Las Vegas Airport Transfers

McCarran International Airport is Las Vegas Airport, which is located in the town of Paradise, 8 kilometres outside of Las Vegas.

After a long flight you will probably want to get to your hotel as soon as possible to get some rest before heading out to explore "Sin City". The fastest and most comfortable way to get to your accommodation is to travel in a shared or private transfer - choose the one that suits you best!

1. Shared return transfer

After hours of flying, you're likely to feel exhausted and jet-lagged when you arrive in Las Vegas. The last thing you want to do is to have to walk around the airport terminal where you land carrying your bags and queue for a long time to get a free taxi to take you to your hotel at an exorbitant rate.

So the best idea is to book a shared transfer to your hotel in Las Vegas where you'll travel in modern, fully-equipped vehicles with comfortable seats where you can rest and recuperate during the journey. They also have plenty of space for your luggage.

By booking this service, you will be picked up at the airport upon arrival along with the rest of the passengers and dropped off at the door of your hotel after a smooth ride by a team of professional drivers who know the city of Las Vegas inside and out.

If you're on a tight budget, this is an option that can be very economical and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Instead of sharing transport with other travellers landing in Las Vegas to go to your hotel, if you are looking for a more personalised service just for you and your group, another interesting option to consider is to book a private luxury transfer where you will have a vehicle equipped with all the comforts at your disposal waiting for you at the exit of the terminal to pick you up.

The great advantage is that you will have the assistance of a driver who will help you with your luggage to take you to your hotel without waiting or unnecessary stops along the way, for a better price than other transport options such as a taxi or an Uber. This will save you having to walk around the airport looking for a free car and loading your luggage, so you'll get to your destination in no time!

As soon as you know your flight details to Las Vegas you can book online a transfer from the airport to your hotel.

At the time of booking you will need to indicate the number of passengers who will be using the service and the date of the transfer. You will also be asked for the name of the airline, the flight identification number and the destination address.

In this way, the transfer operator in Las Vegas will have real-time information about your flight and will be able to monitor it in order to inform the driver of any unforeseen event or delay that may occur so that he can wait for you at the corresponding departure gate.

When you land and have collected your luggage, the transfer driver will meet you and your party at the arrivals terminal and place your luggage in the luggage compartment before departing for your hotel.

The big difference between a private transfer versus shared or public transport is that it is the most comfortable and fastest option to get to your hotel in Las Vegas as soon as possible because you will go directly from the airport to your hotel and you will not have to make unnecessary stops, nor share the vehicle with anyone else or wait for other passengers.

In addition, the chauffeur will give you exclusive attention. On the other hand, the price is usually higher than a shared transfer, which is cheaper.
