Rip off. I was picked up by this cab company at the airport. I was to be brought to the Luxor and my driver asked me which way I would like to go there?! I found this odd as I've only been to Vegas one other time 10 years ago. He said do you want to go the highway or other way...it was dark out and after a long flight I just wanted to get there. You can see the hotel from the airport. I said well I'd like the quickest/shortest route.
The driver proceeded to take the highway/interstate and with no other traffic it took forever to get to the hotel that I swear I could throw a rock to from the airport.
With the $5 of "extras" and voucher charges my bill was $29.89. Plus additional tip.
Where I am from we utilize uber. I realize some airport keep uber out but prior to taking this cab ride, my uber app showed me the fare would have been around $5.
I left on Sunday to return to the airport. I was picked up by a taxi and in my mind I was thinking this would be another $30+ charge. This nice driver "unsure of company" didn't ask me how we should drive there and he didn't take the highway. The ride was so short I felt even more ripped off from my first cab ride in town. The total bill was $14! Which was a fair price.
As I can see on yelp this is a common experience. In fact friends I met at Luxor also had a long $30+ taxi ride. I can't speak for them on who or what company that was.
