| mantic59 Member since: Nov 25, 2009 Threads: 3 Posts: 78 | I want to suprise my wife on our next Vegas trip by hiring a limo (or luxury town car) to go from the aiport to our hotel, instead of a cab or shuttle. Recommendations? I see Presidential mentioned a lot on other boards but...? |

Yeah, thought of that. But the hotel charges twice the going rate (our 1st stay at that hotel too so I don't know if my level of play will get a comp). |

| FarFromVegas Member since: Dec 10, 2010 Threads: 3 Posts: 271 | I hired Presidential for my sister and her husband when they went about 3 years ago. They enjoyed the ride so much they got the driver's card and called him to take them out to Rosemary's later that weekend. I think the big attraction is the champagne and roses more than anything. The cab line at the airport can make the lines at Disney World look short sometimes! The shuttle is okay if you have an amusing driver who gives you the tour as you go to the 58 million different stops to drop off passengers, or if you're the first stop. I had one driver who was exceedingly entertaining but just as equally disdainful of the traffic rules and One-Way "suggestion" signs on one shuttle.

Actually thats what most of the limo sites I've browsed do. Min. 1 hour rate even from airport to hotel. |

Yup. Use the extra time to stock up on snacks and drinks for your room in a store at a more reasonable price than mini-bar and hotel shop rates if you don't get comps on purchases within the hotel if you don't feel like cruising the Strip on the way.

I always stop between the airport and hotel for at a minimum a case of water and a good bottle of scotch. This way I can stock the room for the week while I have the luggage cart hauling the rest of my stuff up to the room. |

I know its hard to estimate things but why risk paying double on an off chance of getting comped? Hire the limousine yourself, have a side trip to a liquor store, have a tour of the town (which you might get anyway depending on cab driver if you had taken a taxi) and arrive in style. I don't know if arriving by limousine will flag your players card or anything, doubt it would hurt you though. |
