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.
