Only a fool would. There’s busses you can take. Open up google maps & get directions from airport to your hotel… change from car to bus / public transportation. It’ll show you how

I did this once when I went to Las Vegas. Walked from the Airport to the MGM. It took about 45 min - 1 hour. It wasn't so bad, but I was in the Vegas heat at night. Nice video

The main thing I was amazed at is that you did the whole trip without sitting down! I think I could do the trip. But I would have had to stop and sit a couple times!

I do this all the time when visiting Vegas. It really isn't nearly as bad as many make it out to be. You just need to be aware of which terminal you're in (Terminal One), which end of it you walk out of, identifying the pedestrian path that winds past all the art installations, palms and cacti between the tail-end of the passenger pick-up lot and the Paradise Road pedestrian path, and making sure you are hydrated and have adequate sunblock on is all. 🙂 The only thing I do different from what you did.............is I cross the street after making it down the scenic pedestrian path, and walk up the frontage pedestrian path on the other side of Paradise Road. I just always feel more comfortable walking down Paradise Road facing traffic than having my back to traffic personally (plus the surface is smooth on the other side), but either way gets the job done. 😊

Surprised (if not shocked) that I liked this video, but your commentary made it an entertaining sit through. Much thanks for filming.

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Pro tip if you decide to Uber. The Oyo hotel across the street from the MGM can often be 15 -20 bucks less than the MGM.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

This is a great winter or early spring walk. I can't wait to try it. Just not when I go at the end of July.

I really loved this video. I’m from Ohio and live going to Vegas but I love Vegas walking videos, I like seeing streets, buildings, and places that aren’t on the strip. I was happy for you that your sidewalk returned quickly when you were forced to off road and the last thing I’ll say is that those Nevada state flower and bird jokes made me chuckle… thanks for that.

God bless your heart. I watched the whole thing. I will probably never do it... Lol. I've always wondered, now I know... Lol

No thank you. We are going to the DTG in June, but I'd uber to the MGM. Not making that walk in summer heat and probably not in April cool either.

Hey, great video and very interesting as well can't to see more! 👍🏾💯❤️✌️🏾👊🏾🔥🎬🎥

The CX bus was a lifesaver. Took me to downtown Fremont for $2.

A little correction, you should've crossed Kitty Hawk at the Employee Parking Lot and turned right. It would have taken you around the corner and straight onto Paradise. You wouldn't have had to walk through the dirt for that small section. Nice video, though! Thanks for making the walk.

Nice walk! Me and a friend of mine walked from Red Rock Visitor's Center to Summerlin in June.

I"m gonna do this walk next time, by the way... almost did it last time... great video!!!

I love videos like this. Loved the story about the dagger as well.

I did that walk from the intersection of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd back in June 2022 about four o'clock in the morning. It was about 90 degrees, it took me approximately 45 minutes to get to the terminal. I'm from NYC, I'm 60 years old, I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall and weight about 115 lbs. It was a great walk and I would definitely do it again.

So what I took from this video, is the location of the RTC buses at the airport which could be located literally in front of any of the doors at the airport are placed in their distance from said doors to make taxis look more appealing...I wonder who took lobbyist money for that design decision.

Omg! My sister and I walked from Caesar’s to the Venetian because we were staying at both hotels during one visit and dragged 4 suitcases and our purses and I thought we were gonna die….You see one thing across the street and think oh no problem….and I said never again….but now I am in excellent shape so this is tempting for my next upcoming trip to Vegas…😅

There's also a fenced in walkway sandwiched in between the airport parking lot and the wall of Paradise Road.

I've thought about doing this but only if I was travelling really light with just a small backpack. If you've got a carry-on suitcase, just pay for a shuttle or take a cab if you are with other people.

‼️‼️Awesome Job Bro! I had to almost do the same when I missed the bus 🚎 on Tropicana . I just decided to walk it , since “ it’s just right there, I can see 😳 it” lol 😂 it was definitely further than it looks about 2-3 miles lol but a good workout 🏋️‍♀️ but much needed rest afterwards 💯💯💯 Greeat Job!

I just had to watch this video and I was AMAZED that you walked to the MGM grand in 55 min!!! JOB WELL DONE You deserve a beer!!! lol

Thank you for doing this. Just crazy to do.

You know what's crazy to think about is I don't even know how I would walk out or walk to my own local airport. I always go to the airport by car/taxi

Great video thanks. I will be there in August

That's awesome. Sunscreen, lots of water, and cool clothes will be your friend. August is our monsoon season, so it can get pretty humid, too.

could also catch the rental car shuttle and walk from there

I always wondered what that walk would be like and thanks to your efforts, now I know. I also know that there is no way in hell I would ever do it lol. I watched the entire video for moral support. Thanks for doing that, it is very much appreciated.

I walked it from the hard rock a few years back. Taxis and Ubers were charging about 50 bucks for a 10 minute ride. Fuck that

$50? Not bad. U now have to upgrade to premium just to get an Uber without a wait time which will be closer to $75-100. Insane ripoff either way. I’m so stingy that I drive to treasure island to park my car for free even if I’m staying all the way at mgm or Mandalay. I save like $40 on parking by doing that. I obviously lose much more in gambling but I refuse to pay $18 a day for parking

never walked from the airport to the strip but i think thus is actually faster than walking one end to the strip to the other. you should do a video walking from luxor to resorts world i bet it takes you longer than a hour

This was great! Loved it!

amazing well done. I am the same weight as you but from the uk and I could NOT do that walk when I come in June, I would have passed out hahaha so well done :0)

After sitting 12 hours in a plane from Germany I think ill do this too ! 😅

This reminds me that I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino several years ago and I made the walk back and forth several times to the strip. It really wasn't very fun.

