45 to downtown?? by cab. Wow, things have changed. When I drove it was 20-25. My last ride was 91 though. I made the trip a zillion times. Piss off the driver and tell him to go right down Paradise. It is the straightest line. Trick is to tell him you want to go to the Hilton. Then change your mind and say just go downtown to Nugget.
The interstate is the long way around, no matter what they say. I drove cab for about 6 years. You have to trick Mapquest and put in two searches as below.. Total drive time by Mapquest 17 minutes my tricky way
