Do you know the average cab fare from the stratosphere to the strip in las vegas?|136403

I am traveling to las vegas this weekend and I have always stayed at the MGM. I was considering saving some money and staying at the stratosphere. Will the amount of money I spend on cab fares to get to the main part of the strip outweigh the money saved with staying at the stratosphere? Basically trying to be economical but if I am not really going to save money I will probably stay at the MGM. Thanks for any help!

You can still save money without having to worry about transportation. the cheapest fare for Stratosphere that I see from Fri-Sun is $244.82 for 2 nights. That is more than $100/night.

Excalibur is located across from MGM Grand, so you will be in the same location and the total price for a standard room for Fri and Sat night is $282.31, which is only $40 more than Stratosphere.

But if you want to stick to Stratosphere, you can either use the _Deuce_ and pay $5 for an all-day pass to go up and down the strip, or you can walk to Sahara and use their Monorail station for transportation. 3 days on the bus is $15, 3 days on the monorail is $28.
Good Luck!

I_ve stayed at the Stratosphere and really loved it. The pool and spa was great and the kingsize bed was absolutely comfortable . The tower at night was awesome and we had a great meal there. We didn_t get a cab down to the strip and it would depend how far down you want to go for the price. We got on the bus and I_m sure a cab would take just as long getting down the strip as the bus.

The Stratosphere hotel is on the Vegas strip (the North part) You don_t need a cab to get to the central strip. What you will need is a day-pass on the deuce (bus) which will pick you up in front of Stratosphere drop you off on any part of the strip.

I think the cab fare is more than $7. why not get a multiday pass on the Las Vegas monorail which you can pick up at the Sahara hotel which is close to the Stratosphere. The monorail goes to the MGM and all the hotels in between.

The Stratosphere is way away from the main Strip casinos and not an area you want to walk at night. Stay at the MGM and have better access.

From the Stratosphere to center strip is about 7$ fare. Its only about 2 miles.

The bus during the day a cab after 9pm.
