On my last trip, I had a chance to use Uber several times. The service was great and it was nice knowing that you weren't going to get long hauled.
In every instance, the most we waited was about 3 minutes before the car showed up. Apparently, the Uber app does not sync exactly 100% to google maps. This means that the driver sees you about 800 feet away from where you are actually standing. A quick note or call to the driver rectifies this problem. Some drivers have been able to use a different map system to maintain better accuracy.
For being early in the existence of Uber Las Vegas, the process was very smooth and easy to use. Because the drivers want to get a high rating from their passengers, they are very professional and courteous. Many of our drivers asked several times if we were happy with the cleanliness of the car and if we wanted the interior temperature changed. The drivers also give a rating to the passengers. So it is sort of two way street.
One of the drivers told us that presently the are not permitted to pick up from the airport, otherwise they face a fine. Does that mean they won't? One of the drivers told us that he will pick up from the airport, but he will not display his Uber pass and he will instruct the passengers where to meet.
If you want a free promo code which is worth about $20 towards your next trip, just PM with your email. I believe that this code will work across the country and there are no strings attached whatsoever. This is the way Uber markets themselves which works really well. Both my buddies who came to Vegas, who have never used Uber, are now hooked on this transportation alternative.
