I swore off both Uber and Lyft when I asked for a ride--I don't even remember which company--and first I had to install the app, which I hate, and then I had to provide my credit card number, which I also hate, and then the dinbulb driver couldn't find me even though I described my location very precisely. Half an hour later, I got a text saying that I had been charged $10 for not showing up for my ride. Never again!
One very good reason to take a cab is that the driver will know the area very thoroughly. He will take the best and fastest route. Another good reason is that you'll always pay the same fare for the same trip. With Uber or Lyft, you might have to pay three times as much because it's five o'clock and/or the annual Nun Skinning Festival is in town.
I agree. I take a cab from the airport to Ellis Island or Silver Sevens at a set rate. Last visit it was $23.00.
I use any LVA coupons or free slot play while I am there. Then I take a Las Vegas bus which costs me a $1.00 to go downtown.
