We love Vegas and are planning to go back again in the fall. I am a T-6 para and use a manual chair.

We are considering a vacation in Las Vegas, booked at the Bellagio hotel on the Strip. We would be taking Chad in his manual chair, not his power chair. What are the options for getting him from the airport to the hotel in his chair?
You just hop an accessible taxi. Go to the taxi stand and tell him that you need an accessible taxi and they'll call one up. You'll love the Bellagio but consider taking his power chair as you'll be doing lots of walking. Return trip to airport is a bit more difficult as taxis don't like the Bellagio as it is hard to get in and out of so contact the bell man at the lobby to order you one a bit early. Have fun and enjoy the conservatory and fountains and buffett etc. Aloha Bruce

The major shuttle companies (Bell, Grayline, holiday car rental etc.) at the airport have lift-equipped shuttles. Save a little holiday car rental by purchasing a round-trip ticket. Just be sure to call 24 hours before your departure to reserve your return trip to the airport.
I would also recommend taking the power chair. You can see a lot more, and the distances between the casinos/hotels on the Strip can be deceptively long. Even within the casinos, you are going to find a LOT of carpet and long distances (for example it is always a LONG way from the entrance to the restrooms).
Ground transportation is no worry at all. Vegas moves people well we have 35 million or so visitors a year and they all need to get around. When you arrive in the airport the west side exits will say limos and buses and the the east side exits will say taxis and passenger pick up. You can easily get a taxi on the east side, they will spot you or get their attention (guy in a yellow vest) and they will call the next available one for you. You can exit the west side and purchase a round trip ticket holiday car rental on the Bell trans bus for to and from the airport but you'll be on their schedule.
We love Vegas and are planning to go back again in the fall. I am a T-6 para and use a manual chair. We opt to using a taxi, since my husband helps me to get in and out by lifting me. Just make sure when u need transport back to the airport you let someone at the front desk know that you definitely need a wheelchair accessible van. A few years back my daughter and I flew out to Vegas and needed an accessible van and it took awhile to get to the hotel, so give your self plenty of time. I also found out that some taxi drivers although they strap u in have more experience than others so make sure you are comfortable before they leave to drive you to your destination. I have had some white knuckle taxi rides! Have fun and good luck with your trip.
Definately take the power chair. I did vegas a few years ago and loved it. Used my manual but the hotel also had a place to rent the power scooter and i did it couple of days i just took my cushion off my regular chair and put it on the scooter seat. We rented a van since i have no issues transferring and it was so much easier. My father just put the chair in the back and of course drove. We are planning to go back actually in september i think this year.
I go to Vegas 2-4 times a year and we have a blast. Accessible Taxi and Shuttles are available. The acessible taxi will be the fastest trip to the hotel. I am T7 and the plush carpet can be tiring but from your avatar picture I suggest him bringing his powerchair. holiday car rental Vegas will be much more enjoyable for the both of you.
