Ways to Get from the Vegas Airport to the Bellagio Hotel

When you arrive at McCarren International Airport, you'll need to find a way to get from your gate to your hotel. There are a few methods to get to the Bellagio from the airport, and each has its own advantages and drawbacks, which generally come down to price and time constraints.

Taxi

Taxi cabs are the main way tourists in Las Vegas get from point A to point B. The airport charges a small surcharge for taxi fares, and each cab has a base fee of about $3.30. By the time you travel to the hotel, the fare will come to around $14.22.
With cabs in Las Vegas, it is important to note that no taxi cab is allowed to take more than five people, so even if you get a minivan, larger parties will need to separate.

Shuttle

Shuttles from the airport to the strip run throughout the day and stop at all major hotels. Tickets are around $6. When riding a shuttle, timing can be an issue, as there may be long lines to board shuttles and many stops en route to your hotel.

Rent a car

Renting a car will cost an average of about $50 a day in Las Vegas. Many hotels, the Bellagio included, offer free self-parking in their massive parking garages. The downside of renting a car is that you will rarely need to travel far; most visitors stay on the strip throughout their stay.

Walk

Located 3.8 miles away from the airport, it would be possible to walk to the Bellagio. With summer temperatures reaching upwards of 100 degrees and winter weather often involving flash floods, it is advisable to skip the walk though.
