With a family of four, how much does someone need to pull in annually to live comfortably in Vegas? I'm considering some job opportunities in the area.

Asked by The DAO over 12 years ago

Depends on what your definition of "comfortably" is...but I would say that at least 30k I would venture to say 35k would be almost average salary here. However that is just a guess...i made almost 40k driving last year before tips.

I just got back from Vegas and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! A $12.75 fare and I gave him $15 (reasonable) and he whines about it, then tells me to get the hell out of his cab when I tell him "Sry, I'm not rich." Was I too cheap? Attitude was WAY out of line!

Asked by Tim about 12 years ago

I agree the attitude is WAY out of line, like I said before you are in no way obligated to tip a driver! The tip here is a little over 10% I myself would like to have more but I understand when it doesnt happen. You were definatly not to cheap if this happens again and it offends you call the taxi authority and report the driver!!

I applied at YCS, got hired then failed the drug test :-(. Apparently they took urine AND hair, which i was not ready for. Do u know how long i have to wait before i can reapply? also, how long was it before you never got assigned a Geo cab?

Asked by TJ almost 12 years ago

I'm not sure how long until you can reapply and you will never get assigned a geo cab once you have gotten a shift, and that is completely up to you how long that takes

I had a cab driver rear end my car near the strip and am less than pleased with the evasiveness of their third party insurance adjuster. Is it common for them to diminish or deny claims if they can get away with it?
