    UBER now operating in Vegas: Will BOBBYFK be a driver?
    There were rumors that Bobby was looking into driving for Uber.

    This could be a very interesting development for Vegas residents and punters should they find themselves in a vehicle with Bobby Sandals behind the wheel.

    UBER has been operating in Vegas for a long time now. I used it last time I was there. They just weren't allowed to pick up or drop people off at the big hotels on the strip. Has that changed?

      It has not been operating in Vegas for over 1 year Diggity

      It only got approved recently

      Uber pays $8 an hr with no benefits when you add up taxes, gas, wear and tear on car and time

            Oh ok that explains it. I actually didnt use it last trip, I used it two trips ago. I remember the UBER driving saying he couldn't drop us off on the strip and that he also could not go to the airport.

                You can negotiate with cab drivers now. Tell them how much the Uber ride will be and ask if they will match it. Well, it worked the one time I tried that here in Ca. I was getting ready to call an Uber and a cab driver was there waiting and waived me over. I told him I was going to call an Uber and he said he would take me for the same price and I wouldn't have to wait. So I guess there really was no negotiating. Of course I jumped into the cab.

                  Anyone who doesn't love Uber is a Commie.

                  Let the free market decide.

                      Was there over weekend and saw a time or two on news how it was being legislated and such. Was not an option then.

                        actually you make more with uber..

                        and Uber is much nicer.. better cars.. better drivers..

                        i have over 400 rides as a passenger in the last 1.5 years.

                        I work late and I am usually drunk or high..

                        Uber is the greatest thing ever

                              thats bullshit.

                              if the cab ride is $20... then your uber is probably $10-$15..

                              stop making shit up coach

                                Agreed.

                                I remember taking a cab in Louisville years ago to the Greyhound station from my hotel. Station was about 1.5 miles away. Cabbie tried to charge me the airport flat rate, which was like $30. Never turned his meter on. Piece of shit. I gave him $5 and said he could call the cops if he wanted. He just yelled at me and sped away.

                                  I just did the estimate on Uber Karma


                                  Many more requirements in Vegas also to be a driver
                                  Vegas has a different price structure..everywhere is different

                                    Are you worried an Uber driver might seduce you and turn his backseat into a wireless bedroom?

                                      Uber is higher priced than a cab in many places in Vegas because of price structure state gave them

                                            Here's some things to consider Vegas is a very poor city… It's mainly tourist driven with very low wages… It's not even remotely close to a big-time business city where people need rides all over and also there is zero college atmosphere here which is very uber friendly and lots of states

                                            There are not a lot of places that you can actually go


                                            Uber will be nothing like real major cities like Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Boston LA, etc.


                                            People have no understanding of Las Vegas and less you live here… I repeat it's the third poorest city in United States

                                                Cab ride from airport to golden nugget $45.
                                                So round trip is $90.
                                                Can rent a car for 3 days for that.

                                                My last trip we rented a car for $60 for 3 days.
                                                Went to the Hoover dam, all over Vegas, ect.
                                                With gas it was under $90.

                                                All cabs/uber services a waste of $$

                                                  The geographics of Vegas also will not make uber convenient

                                                  Uber agreed to higher fees to get a license here therefore you will see higher prices in the rides

                                                  Las Vegas is one of the poorest city you will ever see

                                                  It's a city of derelicts from all over the United States

                                                      Also remember there are Uber drivers who wont follow the uber rules. I have been dropped off and picked up at John Wayne airport by Uber when they were not allowed to do that.

                                                      i imagine they will get caught though as Uber knows whereyou are picking up and dropping customers off.

                                                        You could get in a lot of trouble playing around unlicensed uber drivers I think they can impound your car

                                                            Bobby is too busy anyways, calling restaurants and ordering food for DoorDash.

                                                            Also, he has two new people that just moved into his house that he needs to take care of, so he doesn't have time for driving an Uber car.
