Handicapped Accessibility

Vegas is a service-oriented town dedicated to making vacations comfortable and enjoyable for everyone regardless of their physical abilities. We've put together some helpful tips and information on getting around the city for handicapped visitors.

Hotels

All Vegas hotels are handicapped accessible. Room designs and special services vary among hotels. Talk to the hotel concierge for any special requests or needs. Many hotel pools have lifts available to assist handicapped guests. Ask the hotel reservations agent when booking a room.

Transportation

There are a number of companies in Vegas that offer transportation for handicapped visitors and people in wheelchairs:

  • AKA Limousine Service: (702) 257-7433
  • Golden Years Airport Shuttle: (702) 360-6160
  • Las Vegas Transportation: (702) 248-2631
  • Nevada Medi-Car: (702) 382-5820

    Shows

    All Vegas shows offer seating for handicapped patrons. Many showrooms have assistive listening devices for hearing impaired customers. Notify the hotel box office prior to the show for any special requests.

    Attractions

    Many Vegas attractions are accessible for handicapped customers, however there are limitations (for example warning for patrons with heart conditions) on some attractions and rides. Contact the hotel where the attraction is located to find out the specifics.

    Dining

    All Vegas restaurants are accessible. Talk to the maitre'd for any special seating requests you might have or just ask about any concerns when you call to make reservations. Keep in mind that most restaurants located in hotels do not have restrooms located in the restaurant -- they are located outside in the casino. Casino restrooms are handicapped accessible.

    Gaming

    Many hotels have handicapped accessible slot machines and table games. Some offer wheelchair access to craps tables. Several bingo halls have braille bingo cards or large-print cards. Sign language interpreters are available at some hotels that offer gaming lessons. Call the hotel for details.
