        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Las Vegas?",
        "answer": "Harry Reid International Airport sits just a few miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, making ground transportation straightforward. The Las Vegas Monorail does not reach the airport, but the RTC bus system offers service via the Centennial Express and local routes, though buses can be slow with luggage. Taxis are plentiful outside arrivals and take about ten minutes to reach the Strip. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular, cost-effective, and pick up from designated areas on Level 2M of the terminals. Shuttle services run to most major hotels and are affordable but make multiple stops. Car rentals are available at the on-site consolidated rental facility accessible by shuttle. Most visitors use ride-share services for the combination of convenience, speed, and price, though hotel shuttles remain popular for travelers heading directly to a resort."
