As long as you don't mind stopping at everyone else's hotel before getting to your final destination. A cab will run you about $15-$17 center strip and a couple of dollars less for the south. Couldn't tell you what downtown runs from McCarran. If you take a taxi, stay away from the tunnel. Koval can be your friend.
WHO after you pick up your bags at baggage claim you go outside the doors of baggage claim or follow the signs to shuttles...there are tons of them ...and you pay at the window for that shuttle , just pick any I have ridden most of them they are pretty much all the same they stop at 3-4 hotels as they are going to yours
, tell them the hotel your going to and they tell you what shuttle to get on ..its easy man , have fun
Shuttles are very easy to spot. When you are going down the escalator to baggage claim go left to the "ground transportation, shuttles" exit doors. Just out side of the sliding glass doors you'll find a kiosk that sells the tickets (they actually look more like a casino chip, but they are plastic). The person behind the counter will tell you what shuttle to jump on depending on what hotel you are staying at. Prices: $5.00 for the Strip (including the Rio, and Palms etc), and $7.00 for Downtown.
BTW, taxis a everywhere, super easy and convienent.
Before you fly out, don't forget to go to your local Walgreens or Drugstore and pick up all your TRAVEL SIZE stuff (toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, hair gel, etc) from the travel section. Place all of these item in a Zip Lock bag.
On Tuesday, September 26, we adjusted the ban on liquids, gels, and aerosols.
Air travelers may now carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints.
With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter medicines, baby formula and breast milk, and other essential liquids, gels, and aerosols, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint.
Please keep in mind that these rules were developed after extensive research and understanding of current threats. They are intended to help air travelers bring essential toiletries and other liquids, gels and aerosols for short trips. If you need larger amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols such as toothpaste or shampoo, please place them in your luggage and check them with your airline.
Please note that some liquids, gels and all lighters are currently prohibited. The list of prohibited items is here.

listen if your going to go to anywhere on the strip either take a taxi $20 or less or a "limo"...(glorified lincoln continential) for $35-40...if u think waiting in a taxi line is bad wait till u try riding a shuttle bus that goes about 15 mph and stops at every hotel/casino and does not move well in traffic...it will make u wanna jump out and drag your luggage down the strip to ur hotel.
If you arrive during rush time like Fridays, you will not enjoy the ride through the gridlock streets like Las Vegas Blvd as the shuttle stops at 3 or 4 or 7 Casinos before you reach your destination. Perhaps you arrived on Thursday but I would rather pay the extra $ 10 and get to my Hotel fast.... The Cab driver is going to only make one stop... Your Hotel ! My least favorite thing to do in this world is sit in a hot stuffy shuttle caught up in Las Vegas Gridlock on a Friday afternoon !
