Airports and Liquor Stores

[hug it out]

The limo suggestion is a good one. when you come down the escalator to pick up your checked baggage, the limo drivers are by the left exit, and the taxi line is to the right exit. You should be able to negotiate a limo ride for 7 people for $75 or under. Have the limo stop at a liquor store and you can run in to stock up.

Otherwise, if you take taxis, tell the taxi attendant that you need two taxis (ask for one of them to be a van). Have one taxi stop at the liquor store and the other one go straight to Monte Carlo. You should be able to stop at a liquor store and get to Monte Carlo for $20 or less (as long as you don't dick around in the liquor store). Also, there is a huge CVS pharmacy store right next to the Monte Carlo, so you can get any mixers or anything else you need there. (It may even sell booze??? I would call and find out. If CVS sells booze, you can just walk ten steps outside the Monte Carlo to get your stash).

I would go with what Vega$ say, I usually have good luck with negotiating with the Limo driver that are waiting for customers. I've never paid more than $80 an hour for a stretch limo. If not, taxi stand is not too far away.

Take a cab or a limo from the airport, it might be cheaper for the limo cuz there are so many of you. Also on the way from the airprot there is a CVS on pardise and harmon, right across from hard rock. They have the same prices as normal. There is also a liquor store south of mandalay and one on flamingo and audry, right behind bills.


Living in vegas i fly in and out of Mccarren at least 6 times are year to go home or other places. i have NEVER had a problem. I get there and hour or so before my flight (i have even gotten there 45 min before and still made it!) and go right past everything. BUT i never check bags. Be on the safe side and maybe get there 1.5 to 2 hours before your flight. Or earlier if you are Cisco cuz they will stop you for "random security checks" haha (love you Cisco!)

I would probably go to the CVS in the strip mall (on paradise) across the HRH like what justcole said. Once you are done, you can take Harmon or Tropicana west back to Monte Carlo.

So you never had trouble negotiating for limo service at the actual airport? How did you go about doing this, just go up to a random limo driver and ask if you could rent their service for an hour? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Just go up to them and ask how much it would be for 7 people for a limo with a stop at cvs then to Monte Carlo
