Guys and Gals,

Whats the best way to get to Freemont after 8pm ish.... ie for the evening?

Does the deuce run? til late? Or is taxi time?

I know between strip and freemont can be a bit of a dodgy area so just want to get the best route

Quickest - taxi
Cheapest - Deuce / Normal bus

EDIT: As ferf says, the taxi can work out expensive late on. The other thing with the deuce, get a 24hr pass ($7 each) and you can use it again the next day if need be.

Agree with tingtong's assessment...but would note that a return taxi will probably run you $30-$40 that time of night based on our last trip.

Hi again all,

I am off to Vegas (flying to LA) at the end of the month, counting the days!

I haven't hired a car in the US for a good few years so am looking for any tips as to who to use. I note that CarHire3000 is mentioned a few times throughout this thread and their prices seem reasonable if they are all inclusive.

Any other recommendations other than Holiday Autos?

Thanks,

The Fremont street experience

We did CH3000 9 day rental Vegas to LA one way - compact upgraded to Sebring convertible - for £20 a day including insurance and a tank of petrol.

Make sure it states ONE WAY INCLUDED on your confirmation.

Maybe worth trying https://www.auto-europe.co.uk, they were cheapest for us last time around. We did not pay any extra fees for one-way, from SF to Vegas.

You can also get 8% cashback via quidco.

The Deuce runs 24 hours I'm almost certain, but obviously less frequently during the early hours.
