Hi,

when we come to Town, we seem to have trouble finding a reliable cab company that shows up to take us to the airport, have almost missed a couple of flights
once we even had to go down to the Gold coast and have a cab follow us back.
we have a condo on S valley view blvd.

would appreciate it if anyone can give us any recommendations .

Cabs are difficult to find for calls like that...problem being that MANY people will call SEVERAL companies for pickup and then take the first one that shows up...leaving the others out in the cold....

Best bet is to establish a relationship with ONE SINGLE DRIVER....[that is established by...making it worth his while] ($$$)

It's the VEGAS WAY.

MONEY TALKS BS WALKS.

Can't use monorail. The first 2 words were implied.

Only way to be sure you'll get it would be to get a limo company for service which costs two to three times as much as a cab in general. Taxis are horribly unreliable, they will even tell you to call 45 minutes in advance to be certain you get timely service. Even if you get a good driver and establish a relationship with him, he's still responsible to follow cab company calls so he could get stuck with a fare when your time window comes up.

1) Take a bus to the airport.
2)Take a bus to the nearest hotel/casino & then grab a taxi.

Maybe you gotta go old school. Go out to the curb and show some leg.
