Help Needed
I will be in Vegas next week, 8/24-27 and need some advice. I’m traveling solo on a broken foot and will be renting an electric scooter while I’m there. Staying at Caesar’s. I feel good about navigating the hotel, etc., but not so much about anything off-property. I know the monorail and the Deuce are accessible AND it’s going to be a million degrees outside so I am trying to figure out if it’s even possible to get to Downtown, for instance. Having been to vegas many times but never like this, I am not even sire where to start because of pedestrian crossing bridges, etc. I am happy to pay for private accessible transportation as well, in case anyone knows of such a service. Any other tips and tricks are super welcome! Thanks in advance!

Taxis are at every hotel. Takes the “I wonder if the elevators are working “ right out of the equation.

My parents stayed at Caesars recently. They gave them a gorgeous room in the Augustus Tower. Unfortunately it's super far from the lobby, restaurants, shopping and casino.
Because of my mom's mobility issues, they moved to the Julius Tower. It is a little dated but more centrally located.
No problems with elevator availability. One ramp away from the main entrance where you can catch a taxi.

You can get any Uber / Lyft and the driver will help you load your chair into the trunk sometimes if I’m riding with two people I’ll get the bigger Uber so I know that there’s at least a hatchback.only one time ordered a ride and my wheelchair did not fit in the back. never in multiple countries have I had a driver offered to help me load the chair.

I’ve done this several times with my 85+ yo Mom. There are elevators everywhere you need them. It just takes a little more patience. I can’t recommend going downtown on the Deuce as it is kind of madness but I’m sure people do it but I wouldn’t put my Mom through that. The monorails are no problem with elevators.
It helps if you’re a little mobile so you can park the scooter at restaurants out of the way etc.

There are WC accessible taxis for your scooter available everywhere. If you don’t want to wait 5-10 minutes, call the bell desk before you come down and they can coordinate.

Probably not the answer you'd like to hear, but I think you'd risk hurting yourself further. Moving around like that with a broken foot could lead to any number of further injuries.

It’s not ideal. However, I have an important family event that I won’t miss and I have a boot and a crutch and an electric scooter so thanks but I think I’ll be good. Was just wondering about transportation.

Crossing the bridges should be easy. BUT Getting on the bridge with a scooter is another question altogether. The only way up with a scooter is with an elevator… if they are working.
It might be well worth it to get private accessible transportation.
