<I will be flying into Las Vegas on Friday or Saturday and would like a
suggestions as to the easiest, most reasonably priced airport and which one
might have transportation to down town>

 

We have had good luck at North Las Vegas (VGT).  Free shuttle to downtown hotels.  You have to pay for the return to the airport. Tom and Lorraine Zedaker have a beautiful IV-PT on that field.
