If you are going to go to Las Vegas make sure you know what you need to do when you arrive. This is a very busy airport with many flights all day and night. You want to make the arragements you need to get to your hotel ahead of time. I also suggest that you only carry on luggage. If you have to take a cab, you need to know how to save money, same with renting a car.
I say when you book your flight, book your airport transportation as well. There are no hotels that I am aware of in Las Vegas that offer a shuttle from the airport. You can, however, pick up a shuttle for less than $15 per person for a round trip. You need to prearrange this before you leave. This is the best way to get from the airport to your hotel. Busses and cabs are available, but the prices will be more than the shuttle.
I also recommend if at all possible pack light so you can take just a carry on. Sometimes, especially during peak times, it can take a long time to get your checked baggage. Plus you have to pay a fortune anymore just to check a bag. If you can carry your luggage with you it saves a lot of time, and makes your trip longer.
If for some reason you do decide that you are just going to take a cab, tell your driver not to take the tunnel. You really have to choose here between time and money. If they do not take the tunnel you are going to pay less, but if traffic is heavy you are going to be slowed down. When they do take the tunnel they will charge you more. The decision is what is more important, time or money.
If you really want the trouble of having a car while you are in Las Vegas then I would say go with Fox Rent-a-Cars. They are not in the airport, you have to be shuttled to their building. They do save you a lot of money, though, over the airport locations. I have never rented a car there though, I think my feet and public transportation is the way to go. Then you don't worry about parking and all that, and you usually aren't stuck in traffic.
When ever you are landing in Vegas make sure you have a plan how you are getting from the airport to your hotel. Planning in advance can save you some money. The best way is to arrange for a shuttle and don't check bags, this will save time and money.
