Las Vegas Traffic

August 13, 2015 by orlan

If you think that your commute is getting longer in Las Vegas, you may be right. There are multiple areas where construction for our growing city is causing road delays and potential closures all around town. According to the Regional Transportation Commission’s website today, there were several improvement projects underway around town.

Avoid Traffic by steering clear of potential roadwork or hazards by checking the RTC website for updates on road closures and improvement projects. And as always, when it rains, like it did today, steer clear of potential flood zones. Drive safe.

5 Things to Enjoy Around Las Vegas

July 10, 2015 by orlan

To locals, Las Vegas isn’t just the Strip. There are a variety of destinations that are not far from Las Vegas that you can enjoy while on vacation, over the weekend, or any day of the week. Here are a few places we enjoy driving to and from.

1. Valley of Fire

Nevada’s oldest and largest state park, Valley of Fire was dedicated in 1935. With red sandstone formations that were formed from shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs over 150 million years ago, the park offers camping, hiking, picnicking and photography. The park is open year round and is located six miles from Lake Mead and 55 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

2. Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon was designated as Nevada’s first National Conservation Area and is located 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip. The area is visited by over one million people each year. With beautiful sites and lots of hiking, Red Rock Canyon is has a 13 mile scenic drive, more than 30 miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, road biking, picnic areas, nature observations and a visitor center with exhibit rooms and a book store.

3. Mt. Charleston

Mount Charleston is located about 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas within the Mount Charleston Wilderness. Mount Charleston is a year-round getaway for Las Vegas’ residents and visitors, with a number of hiking trails and a modest ski area. Mount Charleston has nearly 200 camp sites and over 150 picnic areas. With Summer temperatures reaching over 100 degrees most of the Summer, Mt. Charleston is a great getaway for both visitors and residents.

4. Pahrump Valley Winery

Nevada may seem like a strange place to have vineyards. However, a small group of pioneers are making real progress in select areas and with certain grape varietals. While Nevada may never be Napa Valley, the winery is a destination spot for visitors and residents.

5. Grand Canyon

Nearing five million people see the Grand Canyon each year. Known as one of the Greatest Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon is a destination spot for people all over the world. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and attains a depth of over a mile. Nearly two billion years of Earth’s geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.

With over 41 million visitors a year, Las Vegas is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. While there is a plethora of things to do on the Strip, there is even more to do off the strip. Five Star Limousine offers tours and you can leave the driving to us.

Summer is here and that means that Vegas will have an in-surge of visitors. Vegas is the perfect Summer destination for tourists due to our weather, nightlife, and all of the exciting things that we offer that other parts of the world do not. Here is a list of things that you will definitely want to check out the next time you are in “Sin City”.

Vegas has family friendly shows and is the perfect addition to your vacation. Looking for an adult night out? There are a variety of shows that are perfect for a girl’s night out (anyone say Chippendales?) or if magic is more your style, David Copperfield is still the king of Vegas with his magic.

2. Shopping

The best way to leave with what you paid for in Vegas is not to take a stroll in the casino, but to go shopping. At least you will have something to show for your empty wallet. If your tastes run expensive, you will want to schedule some time at the luxurious shops at Crystals, Fashion Show and the Bellagio. With the only city that boasts not one but two full size Tiffany and Co. store, if luxury shopping is what you are looking for, you have come to the right place.

3. Dayclubs

When coming to a Summer destination, what better way to spend your day than drinking a cold margarita and enjoying your favorite DJ by the pool. Las Vegas has amazing pools at nearly every resort. You can take your club scene – beautiful people, delicious drinks, and mind blowing DJs and reduce the clothes to almost nothing, move everything outdoors and spend the entire day soaking up the sun and you have Las Vegas day clubs. Sounds too good to be true? This is Vegas. Nothing is too good to be true.

4. Stripclubs

Vegas has something for everyone. If you are looking for a more adult like vacation spot.. why not try and see how many strip clubs you could visit in one night? The women are intoxicating with dance moves that look like your fantasies that will put the strip clubs you are used to to shame. Strip clubs aren’t just for the guys either, Las Vegas has strip clubs for women that will allow your dirty sides to come to the surface.

5. Nightclubs

With some of the best nightclubs in the country, no matter what type of music or vibe you are looking for, Las Vegas will curb your appetite. With venues that are sure to make your jaw drop and some of the hottest entertainment from some of the biggest names in the business, dance the night away and remember “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”.

Las Vegas has so much to do, you might want to re-schedule your flight and stay a few more days. While you are enjoying your time here, if you are not wanting to have to worry about drinking and driving or don’t want to spend money on cab fare, remember that Five Star Limousine offers 24 hour service and can get you to where you want to go.

Airport Cab vs. Limousine

June 17, 2015 by orlan

We all know how stressful travelling can be. First you have to make the travel plans and then when you actually get to your destination, you still have to find transportation to pick you up to go and either get a rental car or take you to your hotel. You have many options to choose from as their are airport cabs everywhere that will take you wherever you want to go in the city… for a price.

Red Carpet Service

With limo transportation from the airport by a company like Five Star Limousine you don’t have to worry about having to track down a cab and not know what kind of experience you will have. All of our limos have a licensed and insured chauffeur that is familiar with everything in the city and knows the best route to get you there.

You are greeted at the airport terminal by your driver who has a placard with your name on it. Don’t worry about your bags, we will get those while you sit back and relax in comfort and luxury. Once inside our spacious limousine, you can sit back and enjoy the ride with LCD lighting, state of the art sound system and plenty of leg space. Flight delayed? Change of flight? Not a problem. We check flight boards and can easily change your pickup time to match a different flight.

Multiple Destinations? No problem!

With a normal cab in Las Vegas, you are up-charged for the time that you spend, how long you sit in traffic and the number of destinations that you need to go to. At Five Star Limousine we understand that sometimes you need to stop at other destinations than just your final destination. We have no problem taking you to wherever you want to go and waiting on you while taking you to your home, hotel, or office.
