Las Vegas

Las Vegas is about 60 miles east of better-known Santa Fe, along Interstate highway 25. The nearest major commercial airport is in Albuquerque, about 125 miles away. There are public airports in both Santa Fe and Las Vegas (http://www.airnav.com/air...) that handle non-commercial aircraft. There is Amtrak (http://www.amtrak.com/ser...) rail service via the Southwest Chief (http://www.amtrak.com/ser...), the main Amtrak line across the southwestern United States. This stop has no ticket office and no passenger assistance provided by station personnel, though on-board employees will assist passengers between trainside on the platform and the train itself. There is a waiting room open at train time, within which is a Quik-Trak self-serve ticketing kiosk credit card required to activate kiosk, so tickets may be obtained at the station before boarding the train. The New Mexico Department of Transportation also offers limited public bus service between Las Vegas and Santa Fe on a commuter schedule. (http://www.nmrailrunner.c...)
