LV is one of many U.S. cities where Uber has restricted use...anyone (including myself) will find that uber cab drivers are not only borderline retards who can't find a job anywhere, but also undesirables, who virtually no nothing about LV, can't find a logical way to the airport, let alone to the brothel in Pahrump (where as you'll be charged 3x that of a LV cab) do as your heart dictates, Uber is nothing more than a major pain in the azz when it comes to "taking a cab in Las Vegas"  have fun, enjoy your stay..may you prosper on the way

I don't see where anything I stated contained false content , maybe you should re-read my commentary, and forget about the bus ride

I am from the sticks, so I have never used UBER, but hear it is a cost effective way to get around Vegas quickly. Anyone have  input?
