Best way to get to the Orleans

What is a good way to get there with out a car and with out a fancy phone to use the uber/lyft technology.
Thanks for any help

 

From where, what is your starting point?

 

well, from Florida I usually take a plane, and then Uber/Lyft

 

I would get in a cab and tell them to the Orleans please

 

Sorry I guess that would be useful McCarran Apt.

 

OK, we've taken Uber/Lyft off the table and you don't have a rent-a-wreck.

So, now we're down to Taxis and Shuttles

Super Shuttle (Shared) runs $11/one way...private runs $49 from McCarran to Orleans.

Might wanna look at this: http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/free-shuttle.php

Depends on how you define 'best'. Cost - comfort - time, etc.

We've used this : https://www.belllimousine.com/ and this: https://www.showtimetourslv.com/AirportShuttle for our trips. I know some people don't like shuttles, but I just flew four hours to get here so another thirty minutes to get to the hotel is not gonna kill me.

and finally this guy: https://www.worldtaximeter.com/las-vegas/mccarran+airport/the+Orleans+hotel+las+vegas

 

Thank you very much it looks like a Taxi is about the same price as the shuttle (hopefully) according to estimate, and as always depending on driver.

 

Make sure the taxi doesn't long haul you. From McCarran to the Orleans don't let the cabbie take the airport tunnel route to the freeway, that's the long-hauled route. Make sure the taxi takes Swenson to Tropicana and then left on Tropicana to the Orleans.

 

Tell the cabbie you are headed to Orleans and the sign (the sign) says about 18$ via Tropicana. Can that be right?
You say this as he takes your bag but you are still holding onto it. Go from there.
Also put the taxi authority # in your phone and if agregious hit dial. If 1 or 2$ off. So be it. Margin of error.
I always told them straight up I was on a budget so the more that went to the meter the less I had for the driver. Never went over as he / she has a bit of control.
Don't try it on the wax as it is 2$ or walking. They don't budge.
I hate the cab hassle. It's like buying a car......ugh. Except the cab has no manager to go run the numbers by.

 

Thank you guys again this awesome info. This is the main reason I started renting cars just to avoid Taxis but we are not planning on doing much driving do to a recent surgery or would
have once again drove all the way from Ohio, because I also don't like flying. Yeah I have Issues!!!

 

We took Uber and it was $15

 

Okay, I gotta ask: Did you really try to haggle a $2 fare with a city bus driver?

 

No. I smile and say how's it going? Shove 2$ in the slot And say thanks for the ride when I get to 4th and Freemont (or close).

 

WAX bus to NYNY, transfer to the local westbound on Trop.
