We have stayed for 2 weeks each time at this resort, and because we're weeks members, it's $50 for each week, was $30 before last fall. No housekeeping charge for weeks stays.
The shuttle is very flexible. You rarely need a reservation. We'd go down at 9:50 am and get added to the 10:00 am shuttle to the strip. We've been on the strip, have had enough, and call them before the top of the hour to book the on the half hour shuttle back, then get our butts to treasure island in time for it.
If you're the only one on the shuttle going to the strip, can often be dropped off closer to the location you want to end up at. We've been dropped off in front of Flamingo, in front of Wynn, and right at the excalibur taxi line. Last fall was talking to a family who got dropped off right at a water park since they were the only ones on the shuttle. Very accommodating and friendly drivers.
This past September when we arrived at the airport, we called Cliffs, booked the shuttle pickup from treasure island, then took a taxi there, a lot cheaper. Helped to get the new shuttle schedule beforehand so I knew the shuttle times. And they do let you take your luggage on the shuttle if you let them know in advance, whereas no other shuttle we've used in Vegas has allowed it. Which doesn't make sense, as some resorts do grocery runs, people get on with cases of water, beer, and lots of grocery bags, takes up a lot more space than one suitcase does.
This past spring we just took a cab from the airport to the condo, was around $45 from what I remember, just took the 215 beltway west, then tropicana, then turned right up to the condo.
We've never ubered. Instead since we always go to Vegas for at least 2 weeks due to being retired and a long flight, we go to the bonneville transit station, or can get them at most Albertson's stores there, and get the reduced seniors bus pass for $17 each for 15 days. Sometimes with the bus pass we've just taken the Flamingo bus back to the condo, which takes some time, then about a 10 minute walk from bus stop. But it's good for me to do that as I've found out where some of the places I've heard about are. Going to the strip earlier than the shuttle starts, the bus stop is right around the corner from the resort. Bus pass also helps when too tired or lazy to walk to the other end of the strip, just hop on the deuce.
With this resort being in Summerlin has been no problems for us with no car, as they have the shuttles, and we have the time and bus passes to go anywhere at our leisure. We finally tried Cliffs last fall as we wanted to check out Red Rock Hotel as they have the shuttle going there, which is absolutely gorgeous. Once we tried Cliffs, we were hooked, as I think you can see.
It's also nice just to veg at the condo pool for a day or 2, very relaxing with no music blaring.
