We took a ride in Uber here in Vegas this evening which was about $30 vs the earlier $40 fare in a taxi. Plus the driver was nice, and the car was much nicer than a taxi. No cash exchange hands. And a tip is not expected so your out of pocket price is even better!
Looks like you were able to avoid the surge pricing. I’m guessing these surge prices are in effect between Friday afternoon and Saturday night/Sunday morning in vegas.
