2 questions on taxi fares

We thinking of going to ricks restorations and the neon grave yard

1. If I got to down town then caught a taxi to the neon grave yard it world be cheaper then getting a taxi from the Excalibur hotel .
On a sim theme if we went to The STRAT and got a taxi to ricks if world be cheaper then from the Excalibur . Hope that make sence.

 

Yes to both questions.

 

Thank you that what I thought

 

Not sure why a taxi would (world?) be cheaper to go from Excalibur to downtown and then from downtown to Ricks. There is a charge as soon as you get into a taxi so it would be cheaper to go from Excalibur to Ricks or the Neon Graveyard rather than taking 2 different taxis.

 

Sorry did not make myself clear

For gave yard I world catch the Duce bus and go down town then catch the taxi from there and for ricks I world catch the mono rail get off at the end of the line and walk to the strat then catch the taxi from there .

 

Got it, yes it would be cheaper from downtown. I think Ricks is by the outlet mall downtown and I think it is about $20 each way from the mid strip hotels.

 

No prob my mistake I should have made myself clear in the first place

 

For taking the monorail and then walking to Stratosphere you might as well take a taxi: the monorail is going to cost you $10 to get from MGM to The Sahara/SLS stop whereas a taxi will cost about $8-10 (taxi will actually be more than that but thats the drop fee which you would have to pay at Stratosphere anyhow).

For taking The Deuce from Excalibur to Downtown: if you do that you will save about $15 versus just taking a taxi from Excalibur... however the tradeoff is you will be giving up about an hour to hour and a half of vacation time to save that $15. Personally when I am on vacation I'd rather have an extra hour of vacation time than worry about saving a couple of bucks.

 

Yes very true . The mono rail we have a 7 day pass which I have got able ticket for .

 

Check the schedule for the WAX-- it only runs about every 50 min--but it would be preferable to the Deuce to get DT from the Ex. Board on Tropicana Blv next to NYNY--$2, about 20 min to DT.

 

thanks all
