Anyone who has never been to Las Vegas can’t imagine how huge these hotel are but I can’t imagine a 27 year old renting a scooter. We have stayed at the Mandalay Bay and I am sure it was a mile or more from our room to the convention center and that is all inside the Mandalay Bay. Forget walking down the street to the next huge hotel, forget waiting in the taxi line. Maybe there is a shuttle but it’s best to have a car and valet park if you want to see the other hotels on the strip. You will get enough exercise just doing that.
A car is really not a good idea either. The traffic on LV Boulevard is horrendous.
True story: Friends and I were staying at Mandalay Bay...two of them wanted to drive to the Sahara down the street. I and others said we’d walk. We who walked had to wait almost 45 minutes for our friends who drove.
