Vegas, Baby... Vegas! But How Do I Ditch the Airport?
Congratulations! You've just landed in Sin City, ready to trade in your airplane peanuts for a buffet that would make Augustus Gloop blush. But hold on to your fascinator, because first things first: how do you escape the clutches of McCarran International Airport (affectionately nicknamed "The Shark" by locals... because it tries to swallow your wallet whole)?
Fear not, fellow adventurer! Unlike Elvis on stage, your ride out of here won't be leaving the building anytime soon. In fact, you've got a legion of Lyfts at your fingertips, ready to whisk you away from the land of overpriced souvenirs and questionable impersonators.

| Can You Get Lyft At Las Vegas Airport |
Ditch the Taxi Queue, Hail a Lyft!
Let's be honest, those taxi lines can make a Cirque du Soleil performance look speedy. With Lyft, you can ditch the queue and request a ride with just a tap on your phone. Plus, no more awkward conversations about the weather with a driver who's seen it all (and probably wishes he hadn't).
Pro Tip: Download the Lyft app before you land. Wi-fi at airports can be a fickle beast, and you don't want to be stuck playing musical chairs with random outlets while your luggage waltzes off on a solo adventure.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Finding Your Lyft at LAS: Easier Than Spotting a Fountain of Bellagio Dollars
Gone are the days of wandering the airport like a lost showgirl. Lyft has designated pick-up zones at McCarran, so you won't be chasing around confused tourists with suitcases. Just follow the app's instructions, and your chariot (okay, maybe a Prius) will be waiting to take you on your Vegas victory lap.
Insider Info: Don't be that guy (or gal) waiting curbside. Lyft pickups happen in designated areas outside the terminal. The app will show you exactly where to go.
Splitting Fares with Your Vegas Crew? Lyft's Got Your Back (and Your Wallet)

No more awkward fumbling for cash or passive-aggressive Venmo requests later. Just split the cost in the app, and everyone can focus on what really matters: conquering the blackjack tables (or at least that epic buffet).
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
But Wait, There's More! Lyft offers different ride options to suit your needs and budget. Need a luxurious ride to start your high-roller night off right? Select Lyft Lux. Traveling with a whole entourage? Lyft XL is your friend.
