Let the amount of money Conner has be represented as \( C \).
According to the problem, if Conner had another $6, he would have three times as much money as Rei. Since Rei has $18, we can set up the equation:
\[
C + 6 = 3 \times 18
\]
Calculating \( 3 \times 18 \):
\[
3 \times 18 = 54
\]
Now we can substitute this into our equation:
\[
C + 6 = 54
\]
To find \( C \), we subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
C = 54 - 6
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
C = 48
\]
Therefore, Conner has \(\boxed{48}\) dollars.
