Ask me anything! i will be as honest as possible as to my experiences as a cabbie in las vegas since 2007. if you want a day to day on some of the happenings in the job you can also follow me on twitter, vegascab @vagascab
It depends on what shift you are working...kind of sounds like you are early days so that is what I will base the answer on. You need to know what hotels have clubs that are working the night before for example on a Thursday morning you should head to the mandalay bay by the convention side because Wednesday nights the light club becomes "elipse" and is really popular. The hotels with clubs on nights like this will have a lot of cabs because they are the only ones moving. You have to remember that a lot of cabs is not always a bad sign also I found after about 10 is when the airport actually started to work kind of pointless to work there earlier unless there is a convention coming in that day or the next. I hope I helped my twitter is connected to hear I will always try to help as much as i can if you want to contact me through that channel

On that shift you need to learn which clubs are open the night before and dont work the airport until about 10. Mgm is never a bad bet after like 6 lots of checkouts. Also a good idea to be aware of convention schedule the last day and after last day will have multiple check outs. That shift is bad do your best to get a later shift. That is the worse shift to be in, and the worse time of year...hang in there it gets better
taxi drivers have a 60% turnover rate, the biggest reason for the high turnover is mostly the money though when you start you are on a bad shift it takes some time to make any kind of money

i love working for YCS but have never worked for another company so I couldnt tell you, the best place to find info is on the nevada taxicab aurthority website there is a link to every company
they are all over the place this is a pretty nice town there aren't to many places that you have to watch for except north las vegas and east las vegas in parts every where else is at least decent
every driver is different depends on how quickly you pick it up and what shift you are on. you are guaranteed minnimum wage but there is literally no limit to what you can make. go to the las vegas taxi authority website posted on here early and it will tell you every step you have to take
