I got ripped off by a fat Turkish driver who has been driving for 15 years and works the graveyard shift at LV Cabs. I was his first fare of the night and he made out like a bandit! After an hours-long delay getting into LV, it was 2:00am in the morning. I was tired and vulnerable and this jerk got that. I found out I was a $10-$15 cab ride away and this guy took me for a $42 ride! When I got in at the airport he asked me how I wanted to get there, which should have been a real warning sign. I said please take me the fastest route. He ended up taking me on the highway instead of straight to my hotel. When I told my shuttle driver, who took me back to the airport about the taxi experience, he was incredulous and said I got totally ripped off. Worse yet, I gave this piece of you-know-what a $5 tip! No wonder the taxi business is a dinosaur! I should have known better and will take UBER for now on. I am off ripoff taxis particularly LV CABS!!
