You know that you CAN pick up at the LVCC when restricted right?

Yeah, I know. Should have seen how packed it was with cabs.

I've seen it...sometimes worth it and sometimes not....most of the times someplace is packed I'd go work in the vacuum they left. I would have worked Rio and HRH hoping to drop at the strip and get loaded by doormen at casinos that had no cabs! Unless TA is right there watching, no one is going to say anything.

I staged at hrh, didn't move at all. I checked it every time I went by.
Rio wasn't moving very well.
Palms was alright. Got a couple loads when dropping off, but most of the time there was other cabs waiting.
Traffic was horrific. The airport tunnel was closed for a wreck, swenson, trop, koval, lvb in front of caesars etc.
Took me 45 minutes to get from Caesar's flamingo side entrance to t3.

I'm not sure you are actually going to the HRH cab line...something tells me you are going to Hard Rock Casino cab line. The HRH tower has a cab line in the garage entrance to the tower...There's rarely more than two or three cabs there. Hard Rock has two different cab lines.

Other casinos have multiple cab lines or legal/semi legal pickup points:

Rio=2
Caesars=4
Mandalay=6
Hard Rock=2
MGM=5
Circus Circus=2
LVCC=2
LVH=3
Flamingo=2
PH=3
Bellagio=2
Aria=2
NYNY=2
Fashion Show=5
Sapphire=2

Did you exit right and take the 15 to Trop?

Yeah, I checked both at hrh.

Getting from Caesars to trop was quick. Getting from paradise to the terminal was the problem.

PH has 3? I only know about 2. Lol.

Mgm is a mess. Took me forever to figure out how to get to wet republic.

I really hate going into nyny. It's a mess. There are 10,000 speed bumps.

You have the registration main line, Elara and the Miracle Mile Shop entrance....not a line but it pays to swing in there once in awhile.

Well, I started driving cab Weds 00.30. So much to learn. I'm barely existing, let along make any money. (lol). First night, just drove around til daylight, trying to see where entrances & cab lines were. Then back & forth to same hotel (& going to airport mainly). I didnt understand even where to go, to pickup airport rides....2nd night, same. 3rd night, -- made myself get past comfort zone, picking up from nightclub (which customers can be scary!). One guy so drunk, gave me his room key & told me to takehim there (haha)- & i'm trying to figure out where it is, as his head is already between his knees & the barfing is soon to follow (but didnt)- had window down. 2nd people- 2 guys & girl- thot they were gonna rob me; couldn't figure out where they were going, acting strange. Rest of people were fine. Of course, not making average, and making only $20-35 night tips. Only doing like 8-10 trips. I finally figured out how to pick up loads at airport which will help. Man, this job is not what I thought it would be, tho!.....
