If you are coming from the Las Vegas strip, it can be an expensive ride if using Uber, Lyft, or taxi (about $100 each way.) If you DO use this option, we recommend pre-arranging your drop off AND pick up.

Also, if you take a Uber, Lyft, or taxi, the fee to enter the park is payable to the NPS entry booth per vehicle. Even if a different Uber, Lyft, or taxi, picks you up, as long as that vehicle is empty they will not be charged again.

We do not currently offer shuttle service to/from the strip to the marina to catch any of our cruises.
