Taxicabs, limos, shuttles and the public bus (CAT) run from the centrally located McCarran Airport to the Strip in 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. |

The Strip may look deceptively easy to walk, but remember: its three-mile length can be daunting, especially in the heat (this is the desert, remember). Most visitors get by with a combination of the monorail, taxicabs, shuttles, public buses (CAT) and walking. |
