A more complete list of your transportation options may be found on the airport web site -- www.mccarran.com. If you're on a tight budget, you can get a shuttle to the hotel for as little as $4, but it may take you an hour or more, because of the wait to catch a shuttle and because drivers seem to like to drop off passengers at the strip hotels first and hit the Residence Inn, Hughes Center on the way back to the airport. [Although I personally find the shuttle services adequate for transportation from the airport to the hotel, I would advise caution about using them for the return trip; they seem to have trouble keeping their promises about when they will pick you up at a hotel.] 2. Whether you take a taxi or a shuttle (or ask for instructions to drive a rental car), it is _critically_ important that you include the "Hughes Center" part when saying where you want to go; there is another, older Residence Inn further from the airport. If there appears to be any confusion about your destination, you might want to add that it is near the corner of Paradise and Flamingo. -Kurt At 09:49 AM 7/2/2002 +0100, John Reid wrote: >Dear WG5, > >I have received the following advice from the hotel: > > The best form of transportation is to take a taxi from the airport to > the hotel.
