    Were you long hauled by the cab driver?

    Did you try the $20 trick?

    I don't see how people get long hauled, there are signs at the airport taxi pickup areas that say what it should cost to go to each hotel. I just point to the sign and say it costs X to get to ________, take anyway you want. Then I ask the driver how much money a month he sends back to ISIS.

    I just tell them to take Tropicana to las VegasBlvd. Sometimes they get their pantiesin a bunch (especially if I'm staying at the Luxor since it is so close)

    But even if you are long hauled, it's like an extra $5.

    We took a taxi home when we got back from Puerto Vallarta. We had a ride set up but I was sick so we told them not to come. Scariest 40 bucks I ever spent.

    Newer Charger but probably a zillion miles. The thing weaved all over the road, had a low tire light and we were doing 80 on the freeway. Fucking insane they can get away with that.

    Just remember that vats of hydrofluoric acid are pretty hard to come in that part of the desert. But from what I understand, human organs are pretty high on the market!

    Are you there alone? With the wife?

    If you like gambling do it downtown, the slots are looser and the odds on blackjack are much better.

    They don't know. Cab driver says "There's a lot of construction, can I take the freeway" or some shit. Not like you know about it if you're an infrequent visitor.

    Paradise, son. I believe Uber picks up at McCarran now.

    If I'm not in a huge rush I just take the shuttle bus. sometimes it sucks ass though since it takes a long time.

    Usually what I do is take Paradise then have the cab wait in the parking lot while I buy booze and shit for the room at the CVS Pharmacy on Paradise and Harmon (across from the Hard Rock). The strip CVS and Walgreens jack their prices up but this one is fairly normal priced and actually has specials.

    Nope. This was from mccarran to my house. The taxi in Mexico was a Nissan van of some sort and it was much better than the taxi ride to my house.
