The university is three kilometers from McCarran International Airport. You must make your own arrangements to find a hotel or to stay in campus housing upon your arrival. Our office is NOT able to provide airport pickups. You should call to let the office know when you will be coming to check-in. If you have excess baggage you wish to send ahead of your arrival, first notify International Student Services that you are sending items.
Storage space is very limited.
Money and Expenses Always use common sense when traveling. Do NOT carry large sums of money. Traveler's cheques are recommended for additional amounts because they are easily accepted in Las Vegas and are easy to replace if stolen or lost. If you wish to bring your full semester's tuition payment with you, it is best to use traveler's cheques. Traveler's cheques are accepted at the UNLV Cashier's Office, the campus bookstore, and Office of Campus Housing.
