How rude! 75% tip? :mad:



The US tipping culture is just too crazy ;)

Agree, it's not full service. $1 or $2 or so per person is adequate.

vegas cabbies are awful
 
This thread reminded me of a similar awful vegas cab experience.

Last year I was catching an cab around 6 in the morning from the strip to the airport. The cab driver seems fine, a south east asian guy with a very poor command of the english language. We get to the airport, I hand him 10$ (the cab ride was $8.50) and I open the door to get out... and he starts SCREAMING "f*ck you first customer" and goes on a tirade about how cheap I am. At that point, I actually say "give me my change", of course he refuses... sadly I didnt get his badge number and for 1.50$ I let it go :(
