Luxury Car Rentals and Tips and Tricks for Driving in Los Vegas

Driving to and around Las Vegas can take up more of your time than you may anticipate if you're not careful. Here are some tips to cut down the drive time and make your Exotic Car Rentals Las Vegas trip go smoothly.

Traffic

The first thing to be cautious of whenever you are visiting a new city is traffic. You don't want to spend your Exotic Car Rental Las Vegas trip stuck in traffic but if you're going on a weekend, you can pretty much expect to run into some. On an average weekend in Las Vegas however, the traffic is not too bad, but of course it will depend on when you are visiting. For instance, if you happen to be in Vegas the same time "Ocean's Eleven" was being filmed on the Strip, it's terrible. As for local driving, the best tip any local can give is not to drive on Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip). Use Paradise to the east and Industrial to the west as much as possible. Twenty-six miles of the 405 every day for a year is never as bad as Strip traffic on an early Friday night.

If your Exotic Car Rentals Las Vegas trip has you coming from the Los Angeles area, like many do, you can usually make it from L.A. to Vegas in about five hours. It'll be bumper to bumper around Barstow, but it'll clear up and you could end up going about 70 mph the rest of the way. Keep in mind that most visitors leave L.A. between Friday morning and very late Friday night, but everyone heads back to L.A. between noon and 8 p.m. on Sunday. The trip to L.A. is almost always slower than the trip to Vegas. If you can take Monday off and travel then, you'll be traffic free.

Keeping that in mind and knowing the best times and ways to get about, Las Vegas is an surprisingly easy 'to- get- out- of town, and the scenic highways around Las Vegas are breathtakingly beautiful and well worth a journey all on its own. Lots of new car commercials are filmed in the natural areas around Vegas, and your Exotic Car Rental in Las Vegas will fit right in!

Parking

Now that you are in Vegas you need to find a place to park your Exotic Car Rental. Many may be surprised to know that parking, even on the Strip and in downtown, is generally plentiful and free. This can change however, when a large show puts extra pressure on parking lots in certain areas, and hotels sometimes charge people who aren't renting rooms. Valet parking is available at many places on and off the Strip (even malls and hospitals) for the price of a tip -- usually a couple of bucks.

Road Trip

If your planning your a road trip to Vegas, Exotic Car Rentals Las Vegas reminds you to keep a few things in mind: the first thing being to have fun! The second is to pack the tunes to keep yourself entertained. You'll find a couple of compilation albums are more entertaining on the road than listening to the same CD or tape over and over and over. Coming into Vegas you can also tune in to several radio stations that feature information on deals in Vegas, late-breaking news and music. Night-time driving is tough because there's not a lot to see. It's not the most beautiful drive during the day, either, but at least you see more than a line of light from opposing traffic. However, if you can time your trip to be between Barstow and Baker at sunset, you'll see some amazing sunsets, especially if there are some clouds.

There is no way to guarantee that you will not run into any road blocks along your Exotic Car Rental Las Vegas travels, but being prepared and having an idea of what to expect will help eliminate surprises and let you enjoy a stress-free trip.
