Tired of sitting in gridlocked strip traffic to get into Caesars on a Friday or Saturday night?

Don't!

Here are some great tips on how to get to and from Caesars without ever touching Las Vegas Blvd:

From I-15 to Caesars: Get off on Flamingo, head towards Las Vegas Blvd as normal. Instead of turning left at Las Vegas Blvd, make the first left you can at the first traffic light you encounter. This is the traffic light that controls the traffic from Caesars' Augustus tower (left) and Bellagio Valet (right). Once you turn left, you will be in the valet area for the Caesars Augustus tower. Do not stop here, unless you want to valet. Instead, turn left again, and you will head down a service road that is completely legal and open to regular traffic, though it doesn't appear that way. Follow it around, and it will eventually kick you onto Frank Sinatra Drive. (Just look for the first opportunity "out", and then turn right.) Continue on Frank Sinatra until you reach a traffic light for Jay Sarno Way. Turn right, and you will be right at the Caesars self-parking garage. If you want to get to the front of Caesar's, just keep driving and you will get there.

From Rio or anywhere west of the strip to Caesars: Head to W Twain Avenue. It is between Spring Mtn and Flamingo, and runs east-west. From the Rio, just head out the convention area of the property and turn right, or if you're in the parking area off Valley View, turn right on Valley View and right on Twain. Follow Twain all the way through, under I-15. Get to the right lane as you go under the freeway, and turn right on Frank Sinatra. Follow Frank Sinatra for a short time, and turn left at the first light (Jay Sarno Way). You will be right at the Caesar's self-parking area. If you want valet or the front, just keep driving.

From Caesars to Rio or Valley View Road: Exit self parking, turn left towards Frank Sinatra. Turn right when you get to Frank Sinatra. Turn left at Industrial (should be the second light), but make sure to get all the way to the right lane as soon as you turn. You probably want the rightmost left turn lane. Right after you turn, make the first right onto Twain. You will see the Rio on your left. Make the first left if you want to go there, and then keep driving until you get to the desired parking area, as this left will take you into the convention area. If you just want to get to Valley View Road, keep driving a bit and Twain will run into it.

From Caesars Front or Self-Park to Flamingo Rd or Augustus Tower: Exit self parking, turn left towards Frank Sinatra. Or if you're in the front valet, keep driving instead of exiting onto Las Vegas Blvd. When you get to Frank Sinatra, turn left. Then turn left immediately at the next light (Caesars Service Dr). Then turn right immediately into the little driveway area. It will look like you don't belong there, but it's fine. Keep driving, and loop around the little service road. You will soon find yourself at a traffic light for the Augustus Tower on Flamingo. Turn right to go west, turn left to go east.

From Caesars to Cosmopolitan/Vdara/Harmon Ave: Exit self parking, turn left towards Frank Sinatra. Turn right when you get to Frank Sinatra. Turn left at Industrial (should be the second light). Keep left, and drive straight on Industrial. You will pass Hotel Rio Drive (don't turn here), and eventually get to a light at Jerry Lewis Way. Turn right here, and follow it as it makes a weird left turn and runs into Harmon. Then turn left again on Harmon. If you want Vdara, drive a bit and look for the sign on how to get there (I think it's on the left). If you want Cosmo, look for it on the left, and then get in the left turn lane for the traffic light when you see the property. This is also a way to "leapfrog" past Flamingo and Bellagio, and get all the way to Harmon if you want to travel south on the strip.

From Cosmopolitan (or W Harmon Ave) to Caesars: Exit Cosmopolitan, turn right. When you get to Aldebaran Ave (traffic light), turn right. I think it's the second light. Follow it around and turn left on Industrial when it ends. Stay on Industrial past Hotel Rio Drive (don't turn here), and turn right on Twain, which will take you under I-15. Then turn right immediately on Frank Sinatra, and turn left immediately at Jay Sarno Way. You will be at Caesar's self-parking.
