So what's the latest on light singles at McCarran? The last time I
tried to get in I was VFR and was curtly told that there would be a 90
minute delay for VFR arrivals. Am I better off filing IFR, or would
the delays get worse? Would I be more likely to get in IFR?

I know I can go to Henderson or North Las Vegas, but I have some pax to
drop off on the strip and McCarran w/ shuttle service is so much more
convenient for them than a rental car, etc.

90 minutes?!

Avgas at LAS 5.94, VGT 3.41. Mileage to "The Strip"- 4 vs 8.

They don't like you and your ilk soiling the tarmac at LAS.

I'd use VGT and call a cab on approach.
