I'm a new cabbie (6 shifts) and I am not making average book per night. I'm close but no cigar. A couple of guys in my training class are making average book per night. I'm not getting as many trips as they are, but I feel I keep busy. Any tips?

Asked by Mark over 12 years ago

It depends on what shift you are working...kind of sounds like you are early days so that is what I will base the answer on. You need to know what hotels have clubs that are working the night before for example on a Thursday morning you should head to the mandalay bay by the convention side because Wednesday nights the light club becomes "elipse" and is really popular. The hotels with clubs on nights like this will have a lot of cabs because they are the only ones moving. You have to remember that a lot of cabs is not always a bad sign also I found after about 10 is when the airport actually started to work kind of pointless to work there earlier unless there is a convention coming in that day or the next. I hope I helped my twitter is connected to hear I will always try to help as much as i can if you want to contact me through that channel

I'm writing a television series in which the main character is a taxi driver in Las Vegas. I'm from the east coast and I've never been to Nevada. Can you briefly explain how you go the job and what it's like (what is the culture)?
