Las Vegas Rock'n'Roll Half- Marathon
This takes place on Sunday 22nd February. This is important for two reasons:
1) The Strip closes on Sunday afternoon so it can be harder to get to the airport. Keep that in mind when booking flights.
2) Abby will be running - if you want to join her click the button below to register
Getting Around
From the Airport:
The airport to casinos on the strip is a flat fee depending on which one. Overall it ends up being similar to Lyft/Uber with the advantage that it's just outside the airport. So that would be the recommended way to get from the airport to the hotel.
Around the strip:
You can walk a lot of it but the distances are really big. It may not look like it on a map but getting from one resort to the other is very hard!
Around Las Vegas:
Lyft or Uber are probably your best bet. You can take taxis too but they will be metered at that point and your mileage may vary.
Excursions:
You can rent a car from most casinos on the strip who have agreements with rental companies.
