Scooter Rental safe in Las Vegas?

Thought about renting one while there to hit some places I want to visit without renting a car.

I imagine drunk driving is happening in the MASS there.

Is it safe? Probably. Would I do it? No thanks. Aside from the blazing sun and freezing nights, Vegas has some aggressive drivers.
They have no problem cutting off a car of equal or greater size. A scooter would bring new meaning to defensive driving.

As for drinking and taking a spin. Not really a problem if you are on the strip. How much damage can you do at 10mph?

no way would I get a scooter either.... especially if your going to drive it on the strip traffic is a nightmare at all hrs

BigBet......... If I rented one in The Bahamas, didn't know my way around, and had to keep remembering to stay in the OTHER lane compared to here, I think you'll be safe in Vegas.........

We rented one in Jamaica. I think if I drove there, Vegas shouldn't be a problem! ha

I had one for awhile when I lived there, pretty decent way to get around in city traffic, but renting one might be more $ than a car.

Your going to be THAT guy :lolBIG:

One thing I will add to try to be a bit helpful, I can only imagine that it would be HOT as hell riding around on a scooter. Personally id pay the extra bucks for a car/cab/bus

Are we talking about a Moped or a Rascal ?

Lazy Tourists Rent Mobility Scooters

Tuesday May 22, 2007
Mobility scooters come in many styles and designs but the point is the same - to allow people with disabilities the ability to get around and maintain their independence. You may be a bit shocked to learn of the latest craze. Lazy tourists are among the people who are renting and using mobility scooters. I'll admit this story caught my attention because it came out of Las Vegas and my husband and I moved to Las Vegas in 2001. Lazy tourists are forking over about $40 per day to rent a mobility scooter because, after all, it's a long walk down the Las Vegas Strip or from one end of a casino to the other end. The tourists may be saving their feet but what about their pride? Some people are offended by the story of the lazy but healthy tourists using mobility scooters intended for people with physical limitations. Others claim you can't see certain invisible illnesses, therefore judging the person is wrong.
Since I live in Las Vegas, I wish I could say I've never seen it happen. If you live in Vegas, you've seen it all. So, yes, there are young women with 4 inch spikey heels, cell phone in one hand, a yard of margarita in the other hand - and they are using a mobility scooter! Go figure.
In Vegas, I see people with obvious disabilities struggling to walk, but walking with pride. I see other disabled people who would love to get out of their mobility scooter and walk until their feet hurt - but they can't walk. These people are blessed with inner strength and indestructible spirit.
Since businesses don't require a prescription or medical explanation before renting a mobility scooter, it seems nothing is illegal here. It does seem to me that having a conscience now ranks below self-indulgence. Is this as bad as healthy people using handicapped parking spots? Perhaps it's even worse? What is your opinion?
