Parking in a major metropolitan city is never easy – and believe me, Las Vegas is no different! Although parking is free in and around the Strip it’s far from easy, so get ready to brave some seriously competition! Parking structures can be found all along Las Vegas Boulevard, including next to all of the more prominent resorts, but finding a spot anywhere near the entrance, well, that’s another story! The best stress reliever for parking woes is probably to take advantage of the valet services located throughout the city, most notably at restaurants, resorts, spas and casinos. Taxis are also available, but expect fares to be phenomenal. Parking is strictly forbid along the Strip, as well as any of the bordering thoroughfares. Stick to the free hotel parking. If you’re planning on traveling downtown simply stop in and park at anyone of the high-rise structures – your fee will be waived as long as you remember to get your parking stub validated by a casino cashier.
Finding your way around Las Vegas is really relatively easy, thanks to straightforward street layouts and easy to recognize names. The principal north-south artery through the city is obviously that of Las Vegas Boulevard, but if it’s possible to avoid taking it – don’t! The Strip is always overflowing with traffic, especially during the evening, so if you’re looking to cross the city in a hurry US Rent-A-Car recommends hooking up with I-15 (it runs parallel to Las Vegas Boulevard and is located just one mile west). Other parallel streets include Industrial Road and Paradise Road. Traffic along many of the east-west arteries can also become clogged during the late afternoon and evening, including Tropicana Avenue, Flamingo Road and Sahara Avenue. Patience is your best bet when traveling these streets so please; remember to leave at least 15 minutes early in order to insure an accurate arrival. If you’re planning on taking a road trip to neighboring California during your upcoming US Las Vegas Rent-A-Car vacation, DON’T DO IT ON THE WEEKEND! Travel times between California and Las Vegas literally double thanks to heavy traffic flow and tons of tourist travel.
Las Vegas is notorious for their poor driving conditions and endless road repairs, but don’t fret – it’s really not as bad as it sounds (most of the time!). Orange highway cones and detour signs are a common sight throughout the city, but rest assured that these routes are easy to navigate and amazingly more convenient than one would imagine. Since the city’s amazing boom of business back in the early 1990’s, Las Vegas has been scrambling to keep up with the influx of visitors, repaving roads and widening driveways at an alarming pace. The upside to this venture is still under construction, but future US Las Vegas Rent-A-Car travelers can rest assured that their stay in Sin city will be nothing but smooth sailing! One good thing about Las Vegas driving is that of the city’s signage – big bold street signs announce the arrival of every intersection early, ensuring safe lane changes and amazingly easy navigation. But beware – most of the city’s local drivers are far from courteous, so expect to experience plenty of abrupt lane changes, unsafe speeders and impolite parkers. Keeping your eyes open and your senses alert will help you better cope with out of control drivers, as well as peripheral distractions and the glaring bright light.
