Vegas, off-airport rentals...somethin' changed
So it use to be, if you were goin' rent a car from one of the major Vegas hotels, eg Flamingo, Wynn, Westin, etc., you'd pay through the teeth. Unless you had (a) just hit a big jackpot or (b) were incapable of getting to the LAS airport or (c) had money to spare or (d) a tourist on vacation and didn't care, those rentals made NO sense.
In October, November and early December, the above situation changed. More than often, you could find great deals renting from the major hotels versus renting from the LAS airport. The "taxes and other fees" were largely MIA.
Beginning in the latter part of December, that great bargain totally has disappeared. The daily rates may be reasonable, but the "taxes and other fees" has returned, making any of those rentals, non-competitive, versus picking up from LAS. That is, unless you want to rent from Hertz at the Rampart location, which is "way out there"...
