 1970s.
• And one Iranian dude in a Tesla Model 3 put the hammer down on I-15 and I finally got to experience that acceleration that every Tesla owner keeps bragging about.

I would take a taxi. I've walked to the garage for an Uber at Harry Reid and it was a warzone.

I try to support yellow cab when the rates are set

Taxi in, Uber out.

Last many times we have only taken Uber. Easy as we set it up as we are collecting bags and it has always been arriving as we arrive up in the waiting area. Good drivers, but we only use Uber Black.

I prefer to taxi in Vegas because they are usually at the front door of the Strip hotels vs having to walk to some remote location in a parking garage for Uber pickup, especially at Caesars.

Taxi. Way faster than Uber and usually a little cheaper.

Taxis…and it's not close

From the airport, I walk right into a taxi. The fees are set, and I've never had a problem with tipping. Once I get to the hotel, I Lyft or Uber everywhere, including back to the airport when it's time to leave Vegas.

This is the best strategy

As some have said, it depends on where you're going. If going to the Strip the taxi fares are all set in zones. The farther from the airport, the more it costs. If you're going downtown you're on the meter and you're probably better off ordering an uber. As I do carryon and stay downtown these days, I look at both Uber and Lyft as I'm walking off the plane and depending on price and wait time order one since I can gauge how long it takes me to walk to the pickup area.

If you're taking rideshare and don't need to go to baggage claim there's no need to go down to that level. Just take a left at the escalator that goes down to baggage and walk around to the sky bridge that takes you over to the pick up area.

If just going to the center strip or south strip, I agree Taxi will be faster. Usually a long line of cars waiting. Even if there is a line of people, it moves fast and orderly compared to the pen of obliviots that the rideshare area can be.

Just because I assume this group would know…

While my wife and I were waiting in the taxi line at Caesar's the guy in front of us leaned over and asked a limo driver (Cadillac Escalade) how much to drive to the airport. He then says to us his company is paying and asks if we want to hop in. I jumped. I asked him how much so I could split it but he says do not worry about it. I felt bad as we didn't have much cash (thanks Vegas) to really help with the tip. But m dying to know what the limo charged…any guesses?

$80-120
