    We had a 9:40 departure today on AA. Caught a cab at about 7:45 from the Nugget. You got to watch those crooked fukkin cabbies, boys.

    A cab ride from downtown LV to airport should run from $28 - $30. This oriental fukk tried to fukkin take me on the scenic route for $45+. I raised holy hell and told him good luck with that, pal. He said just give him $30 and go on. I said "no shit, pal." He's lucky he didn't catch a beating as well.

    Also..just got to our gate. Flight is oversold, so AA was offering $500 vouchers for volunteers to take next flight out at 11:20. We jumped on it. Only an hour and 40 wait for $1000 in free flights? AA delayed me 2 fukkin hours on the way out and didn't give me shit! That's a +EV swing right there boys!!

    All good times this weekend. Always enjoy seeing the brethren!!

    This shit happened to me down at the Nugget going to the LVH. rooster_eater took the scenic route, usually a $8-$10 fair. I called him out right before we got there, I was close to hitting the dumb rooster_eater.

    He gets out at the LVH and starts yelling at me, telling me he is going to call the cops. LOL Told him to **** off and walked

    If you don't know your way around Vegas, you are definetly getting screwed on cab fares

    Yeah, they're always trying to long haul us. Especially from the airport they tried taking the tunnel on me I said I know what you're doing and how much it should cost and he tried arguing. They say it's so competitive they need to squeeze every penny out of the tourists Then they still expect a fukkin huge tip too.

    I hate being scammed. I'd rather them tell me they need the money badly than try to rip me off. They are more likely for me to give it them to try and rip me off. I always take care of cabbies, I know it's rough out there to try and make a buck. Treat me fair, and I will do so back.....and then some

    Asians always pull this shit but it often backfires

    In Toronto they run half the convenience stores and are so cheap they keep their fridges at the highest possible temperature so half their milk products go bad. Nothing upsets mathy more than expired coffee cream in the morning. Now I go twice as far to buy from someone else.

    No Asian will ever be the world's richest man and it will always be an Asian that is the world's poorest.

    You were one of the guys I definitely wanted to meet, pal. I've always thought you seemed like a good guy, and Saturday night confirmed that.

    Was hoping to meet monkeyfocker as well. Didn't end up running into him. Hopefully another time.

    I used to think so, now they are all the same - as mathy pointed out. Also, they ruined many of my favorite porn sites. Now half of those sites are filled with blurry twat. Not a fan anymore.

    How could someone not know their way around Vegas? There's like four roads you gotta know. Anyone who gets scammed by a cabbie has to be a hamburger.
