While waiting to get into Body English at the Hard Rock Casino, Cuba Gooding Jr popped out the doors and ran through the crowd into the casino. This being the most interesting thing happening at BE for the evening we decided to leave the "line" and head out to another club where we knew the bouncer.
As we got into the taxi queue Cuba was hamming it up to the crowd, taking off his shirt. With his small entourage, he jumped inside a CLS Suburban limo. The taxi line was huge, so when we were offered a similar limo from CLS for $35 we accepted and jumped in.
When we arrived at the Rio hotel the driver asked for $55! He said $35 was for a "town car", that we were in a "limo." What a f***ing scam. Damn those childproof automatic locks!
At least I had some karmic justice later in the night. When we left the Rio another CLS dude was trying to solicit people to ride in a "limo" for $35 again. Too ploughed to care I started yelling - "Don't do it! It really costs $55!" He laughed and walked away from the crowd.
