If you are going to go to Las Vegas make sure you know what you need to do when you arrive. This is a very busy airport with many flights all day and night. You want to make the arragements you need to get to your hotel ahead of time. I also suggest that you only carry on luggage. If you have to take a cab, you need to know how to save money, same with renting a car.

When you are booking your flight to go to Las Vegas it is advisable to go ahead and book airport transportation. I don't know of any hotels in Las Vegas that offer an airport shuttle. You can get a privately owned shuttle for less than $15 per person round trip. You will need to make these arrangements before you leave. This is the best way to get from the airport in Las Vegas to the property you have booked. You can also catch a cab or take a bus, but they are less convenient.

I tell everyone that asks to pack as light as possible. You should only take a carry on. During peak times it can literally take ages to get your luggage if you check bags. You will also pay the airline for any checked baggage. If you just carry it on with you, not only do you save money, you save a lot of time.

If you don't listen to me and do take a cab then you need to choose between time and money. You can have your cab driver not take the tunnel, which will save money but take extra time, especially if the streets are busy. You can also have them take the tunnel which is much faster but will cost extra. Your decision weighs on time versus money.

If your insist on renting a car while you are there, then I would suggest Fox Rent-A-Cars. They are much cheaper because they are not in the airport, you have to take a shuttle to get there. They will save you money, but not time. I don't rent cars out there though, I use Pete and Charlie or I take a cab from place to place. There is also the mono rail and the busses. Then you have no worries when it comes to parking and traffic.

When ever you are landing in Vegas make sure you have a plan how you are getting from the airport to your hotel. Planning in advance can save you some money. The best way is to arrange for a shuttle and don't check bags, this will save time and money.
