Apparently there is a problem in Las Vegas with cabbies intentionally taking long routes in order to overcharge.

Cabbing in Las Vegas is a pain. There are long line at the airport to get a cab and often even longer at the hotels.
I think I will boycott Las Vegas until Uber is permitted to operate.
