When we pick up our Avis car at McCarran are we able to pick one from a row or do they give you keys at the desk?
Last time I was nearly in tears after the hard sell at the desk to try to get us to buy extra cover and upgrade, then when we got to the rank they just said take any car in that row....0 -
Usually just pick from the row of cars in your category. That’s been our experience in the recent past.0

Guess I should have introduced myself before answering the quiz.
I love Vegas, went for a weekend in the early 90s, then went in 2012, have been back every year since, sometimes twice. We go to play poker and all the other games, enjoy at least one show per trip and generally relax and spend time in the sun. Hoping to go again at the end of April, still waiting for perfect flight price for 11-14 nights, usually stay on strip and vary hotel depending on comps being offered.0
