TransportationShuttle from the Airport SuperShuttle: Your group code is X5R27. The reservations can booked on www.supershuttle.comTerminal 1: Upon arrival, please inform your guests to follow the signs to the Baggage Claim and collect their luggage. Exit door 11 from Baggage Claim area and proceed right to the SuperShuttle booth. Door 11 is located behind Starbucks. Terminal 3: Exit door 53 and proceed to the SuperShuttle booth. Cost is $9.90 each way per person. Taxi:Taxi service is very prompt at McCarran Airport. You should be sure to say “No Tunnel” when going from McCarran to the Riviera. Taxi drivers in Las Vegas are required to take the shortest route, but they like to come in from the west side of the Strip via the tunnel and freeway which will take longer and cost you more. However, the Riviera is a straight shot down Paradise Rd going north out of the airport. The trip is only ten minutes and should cost about $20.00. It’s worth it. They should drop you off at the rear of the hotel at Riviera Blvd where the check-in desk is located.

Car Rental:All car rental agencies are located in the central McCarran Rental Center accessed via the shuttle from the airport. Should you plan to rent a car, reserve well in advance as Las Vegas is always busy.

Walking:Once you are at the Riviera, you can walk less than one-half mile to the center Strip area south. This is where you will find the Wynn, the Encore, Treasure Island, Venetian, Mirage, and a host of other hotels in the center Strip area. Also, shopping is available at the Fashion Show Mall and the Forum Shops. Have Fun! If you want to go to the South end of the Strip - take a cab!
