Vegas Trip Report December 6-13
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
Base fare: $2.40
Per minute: .30
Per mile: $1.85
I can't imagine it being that much cheaper plus the inconvenience of waiting when a cab is right now, no planning, no waiting.
when you look at the UBER and LYFT app it shows you the nearest drivers and you get to pick whomever you want ... its a FLAT based fee and you can tip if you like ... cabs in Vegas are ridiculous high ... last time we were there it was $15 from Monte Carlo to RIO and you could see the damn place from our hotel
You went back to Monte Carlo since I was playing there with you? :facepalm:
Maybe I'll check it out but I'm on vacation and don't care about a few extra bucks. If it was $15 to Rio how much would these guys charge and stiffing them from a tip? I could never do that.

no it was that much when WE were there ... what a trip :facepalm:
the entire price is prepaid into the trip ... tipping is optional as the drivers are paid by trip ... tipping additional is always appreciated :0074 I will probably start working for them soon

Andy is right with Uber. I used them in NYC last week and 3 weeks ago and someone is always ready to pick you up, no matter where you are. It's crazy. And, flat rate price as well as tip built in. Always an Escalade or limo type car picked us up. Group of 5 is what we had each time. Try it Jack.

EDITORIAL: Let Uber be Uber
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL:
To build a 21st-century economy, Nevada needs 21st-century companies. But a District Court judge?s embrace of a decidedly 20th-century regulatory structure has chased off one of the country?s most popular high-tech businesses ? and denied hundreds of residents the jobs it supports.
Uber?s test drive across Nevada was a brief one. Through a smartphone app, the ride-share company connected drivers to passengers in need of a lift, generally in less time and for less money than service offered by the lumbering, inefficient taxicab industry. Uber is used in cities around the world by educated people who are accustomed to gaining new, cost-saving conveniences through technology ? the kind of people the Las Vegas tourism industry covets as customers.
But Nevada?s protectionist transit regulators moved swiftly and harshly to crack down on Uber drivers. On Nov. 25, Washoe County District Judge Scott Freeman issued an injunction that prevents the company from operating under its business model. To resume service to the thousands of visitors and locals who like ride sharing, and to put back to work the hundreds of Nevadans who drove as independent contractors, Uber will have to conform to the incredibly expensive and outdated standards imposed on cab companies ? which helped inspire the creation of Uber?s better business model in the first place.
?It?s unfortunate that Nevada is the first state in the nation to temporarily suspend Uber,? company spokeswoman Eva Behrend said.
In trying to advance economic development, Nevada leaders are projecting an image of a technologically progressive state. Its handling of Uber indicates otherwise. The 2015 Legislature must clean up this mess by passing a bill that lets Uber be Uber ? and shows Nevada welcomes outside innovation and competition.
