Las Vegas Taxi Cab Directory

I want to provide my readers with some taxi information.  Of course, it's easy to grab a cab at a hotel, but what do you do when you want to go off the Strip?  You need to have a phone number of a cab company so you can return to your hotel.  Also, I want to provide some of the fare information.

The base fare is $3.30, which means as soon as you open the door to the taxi, the meter will read $3.30
Each additional 1/13 mile is $.20, which means it is $2.60 per mile
There is an airport pick up fee which is $1.80
There is a waiting time fee which is $30/hour if you need a cab to wait for you somewhere (maybe while you take a picture in front of the Welcome To Las Vegas sign, for instance)

A lot of the cabs accept credit cards now, but keep in mind that a lot of them still DO NOT accept credit cards.  Always have enough cash on you just in case you end up in a cab that does not accept cards.

Always remember that it is against the law to hail a cab on the Strip.  When you need a cab, you must go to a hotel valet.  There is always a designated area for cab drop offs and pick ups at the hotel valets.  If a valet puts you in a cab, make sure to tip him a few dollars.  Not all hotels have someone putting you in a cab, though.  For example, I was at Hooters a couple of years back and there was no one at their entrance to get me a cab.
