The cabs are very accessible, they are mini vans and they just throw ya in the 
back, no lock down needed.

You just might meet several Quads while you are in Vegas. The city is quite 
friendly and many of the new hotels have battery operated ceiling lifts. I 
would talk directly with the hotel you are planning to stay at and ask them all 
the questions you want. 
The streets of Vegas can be narrow with all the traffic and construction going 
on, so plan on taking the overhead train. I know they have one taxi but I also 
think they have several cabs that are accessible, if needed. 

What month are you going? 
Best Wishes

That Vegas Tram only goes to a few of the hotels, but it's a good option for 
easy travel [although it seemed a bit pricey to me.]
 
If you're staying on the Strip and don't plan to go anywhere off the Strip you 
can get around just fine taking an accessible cab from the airport to your 
hotel and then just walking [rolling] up and down the Strip. There are so many 
things to see along the street you will not get bored. 
 
You can catch an accessible cab at any of the big hotels. Just look for the 
taxi line in front of the main entrance. Go to the front of the line and let 
them know you need an accessible cab, as you'll get priority. Kind of like 
going to the front of the line at Disneyland.
 
A few free things you should see:
Fremont Street [the old downtown strip]
Bellagio dancing fountains
Treasure Island pirate battle
 
Talk to your hotel's concierge to get special deals and learn about other 
happenings you shouldn't miss. If you plan to see shows  be sure to get tickets 
ahead of time. If you want to eat at specific restaurants call and make 
reservations the day before. 
 
Have fun!!
