I had to return and pick up a bag from McCarran Airport in the middle of my short Vegas vacation. The first yellow cab driver was nice, not too overly friendly or chatty. The fare from Linq hotel to the airport costed me $16.75. $20 took care of the fare and tip. Returning to the same hotel from the airport costed us almost $30. Solomon Tesfagaber took us the long and slow way to hustle more money out of us. He was the overly friendly and chatty driver who asked us if we wanted to take the freeway or no freeway. When my husband responded "you are the driver. The fastest way."
What other reason this guy Solomon had other than hustling us by asking a couple of tourists which way for already a short 7 minute ride to hotel from the airport.
My husband was vey vocal about this ride (soon as he took us to tunnels and freeway, my ex-cabbie husband knew what he was up to) and made this ride very uncomfortable for the driver.
