Re: Genral tipping advice in LV
I need to add another person to this list after this past week.
The skycaps at McCarran.
See that long taxi line that someone says is now 2 hrs long?
Have 2+ bags (tiny laptop bag counts!)?
Find the guys with the metal carts and show them at least $5, and those guys will take you to the VIP line, ahead of the unknowing tourists, and get you in your taxi within 10 minutes.
(I flew back into town this past weekend and the taxi line was horrendous, indeed 2 hrs long - normally I'd say tip the skycap $5, but on this night I went for $10 to really make sure I'd get their attention. And you need 2 bags, my guy told me to drop my laptop case on the cart to make it kosher.)
Of course, before looking for the skycap, check out the taxi line - it's weird, there's either no one waiting for one, or the line is a mile long.
Or if you're balla (and don't have a limo) just go for the skycap and drop a nickel or two and just get it over with.
