Taxis and tipping

Hi, I have been lurking - reading, learning, going to suggested websites, etc. I must say this is a great group!! I wish I had found this group months ago!

I do have a question on the taxi topic. I will be coming in this Saturday to Las Vegas with a friend and we will be staying downtown 2 nights and then on the strip 2 nights. I have never gone from the airport to downtown before, Does anyone know, approximately, what should I expect the fee to be? That being said, is there a definite route to tell the driver we would like him to take? Also, is there one of the shuttles that go downtown and would that be less expensive. I know they can take longer, but that doesn't bother me if the savings is substantial.
Thanks for your input/suggestions.

We are staying at Main Street Station. Should we give ourselves a "curfew" to safely return back to MSS after Fremont Street on Sat/Sun nights? Or are we a little nervous for nothing? I have cut through the Vegas Club through their garage and then across the street to the Cal and on to MSS, but have never stayed downtown overnight, making "that" trip late at night. I've read things both ways - I don't want our trip to have an incident!
