I am in Las Vegas today and I was given a valuable tip when I arrived at the airport. Because the airport is such a short drive from the strip, most people use taxis, which means the line for taxis is often extremely long (especially on certain days of the week). You can avoid that line by hiring a porter from the luggage area – even if you only have a couple of bags. A few bucks to the porter can save a very long wait in line because they take you to your own line with only one or two other people (who also used porters) in it.
