Which Casino Is Closest To Bellagio

It's about 3.5 miles from McCarran International Airport and Bellagio, one of the most famed casinos in Las Vegas located near the center of the Strip. The most common route between the two takes visitors west on Tropicana Avenue to the south end of the Strip and then north on Las Vegas Boulevard. You have several transportation options available to you for the journey.

Taxis

Probably the quickest way from the airport to Bellagio (bellagio.com), taxis line up outside the terminals waiting to transport customers to the Strip. If you grab a cab tell the driver you do not want to go via the interstate as many drivers practice what is called 'longhauling' in Las Vegas by taking you down Interstate 15 to locations on the Strip. This trip is longer and more expensive.

Car Rentals

All of the major car rental services offer cars at the airport. A shuttle will take you to a separate location on-site where you can rent a car. One advantage to having your own car is not only the freedom to explore the area, but also that you can park for free at the Bellagio or at any other casino's parking deck in the city. Valet service is also free, although gratuities are expected.

Shuttle Buses

Several companies offer shuttles that transport tourists to various casinos on the Strip and downtown, including the Bellagio. This is the cheapest way to get to casino row, but also the most time consuming, as you may have to wait for the bus to make multiple stops before it arrives at the Bellagio. The bus driver will load and unload your luggage. A small gratuity is customary.

City buses also run routes to and from the airport, but they tend to be packed (leaving little room for luggage) and you will likely have to transfer to another bus.

Limousines

Travel in style by renting a limousine for the trip between the airport and Bellagio. Options range from sedans to stretch limos and SUVs. You can rent a limo just for the short trip to mid Strip or to go out for hourly spins. This is the most expensive way to arrive at the home of the dancing water fountains, but you'll do it in the greatest style.
