Although I will say, sometimes it IS good to have a car. It all depends on where you are going. One trip, the Ex and I went to the Gamblers General Store. It's kind of on the outskirts of Downtown out by itself. We shopped for a while and then when we were ready to leave, we couldn't flag a cab down to save our lives. Come to find out later, cabs won't stop if you flag them (like they do in NYC). Apparently by law, they can't. (or at least that is what we were told). It was kind of irritating. So just be aware if you take a cab somewhere, you may have to call and have them come pick you back up. You should not have an issue getting a cab in the more "touristy" spots though. They hang around the Strip hotels and the Downtown hotels too.
