Do know if Paris provides a shuttle. Couldn't find any info on their site so I'm guessing they don't. Was going to take a taxi but thinking of signing up for Uber. What are your thoughts on Uber?some resorts do have shuttles. Other than that I would just take a cab. Check out a map for the route just to keep the cabby honest LOL.

Uber by law can't pick up at any hotel strip resort. FYI So if you go that route be prepared you can't return that way. There are plenty of shuttles though. See if the Venetian has one and just walk across the parking lot.
So af watching some youtube videos I was wondering, do the taxi drivers really try to take advantage of you. Some people say to tell the driver not to go the freeway and others say to tell the driver not to go to the tunnel. So since I don't know my way around how can I tell if the driver is ripping me off? Decided to take a taxi as we changed hotels and are staying at NY NY
Thank you for the information. I wonder how this is allowed to happen but I'm sure it happens in all big cities which is probably why Uber is becoming so popular. I have put the Nevada Taxi Authority phone number in my phone along with the directions we should be taking.Biggest scam in Vegas is the taxi ride from the airport to the strip. Do not let them take the highway, it will increase the price of your fare from < $20 to $40.
Tell them no highway, local streets only. I usually stay farther north at Wynn, so I'm not 100% sure about New York, but I would probably tell them to take Paradise to Tropicana.
Edit: this site explains the situation pretty well:

Basically, there are 2 ways out of the airport. The Swenson exit is on the north part of the airport (which is usually where you need to go if you are staying on the strip). The tunnel takes you to the south of the airport, so you have to loop around to get to the strip.
Theoretically, if you just say you want the shortest route or the most direct route, they can't take you on the highway.
Paris is several casinos down from The Venetian ( which means a couple of city blocks) We used a shuttle at the airport on our 1st trip but after that went for a taxi as it was quicker.
