Uber pickup at T3 in LAS - how far to walk to

How far/difficult is to walk from T3 arrivals to the UBER pickup location considering someone with mobility issues (slow walking and using a cane).
Any stairs to walk up or down, dangerous crossings, etc.
Thank you.

No stairs. There are two elevators (or one escalator and one elevator) to take from baggage claim. The elevators are on each side of the passenger bridge to the parking garage.

Post #2 has the answer. Also, look for discount codes on both Uber and Lyft.

Uber has a first ride free (up to $20). And others.
Lyft has $5 off 10 rides. $10 off 5 rides. And others.

The signage at LAS has gotten better but the guides aren't clear that after you cross the walkway to the T3 garage, you take the garage elevator down a level to valet for Uber/Lyft pickup.

Is there a reliable place to find Uber/Lyft codes? All the ones I find, when trying to apply them, say "Another invite promotion was already applied".

How far out of the terminal can I still get wifi signal at LAS T3. Thinking of ordering Uber over wifi on my way to the Uber pickup spot. I don't have a roaming data plan for US - unless I pay $8/day for 50MB/day, which would render probably my cost for Uber similar to the cost for a cab (destination would be Trump Hotel).

Don't know but you can use the T3 WIFI at the top of the escalator before going across the walkway to the garage. Uber usually takes 3-5 minutes from the time ordered so you'll have time to get to the pickup area.

While not the issue of the day, the Trump hotel is a non-gaming hotel and a bit off the strip with not much nearby. It offers limited dining or shopping on property. Staying at the Trump, you will be using Uber a bit to get anywhere and the data plan may be needed.

The Trump International has free shuttles to the Wynn and Caesars.

This is the guide I used, but there seems to be ample signage these days.

Regarding wifi, it's not dependable at all after you get out. I usually order it, wait until they're near, remember the license plate, then step out. For T3, just make sure you go down a floor after you cross the bridge, only confusing part.

Thanks for the wishes.

There's a huge notice on the overhead sign at the end of the walkways now. They just need more of them on the way there, IMO.

When I was in Vegas a few months ago, I used Uber a fair amount. Others have it right about pickup, but a couple of other notes for what they are worth. Seemed no problem for Uber to drop off right at the terminal curbside when returning to the airport, FYI.

BUT, I noticed that several hotels on and near the Strip were making it pretty complicated to find the Uber pickup zone there, sometimes requiring quite a hike through a basement garage or other out-of-the-way areas. Considering how huge some of the hotel and casino floors are already, just keep that in mind when you are requesting the next Uber ride there. It could take you longer than you expect to get to the spot.

Enjoy.

If I have a choice, is there any advantage to using T1 or T3 for pickups? Is T3 less crowded or faster?
