What's the biggest tip you ever received?

Asked by J-n-Dub about 13 years ago

The biggest single tip i got was from a couple of kids that were not allowed to fly for bringing cocaine on a plane so i took them round trip from vegas to huntington beach california for a tournament. it was $1600 and they doubled the fare.

I also drive in Vegas, what are some tricks to making top dollar during your shift, i may see you in the pit bros.

Asked by mike o malley almost 12 years ago

Actually the more of a sarcastic asshole that I am to people thebetter tips I get. I actually have found that i make the most money by just picking up wherever I drop, there is way to much time waisted looking for something that is working.

My 22 year old daughter is coming to Las Vegas next week for a conference in Boulder City. She has little freeway driving experience and has been to Vegas once. Would she be ok renting a car and driving from airport to Boulder City or get a cab?

Asked by Erika almost 12 years ago

A taxi to boulder city would be rather expensive probably looking in the neighborhood of abour 50-70 depending on where she is going, howevee that said it is all freeway. I would love this ride personally but my personal suggestion is to set up sedan service, will end up being cheaper since they charge by the hour, and should only take about a half hour to get there.

Are you allowed to pick up fares anywhere or only at Vegas hotels?

Asked by chris about 13 years ago

Well mostly at hotels however, we pick up all over the city not just at hotels. the law just states that a cab can not impede traffic to load or unload passengers, so i'm sure in the spirit of the question that you are asking yes just at hotels.
