Got into cab at Venetian to go to airport. Cabbie immediately starts yapping in a thick NY/NJ accent that he knows all the history of Vegas and that he is available to do tours all over on his off time - even gives us his business card for it. Constantly asking us trivia questions while driving (and not all his answers were correct either!) - then he turns and heads for the Freeway! This jerk added almost $15 to what the fare SHOULD have been by long hauling us. The freeway is NEVER the shortest distance between the airport and the strip. Long hauling is not allowed by the Taxi authority. We have filed a complaint. If it happens to you too, copy driver's name, cab company name, & cab # from the card posted on the front dash. Make sure you file a complaint - the LV Taxi Authority will pull his license if enough people complain.""Thanks a lot for a sour end to a nice holiday""
Cons: Cabbies taking advantage of tourists - no class!
