How far is the Luxor hotel from the airport?

Is it walkable? or is a cab worth getting?





we'll be touching down about 6.30pm in feb 2010 will it be too cold to walk?





Thanks people xxHow far is the Luxor hotel from the airport?
Sorry it's not walkable. Everything in Vegas is huge and although the hotels look close, the distance is not.





Don't recommend the cab beause they're known for taking the longer route. If you do have to take a cab, tell the cab drive NOT to take the tunnel. Just lie and say you're clausterphobic.





When you get to the curb, there's tons of shuttles for less than what cab fare you would pay.





I used to take the limo service. That was only $5 per person and a tip.





Luxor is only a few minutes away from the airport.





Personally, I found out many years ago that renting a car was not only cheap but really convenient and nice to have. The fee per day is less than what you'd pay for the monorail, trolley service and /or cabs in a day. Dollar is the best. Open 24 hours and they have pickup and drop off service. They are totally reliable! Been using them for over 12 years!How far is the Luxor hotel from the airport?
You could walk it but it would be a very miserable walk, especially if you had luggage. It's very hot and dusty between the strip and the airport.





So any kind of air conditioned transportation is definitely worth the small amount you pay for that short of a distance.





If you type in mccarran airport into google maps and you can quickly see the route you would take.
The Luxor is very close to the airport - it is a three mile drive. The taxi fare will cost between $12 and $15 dollars depending on the traffic.





Walking would be miserable and potentially dangerous.





The shuttle costs $6 per person and it stops at Mandalay Bay and Excalibur first. So it will take much longer than a cab. And if you are traveling with one other person, it'll cost about the same.





IMHO, it's better to get a cab.
Not a good walk. There are spots along the way that do not have sidewalks. The cheapest way would be to take a city bus. Go to this page and they explain how. Just click on the Bus button and there you can find the schedules. Once to the SSTT you catch the Deuce double decker bus that takes you along the strip. Tell the driver that you need the Luxor stop and he will tell you when to exit.
The Luxor is one of the first hotels on the strip coming from the airport. It's 3.2 miles from the airport about a 15 min ride in a cab. A cab fare will be about $13 or a shuttle for $6.





It's walkable but I will not recommend it.

3-4 miles from the airport. and it would be hard to walk this as it is not a direct route.


cab is maybe $10 with tip


shuttle is $7 look at the overhead signs to que for the shuttle.


bus is like $2,3 and there's lots and lots of stops.
walking is always possible anywhere; but not suggested you do that in this situation. Luggage, darkness, terrian, traffic,all serious negatives. Take a shuttle if cost is a factor. Cab would approximate $15 fare.
NOT walking distance take a taxi or bus but there should be a shuttle to Luxor
about 20 min
