Default Re: Why are Las Vegas cabbies so weird about tips?

All,

Everyone tips the cocktail waitresses $5 per drink, though, right?

$5 is a bargain when coming from a country where the law prohibits the casinos to give out free drinks and instead charge market price (some $10). I'd tip $5 for the first couple of drinks, and $3 for the next ten or so if I'm on heavy drinking duty.

Food for thought: Vegas bartenders are unionized and make $17/hr base. On a decently busy day, a $1-2 tip is making them $45-60/hr, easily. Still feel the need to throw down a $5?

It's not unskilled labor or an easy job, but it's not [censored] rocket science.
