Whether you are in Vegas for business or pleasure, you'll want to cruise the Las Vegas Strip in your own vehicle, to ensure you can explore all of Sin City at your own pace. The McCarran International Airport (LAS) is a convenient place to pick up your rental car. With keys in hand, take I-515 south to US-93 for a stop at a famous area engineering marvel, the Hoover Dam, before making your way back into the city.

Key Facts

I-15 and US-95 are the two major roads that cross through the downtown area of Las Vegas. Just outside of the city, I-215 connects these two freeways. As you make your way from one end of Las Vegas Boulevard to the other, you'll be amazed by all the themed hotels, restaurants and attractions. Just outside of town is the Red Rock Canyon National Park, where you can visit the park's museum or hike through the beautiful sandstone hills. You’ll find this area is rich in flora and fauna, and you might even catch a glimpse of a roadrunner.

Hints and Tips

When your flight leaves the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), you'll fly a little over three hours before landing in Las Vegas. Head to the baggage claim area on the ground floor to pick up your rental car.
