Five plus weeks and no rides to the strip club and after striking out the previous night I am even more enthused about getting out there at 2am and getting people to the clubs for that money.
For my very first ride I decide to stop by The Hotel @ Mandalay Bay. I am fourth or fifth up but the line is moving fast enough. I'm on the nut (first up) and waiting when I hear the whistle, I pull up and three fine ass chicks (late 20's early 30's) are waiting and get into the cab. They are dressed to impress and they definitely have my full attention (if you know what I mean)!
Two are sitting on the bench immediately behind my seat and the third is in the back seat by herself. One (the bachelorette) takes charge and reaches forward to give me a quick neck massage at the same time saying "we are going to make your night. . ." so I begin to unbutton my shirt (no I didn't, it's only added for a quick joke), ". . . we are going to the Spearmint Rhino."
My first strip club ride and it's ride #1 at 220am Sunday morning and it just happens to be three smoking hot babes going to the club to suck on some breastsss. That's hot. The rest of the ride is a blur (they are from SoCal) and the ending is anti-climatic. I comp the $11.30 ride and after they pay the cover charge I go inside the club and get $30 a head. I tip out $5 to the cashier and $5 to the door and start my day with a $69.70 "tip".

FOTD III - Bachelorette Party
A lot can happen on a short ride. Once again the FOTD originated from Planet Hollywood going to The Excalibur. My fourth or fifth ride early Saturday morning, I pick up five young women (from northern Indiana) from PH. After some small talk I quickly surmise that the group is made up the bride, the friends that DO NOT want to go to a strip club, and the friends that DO want to go to the strip club.
Knowing that I can get $20 a head for taking them to OG's I try to persuade them to go and have some fun, after all isn't this what bachelorette's are supposed to do? I almost had them too, in fact I got the bride + her pro strip club friends to commit, but then change their minds. BOOO.
The problem was she and her fiancee were both in LV for the more-common dual bachelor/ette parties and promised each other NO strip clubs. She drunk-dialed him three times and was put in voice mail each time obviously causing great distress and jealousy for herself. I tried to make it clear to her that it is perfectly OK to go to strip clubs in LV. And that if she was truly worried about breaking a promise, that while she is at OG's to NOT put anything in her mouth. That's all. Promise kept.
But alas, after getting her to agree, her cock blocking friends got back in her head and made a promise that after additional information becomes available (whether or not the bachelor party went to the clubs) they would go up to Windsor, Ontario (where they have male strip clubs) and I quote, "they will slap you on the forehead with it."
About this time we arrive at EX and the rides over. The horny "pro OG" friends got out and gave me a nice look for at least trying to take their bachelorette party to the next level. GG.

Drunkard from Colorado
Thursday begins my four days of regular unrestricted driving. I get to the yard at 6am to begin my 12 hour shift. Our yard is up the street from Mandalay Bay so that is usually my first stop. MB had 20+ cabs and Luxor had 15+ so I went over to Excalibur. To get to the taxi line you need to do a kind of a round-about that runs beneath the pedestrian bridge (to the tram) and flip around to the Tropicana Ave side of the casino. As I turned down that road I could see 15+ cabs waiting so I was planning on going out Trop to NY NY or onward down the strip to find a shorter line. Anyways as I'm going down the drive this dude flags me down.
The drunkard from Colorado is today's fare of the day. Instead of waiting 30-45 minutes for my first ride of the day, this dude jumps in and I take him to the Mirage. He's obviously fucked up and along our drive he mentions a few things,
1. He's glad he didn't try and walk all the way from Mandalay Bay to the Mirage.
2. He invited this hot chick (with 8% body fat) to go hiking with him and his dog up this mountain in waist deep snow (with snow shoes on) and he was embarrassed he performed so poorly.
3. From South Carolina, grew up loving the ocean but now prefers the mountain life. (I mentioned I was from San Diego)
4. His dog was pissed he took him hiking in snow that deep.
5. His flight left Las Vegas in 3 hours.
As I dropped him off I told him to make sure he calls the operator and requests multiple wake up calls just in case he passes out. So that's it. It was great picking up a fare right away and getting the day started. It ended with 34 fares in 12 hours.
(Extra Board means you show up early and get put on a list and you are there to cover shifts for any drivers that don't show up. I've had pretty good luck at getting picked to cover strip cab shifts)

29 Days Later
Thank you my good friends for checking in now and then. It has been a busy 29 days driving a taxi and it is exactly what I needed and wanted. My name is HI2SD2LV and I am a Las Vegas Taxi Driver. Crazy yo's.
It was a rough first week, I used too much gas, spent too much time driving around, waiting in the wrong places, missing too many turns but after that rough patch I've seem to caught on well enough.
Starting out, I was given a schedule of Sat/Mon 745-615 Unrestricted and Sun,T,W,Th Restricted. Unrestricted is the most desired shift because you can pick up anywhere and is known as a strip cab. The other four days I would get stuck out in the rest of vegas and have to serve the locals. Locals seem to tip well but you get much fewer rides and make less money.
I hustled the first month and have been given a new schedule of Th,F 745-615 Sa,Su 2am-2pm strip cab and Wed 5am-5pm extra board. This blogger straight dominates the taxi game and just recently learned of the "Industrial Road" strip bypass which I can't wait to use this upcoming week.
This first fare of the day happened this past saturday on my first night/day shift. I got on at 2am and the strip was in full swing. After four or five fares I pulled in to Planet Hollywood. What a beautiful site, no cabs in line and 50 people waiting. I pull right up to the taxi stand and doorman opens the door and two fine ass chicks with some dudes jump in.
Our company has mini vans with two bench seats in the back and we're the only ones that can fit five comfortably. So long story short these two women are porn stars and the men are their bosses (director, producer). And since there are thousands of girls willing to do porn in Las Vegas, I guess the way to the top is to chill with the money men.
Basically, I give them the go ahead to do what porn stars do in the cab and the chick in the back seat performs a nice noisy 20 minute blow job. The guy is like "don't worry I wont make a mess." While the two in the back are busy, I get to talk with Hailey Young and the guy who runs the pr0n site brazzers(dot)com.
Maybe other taxi drivers don't like this kind of behavior? But really, I could care less. So long story short, I drop each of the couples off at different houses (mansions-pr0n pays well) and at the end the benefactor of the BJ leaves me a nice tip and thanks me for being cool. Whatever.
Maybe I am in the right place. After all Ron Paul finished second out here in Nevada.
