UAL MSN –

Were you at the Hilton Grand Vacations at Sahara and LVBS?

If so, I wouldn’t say you got scammed. The cabbie did long haul, though. With your permission, this is legal.

The cabbie took a longer route to McCarran – hence charging you more. However, you benefited by saving time.

There was a big expose in the Las Vegas Review-Journal last year about long-hauling. I’d post a link, but I cant seem to get my user ID on their site to work.

>>>And for those unfamiliar with a city bus, exact change only.

(My quote from a previous post on this thread)

I meant to add: Last year, I was getting on the Strip bus at Slots-A-Fun (between Circus and the HO). Guy in front of me crams a $50 bill into the machine. The conductor provided him with an address to get a refund. Apparently those machines take any denomination bill.

He didn’t hear my snide remark that any machine in LV willingly takes bills.
