Some tips for folks traveling to Las Vegas

Getting Here

We are excited for you to join us! Here are some tips for getting to Las Vegas and traveling the city:

  • Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). The airport is just southeast of the Strip and offers flights on all the major airlines

  • From the airport, you can either rent a car (by taking the rental car shuttle bus) or there are plenty of rideshares like Uber or Lyft. Avoid renting from Fox - you will have to take a second shuttle to the most inconvenient part of town to get your car

  • If you are on the strip, walking is a good way to get around. Just remember to leave extra time, because the pedestrian bridges take longer than you expect!

  • Parking is available at Lotus House for those that wish to drive. But we would love it if you didn’t drive and instead enjoyed our open bar!

  • Be mindful of road construction - Formula 1 is a month later and repairs may cause significant delays getting on and off the Strip
