I've heard that sometimes there are doctors, lawyers, and maybe teachers who drive cabs. Do you k now if this is true or not?

Asked by Donny about 13 years ago

Absolutely true! A lot of different people drive taxi in vegas you never know who you will be riding with...I absolutely love when educated people get in the cab and we debate

posted thank you someone even put it up at the airport for a few days

I just got back from Vegas and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! A $12.75 fare and I gave him $15 (reasonable) and he whines about it, then tells me to get the hell out of his cab when I tell him "Sry, I'm not rich." Was I too cheap? Attitude was WAY out of line!

Asked by Tim about 13 years ago

I agree the attitude is WAY out of line, like I said before you are in no way obligated to tip a driver!  The tip here is a little over 10% I myself would like to have more but I understand when it doesnt happen.  You were definatly not to cheap if this happens again and it offends you call the taxi authority and report the driver!!

I respect that you're one of the HONEST drivers out there, and I too will do the same. But unfortunately, since many drivers in Vegas are indeed longhauling, and you are expected to compete with their average and "make book", how do you rememdy that?

Asked by Newbie almost 13 years ago

It really isnt that hard really i dobt have much of a problem everkeeping up but i generally do 10 more rides than these guys because im not waisting time running back to the airport, so not only do i keep up but i make more in tips since i have nore rides

I will be in Vegas for 1 week in October with my wife. We rarely use drugs but its Vegas and our kids won't be coming on the trip. Is it safe to ask a cab driver for cocaine? What is the price of a gram or an 8ball. Where is the best place to get it?
