Spend any amount of time in Las Vegas and a few things become fairly obvious. There's traffic on Las Vegas Blvd. at all times of the day, the hotels are nearly filled to capacity on a consistent basis, there's a steady stream of planes landing and leaving McCarran International Airport, and the attractions of Vegas are getting more and more spread out.
If you're content to stay in your own hotel, or just want to visit the ones within walking distance, you won't be bothered by the ever expanding town. If you want to move from the Strip to downtown Vegas, and don't mind cabs or setting on a bus besides some total stranger, life is good. But, if you like the freedom of having your own set of wheels in Vegas, and you didn't drive to town, car rental is in your future.
Vegas Car Rental
Car rental places in Las Vegas take their cue from the casinos that attract people to the Nevada desert. Some budgets limit casino patrons to the nickel slots. When these people rent a car, price is a primary concern, and cheap car rental is available throughout the town. Other visitors have more cash to play with, and they head to the crap table or blackjack pit. For them, a place like Hertz Rent A Car might have a bigger, more expensive machine to cruise the Strip in.
Then, there's another type of individual that rolls into town every day. This guy has been watching those Vegas commercials on TV and comes to town to essentially take on a new identity. He brings a wad of cash, bets big and lives large, and won't be found waiting in line for the bus to Circus Circus. Mr. Vegas wants a set of wheels that turn heads and announce to the world that he has arrived.
Hertz Car Rental in Las Vegas
For the Vegas visitor and car rental customer with a limited budget, Hertz Rent A Car is a good place to pick up some reliable transportation without draining the bank account. (That job belongs to the casino) Hertz car rental outlets can be found at more than a dozen places in Vegas and prices for small cars start at around $20/day. Cheap car rental isn't the only business done at Hertz. They also offer full sized cars, SUV and luxury car rental.
Hertz car rental is just one of the national car rental businesses in Vegas. These national brands are favored by many Vegas vacationers, since they are well known and trusted. In a town built by losers, Hertz Rent A Car is reasonably close to a sure thing.
Exotic Car Rental
If there's such a thing as a car rental place that has something for everybody, it might be Dream Car Rentals in Las Vegas. If cheap car rental is needed, they can line up a ride for less than $40/day. If the fortunes of the gaming world have been kind, and luxury car rental is in the cards, they have everything from a 1959 Caddy convertible to an Audi A4.
This is also the place for the guy who wants to make an impression. This facility has a fine selection of Porsches, Ferraris and Corvettes, and a cute little Lamborghini, which goes for $1350/day.
Of course, some car rental customers wish to project the image of "old money", and nothing says "filthy rich" like a Rolls Royce. Las Vegas Exotic Rentals can make this wish come true. From their office on Dean Martin Drive, they proudly display, and offer to you, the Rolls Royce Phantom. Those who have to ask ($2675/day) simply needn't bother. It can be rented by the day, or for up to a week, and then it must be returned. After all, what's rented in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
