Fly in to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). LAS is one of the busiest airports in the country and often experiences crazy wind in the spring. Please plan accordingly and fly in early enough with a buffer in case of delays.
Flight pricing is dynamic and often best booked between 6-3 months out from flying.
Taxis have flat rates from the airport to your hotel, it's often way cheaper than uber/lyft.
If you want to drive, that's a bold choice and probably will cost more than flying but do it if you want adventure! All of the hotels have self parking that is often $20+ per day.