I’m a local in Las Vegas. I found this video interesting.

You are a mad man for this. I can already feel my calves burning just watching this. 😭

By the time you left the airport grounds I was sitting in my suite enjoying a cocktail…SMH…

😅 what a Trooper you are, 😅 thank you for your sacrifice 😮 ❤ you man!

I take the bus. I usually meet friends from other parts of the country who Uber to the hotel. They look at me like I'm crazy for taking the bus (which is super easy). Kudos for walking though...I get plenty of steps in daily when I'm in Vegas without the walk from the airport. :)

This is a hell of a walk dude.

In the 90s, we used to rollerblade from the airport to Fremont (Fitzgeralds, now The D). Tough roads back then had a lot of gravel!

Well done, interesting watch

I did this in the other direction from Excalibur to Harry Reid Airport - but it was in February with a very small bag of stuff

They should make you an honorary member of the tourist agency

Google maps says this walk is 2.4 miles, which is approximately the same distance as Wynn to Excalibur, so almost the entire strip (save Resorts World & Luxor/Mandalay, depending on how you're counting "the strip"). I've done that, but not without a bunch of stops for beverages/debauchery on the way. I was hopeful about the idea of RTC busses but it looks like there's not a ton of options that actually start at the airport (CX, 108, 109), might still be better to skip a couple drinks and plan for the car.

You did that! 🎉

I did it one time too to Hooters to just see if it can be done.

Now that was a walk, I will be traveling there soon and staying at the MGM, don't think I will do that walk though. LOL

Good video!! Subscribed 🎉

Google directions from LAS Airport to MGM Grand: Walking: 54min Bus: 56mi

there are crosswalks you can use if you want to go from baggage claim to ticketing instead of going up and around.

I've always wondered how long of a walk it would be. After seeing your video, I think i'll stick with taking a cab.

It cost $60 from the airport to Circus Circus. $40 to the airport from Circus Circus. I heard about the scenic route that cab drivers give to tourists. I guess I got that route. What you don't know, you don't know!

Hate to tell you but you got ripped off both times. There are flat rates to/from the airport depending on the zone. You should have been paying $30 each way.

I want to try this.

Nice video...

I appreciate the effort but I don't think we needed the second angle, it doesn't really add anything to the video. I mean that as feedback, not hate. Other than that and a bit you probably could have cut out of the beginning, good video. You have a really good personality and a great sense of humor, and kept giving helpful information throughout the video.

Do not do this during the summer heat, you will die

one other thing man its not what it used to be but it still is the gem in the middle of the desert this walk was amazing you think its safe enough to do this at night? cause i would love to see what the walk up would be like

333rd like on this video by me! Most importantly the voyage you take from the airport by foot is dangerous. People drive very violently in this area it is very scary.

Next video, go terminal to golden nugget at noon in July!

P.S.: Compression cubes, my man. Compression cubes!

I'll have to look into that. I literally just threw things in the suitcase for demonstration purposes.

I thought cab to each zone is now regulated and set price. $19 cash to MGM Grand because they charge credit card fees if not cash.

If I travelled by myself, heck yeah, I would do this! If my wife was with me, well, that's a different story. We'd definitely be Lyfting because there's no way she ever would lol

Million dollar question! Can you walk from the airport up Paradise to the Best Western and Enterprise Car Rental? Is there a sidewalk to do it or no?

lol I did this the other day walked from the greyhound station to almost the downtown las. What’s at my hostel intense walk but fuckk it

No, but that's intentional. The Strip is built to funnel as many tourist dollars as it can into the economy by keeping people contained there. As such, you have to make it a point to go away from the Strip if you want normal priced, local stores.

A huff, and a puff...😅

Just take the bus. Its $2.00 . Takes about half the time as walking.

really interesting video! Me and my wife frequent the MGM grand (only resort we stay at and we've been to Vegas 4 times since winter 2022, and i've always been curious about traversing to or from the airport by foot it feels like its right across the street from MGM how close it is. I'm starting some content creation as well and recorded a lot of footage in vegas on our last trip, now I kinda wanna take this challenge myself lol (doubt the wife will want to participate). An interesting stroll would be from Palms to the Strip or from downtown to the strip! Also, if you get the chance, check out ARTE museum at the crystal shops on the strip, amazing place to get B-Roll. Check out my short video that I recorded in one of the exhibits. Subscribing, love your energy feels like we're strolling with you!

I can honestly tell everyone that I went to one of those time share meeting's in California just to sharpen my own sales skills (1990's) they were offering a whole fifteen dollar gas card that I didn't use. If I hadn't been a single mom with no disposable income and a serious knowledge from my parents about time shares I could have been swindled into it. They will find that worm no flee hole to get inside your brain, they are so skilled in their verbiage don't do it. They should be illegal.
