From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) — taxi and rideshare
Taxis and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) are the simplest door-to-door option. Drivers can drop you at the porte-cochere at The Orleans, 4500 W Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89103, so you can enter at the main registration area.
Expect a short 10–15 minute drive depending on traffic and pickup location at the airport; this is the most direct option if you have luggage or arrive late at night.
- Give the driver the full address: 4500 W Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89103.
- Taxis accept card payment; rideshare apps show fare estimates before you request.
- Tipping taxi drivers or rideshare chauffeurs is customary in the U.S.
| Option | Best when |
|---|---|
| Taxi | No app or need immediate curbside pickup |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | You prefer an app-based fare and tracking |
| Rental car | You plan to drive around Las Vegas or take day trips |

Hotel shuttle and shared-ride shuttles — what to check before you go
The Orleans does not currently offer a dedicated airport shuttle service for guests; reports about a Boyd shuttle loop to Gold Coast and the Strip conflict, so verify shuttle availability directly with the property before relying on it.
Commercial shared-ride shuttles and private transfers (shared vans, sedans, limousines) operate from LAS and can drop at the hotel. If you want a scheduled pickup from the airport, book a shared shuttle or private transfer in advance and confirm the drop-off location at The Orleans.
- Call the hotel or your transfer provider to confirm pickup/drop-off points.
- Book shared-ride shuttles in advance during busy event times to secure a seat.
- If a free Boyd shuttle is important to you, confirm current operation with The Orleans — availability has changed in the past.
| Provider | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| The Orleans / Boyd shuttle | Conflicting reports — confirm before travel |
| Commercial airport shuttles | Book ahead for scheduled pickup |
| Private transfer (sedan/ limo) | Good for groups or when timing matters |
Arriving by airport shuttle companies and limo services
Several airport shuttle companies and private transfer services operate at LAS and will bring you to The Orleans. These are useful if you want curb-to-curb service but don’t want to use rideshare or taxis.
When booking, provide the hotel’s full address and confirm where drivers will meet you at the airport; pickups are usually in the designated ground transportation areas at LAS.
- Reserve shared shuttles or private cars in advance, especially for large groups or during events.

From other regional airports (Henderson Executive, Boulder City)
Henderson Executive Airport and Boulder City Municipal Airport are much farther away than LAS; travel times are longer and ground transport options are more limited than from Harry Reid International Airport.
If you arrive at one of these smaller airports you’ll likely need a taxi, rideshare, private transfer, or rental car to reach The Orleans. Check with your carrier or the smaller airport’s ground transportation desk for specifics.
- Henderson Executive and Boulder City are not nearby — plan a longer ground transfer.
