Cab fares going up in Vegas

First 1/8th of a mile = $3.20
Each additional 1/8th = 0.25
Waiting time = $22.00 per hour
McCarran Airport pickup fee = $1.20

Guess that will make it 0.275 per eighth now?

So it's a 10% increase in the per-mile rate.

This sucks for locals whose rides are generaly much longer than tourists, but I bet your average vegas cab ride is less than 5 miles (even including airport rides) so thats less than a buck increase.

And last time I checked gas prices are up.
