A blog by a Las Vegas taxi driver about Las Vegas, Nevada, including the good, the bad, and the ugly: The Nevada Taxicab Authority, cab company owners and supervisors, Metro Police, dispatchers, door-persons, the "pit", back-loading, front-loading, long-hauling, meter-rolling, high-flagging, run-outs, robberies, drunks, accidents, and mandatory 12 hour shifts. All cab drivers in Las Vegas are employees of the nine taxicab companies that own all the taxis in Las Vegas. Las Vegas has 40 million annual visitors, the 4th busiest airport in the U.S. with an average of 8600 taxi pick-ups per day, 22K conventions a year, and 15 of the 20 largest hotels in the world.
