With 2 people going into Vegas, we've split up in the past: one person fights the entire rental car shuttle crowd and the other person waits for the bags. Rental car retriever then loops back to fetch the bag collector.
It's not that Vegas is any more crowded that any other world airport. It's just that it's amateur hour there - total chaos and a lot of inexperienced travelers combined with a general lack of enough cabs and rental car shuttles.
I'd rather fly into CAI. Dead serious. At least there I can quickly find a bandit cab if I need one.
