Q: We’re soon having a big family reunion in Las Vegas, and we’ll be gathering nearly 40 members from all over the U.S. and Mexico. Problem is some visitors and events will be in different hotels on the Strip.

They’re just short distances away, but many of us are elderly and can’t easily do the long walking from hotel to hotel. We also need scooters to navigate the long walks inside the big resort hotels. Are there electric scooter services in Vegas, and what are the prices? EMM, Santa Fe NM A: Walking distances in Vegas can be very deceiving. In some newer resorts, getting from entrance to front desk to sleeping room requires considerable hiking. Going from hotel to hotel, even if  next door or across the street, can be a major trek for advanced-age seniors.

Check out electric scooter and wheelchair services in Vegas. Some include: cyclease.com, sunscooterrental.com, lasvegaswheelchairs.com and others. Costs range up from $50 for each 24-hour period.
