GROUND TRANSPORTATION TO THE HOTEL

The Venetian Hotel Resort Casino is located 4 miles from McCarran International Airport.

Taxicabs: Taxicab is the most readily available form of transportation from the airport to hotel, but be prepared for possible long taxi lines. It is not unusual to wait 30-60 minutes in the taxi lines – they move fast, but are very long. The taxi fare is approximately $15-20 each way, before tip. Most Las Vegas taxicabs do not accept credit cards, so be prepared to pay with cash. Advise your taxi driver that you prefer to take local streets versus the expressway, as the local street route is more direct and less expensive.

Airport Shuttles: The Venetian does not offer its own shuttle service. There are hotel shuttle services available in Las Vegas, but note that they will stop at many hotels, making it a long ride. You may find further information on this link to shuttles that serve McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas: http://www.mccarran.com/03_shuttles_01.asp
