Getting around from TI with no car

Hey guys! Just a little curious from those in the know: We are staying at TI in a few weekends and not planning on renting a car. It seems like most of the strip can be covered via walking, taxi, or monorail. How many have experience being carless on the strip, and is there any good advice?

Also, on the same topic, one thing we are worried about is making it from TI to Bellagio for the O early evening show. Any advice on what time to get to Bellagio, and even better, how to get there?

Getting around from TI with no car

Gator-

While I%26#39;m no local expert like some on here, I have been to Vegas upwards of 10-15 times and have stayed at TI a few times. If your not planning any %26#39;side%26#39; trips outside of Vegas, your probably better off w/o a car. The hassle of sitting in traffic going from one casino to another doesn%26#39;t seem worth it. You can walk everywhere, or you can easily grab a cab (at casinos only) or the monorail if need be. Half the fun, to me, is walking the strip, going through the casinos and seeing how amazing they are- obviously, you don%26#39;t get that sitting in a car. To your point, don%26#39;t worry about a car (get a cab or limo from the airport to TI- cab will run you $15-$20 w/ tip), walk the strip, and just allow time to get places (lots of people to manuever around). If it were me, I%26#39;d allow 1 hr. to get to Bellagio, get your tickets, etc.

Have fun

I wouldn%26#39;t bother with a car staying at TI unless you%26#39;re thinking about heading out to the Dam or something similar. You can easily walk to Mirage, CP, Bellagio, Venetian, Paris and others. Its probably a $10 cab ride to the far south end of the strip is you want to check Mandalay Bay and the other hotels at that end.

We went to O about a year ago - its fantastic. We arrived an hour early and that was more then enough. I%26#39;d probably take a cab from TI for the show. It should only be about $5.

Gator,

You can walk from TI to Bellagio, but if your wife is going to be all dressed up for the performance and wearing new or high heeled shoes take a cab or rent a limo.

VM - the wife%26#39;s dress up shoes were a good amount of the concern! :)

Thanks for the advice all, I appreciate it!

I%26#39;m not much help on the question you have however

wanted to let you know that TI is a great location and

the rooms are done really nice (especially the suites)

We stayed at TI 3years ago and walked to the Monte Carlo

2 doors down and then took the monte carlo monorail system

to the Bellagio.

Hope this helps.

You can purchase a day pass for the bus for $5 dollars a piece. It is good for 24 hours from purchase time. TI is great! You are right next door to The Fashion Show Mall if you need any other clothing. Cabs are great, but remember theres a lot of traffic at night time. Alow for it. Better to stand and wait at the theatre than sitting in a cab or bus wondering ';will we make it';. Enjoy yourselfs.
