Not very far I don't think. I'd say no more the 3-4 miles. Gonna go bust out some MapQuest action. To be continued...

Who's good?!?! It's about 3 miles.

Here is the map. 3 miles can still take a bit of time though with the Convention Center traffic.

Map (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&un=m&1sbx=0&2tabval=search&cl=EN&ct=NA&1v=ADDRESS&1ct=NA&2n=Clark&1tabval=search&2v=CITY&1a=3150+Paradise+Road&1c=Las+Vegas&1s=NV&1z=89119&1y=US&1l=b7krnmNWLXM%253d&1g=4hMr1OKrsMKsK43DgiM8pQ%253d%253d&1pn=Las+Vegas+Convention+Center&1v=ADDRESS&1sb=CqbIhCcZjh%252bxpTEtdY6dYh6cDSu%252fR8bYqyaMzU 5WrtlXcswd8nLhsmeqoPfeyV200kv1NyXclbo48R8FcSV73OHh WUsASXs0K1NfP6TX%252bV1Gvtuqn7w6YdEZ7JZcIgq35P2jm4 RiXNa2YkrWUdyJYw0NkerrsQqzEeV2%252fENXexs%253d&1initsrch=0&2c=Las+Vegas&2s=NV&2y=US&2l=7GaSSJnw5S4%253d&2g=dDTOKwWN05euz2iEf7uXiQ%253d%253d&2pn=Airport&2v=CITY&2sb=eY0Fmx3K1%252bTnT86Bua1ItG9W8TUjKlsQpcbJayC0Ku 2YZNgInQwAtNHYxNGMpc6%252b8x6QHk7%252fAW2r4X3lA7bc 0rgWBpMOm9GtSB3%252fBBuQ%252fcyhp76W%252fO%252bOu8 dUzHioZ15rC6VF3r7xnzd5lRY5FhYQ%252fA%253d%253d&2initsrch=0&idx=0&id=4136eb75-00228-01268-cdbcf38d&aid=4136eb75-00229-01268-cdbcf38d)

Yeah the traffic can get really backed up because of the convention. Correct me if I'm wrong but once we got within about 5 mi of the convention center it took like 20 min at least to get the car parked.

Thank ya kindly, pro-touring.com's very own couple!

Kris, thanks for the map, and info 3 miles isn't too bad!

Erin,

I've heard that it can take a couple of hours to get 15 minutes (normal driving) down the strip after the show at night. This is why I'm most likely going to be staying at the greek (500ft or so from conv. center). Then again, I live in NY so I'm used to terrible traffic. :/

I thought it was a lot more then that. The cab ride I think is about $17.00?

Are cab rides measured by distance or by time? Because Vegas traffic, especially arount the show was way crazy.

Brian,

Thanks for the offer! I may have to take you up on that.

P.S. I haven't forgot about calling you back, college starts in a few days so things have been a little busy over here. I'll see if I can give you a call later on maybe.

Thanks again,

Cabbies are still fared by distance with a starting minimum of $3 bucks i think. Sorry, usually I'm a little :Alchy: when I ride them out here. Also; our crappy, fully automated, technoligically disfunctional monorail finally works without trapping the passengers in, I hear. Goes right by the convention center...... :icon996:
Also, I'll be attending for all three days and if some of you want some transportation assistance, I can probably help you out. Just start arranging it right now with me to make sure I'm where I need to be at the right time.
