Easy cab ride or take the 108 bus, which will drop you off a block from the Hard Rock, catch the 108 directly in front of the Hard Rock to go back to the airport. $2 each way, $5 for a 24hr pass. A cab ride would probably be $15 each way. The other option would be to take a cab probably to the MGM. Somebody else may have a better answer but that's my 2 cents.

No. I mentioned Hard Rock because it's going to be before Terrible's hotel and casino. Both are on the same street and a short walk if you decide to go to both. I guess it depends on the amount the wager is, because I am only assuming, but Hard Rock is probably going to be willing to accept higher wagers. If you take the 108 bus from the Airport, Hard Rock will be a block from the bus stop, and Terribles will be over a block from the bus stop at (Swenson Street/East Flamingo Road). Bus $2 one way, $5 24hrs. A cab ride will be around $15 to Terribles. More bus information: If you decide to go to Terribles or miss the Hard Rock stop, the bus will stop at Swenson/East Flamingo), from there you'll see Siegel Suites across the street, a Jack in the Box on the corner, and a bus stop will be located on the side of Jack in the Box if you decide to take it to Terribles or to the strip (stops beside Caesars Palace). If you stay on the bus past Caesars, you can go to the Palms, and Rio if you want. From the strip on the side of Bally's is the bus stop, catch that back to the Terribles stop, and transfers to the 108 stop at the gas station to go to the airport.

The bus stop to get back on the 108 to go to the airport is directly across the street from the LVH entrance located in front of the Courtyard-by-Marriott hotel. I keep focusing on the bus but if you intend to do a cab so be it. The cab ride would probably be close to $30 to the LVH. Cheers

If one is flying in just to place a wager, it must be a decent amount, considering airfare cost, and other expenses. I flew in once within a 24hr period. The only reason I could handle the flights was because it was Delta. I had a ticket that needed to be cashed at the Palms, so I took cab from the airport, placed my wager that I wanted (parlay Kansas Jayhawks and Miami Heat), met a friend to eat at the Palms, and I took a cab back to the airport. I never even went to my residence in Vegas. I caught the second half of the Kansas game on the flight and I knew I won my parlay before the flight landed back on the East Coast. If one is worried about extra travel cost, no matter how much your wager is, I think it's best just to take the 108 bus to the Las Vegas Hilton. Take the 108 back to the Airport, stop right at the Hard Rock if you need to take care of any other business, and head back to the airport when you need to. That gives you two decent places to wager at and eat at.

Tried online once and it is a bunch of crap trying to use money gram etc. and feeling sleazy trying to get my winnings. Fly down, bet big and snipe them legally.. The pay is instant and Feds and banks not on your behind. Can't believe that people can actually use offshore sites effectively.

You can mail back your ticket to get paid out if you hit. Youre welcome.

If I was flying to Vegas to place a wager, I won't mail my winning wager ticket in, because it'd most likely be a great deal of money. It's safe to assume that anybody that's flying to Vegas and leaving in a 24hr period intends to wager a large amount of money.
